Oh God. I read "A Tree Grows in Longmont" and sobbed hysterically. But this one hits even harder. Somehow the joy of Sam stabs the heart a little harder. Knowing Philip (and other pet lovers who have lost pets) was full of so much sadness and regret at the end, they couldn't even entertain the idea of seeing a manifestation of their sweet pup Sam. The funny thing about happy memories is they can make you cry harder than the sad ones sometimes. There won't be a dry eye in the house with this play.

I love to see women take control of their lives and work together. And the comparison of Henry VIII as well as The Scottish Play is very clever. The depiction of Henry offstage in the tub the whole scene is very fun and telling of the kind of person Henry is without ever having to see him. After all, he isn't important any more to these ladies. Is he?

Oh wow! This is a fascinating tale from Japanese folklore. It would be so fun to design and students and adults alike will be engaged. It feels like this might be a piece from a series? A great way to introduce students to performing, folklore they may not be familiar with and the lessons they teach!

Bear, though fearsome, is also a kind hero. And loves the gratitude of those he spares! A truly classic episode of The Bear!

I love a good revenge play! And the fact that the haunting is just background noise makes this play so very unique. This does not go the way anyone would expect and it will keep you guessing til the end.

This play absolutely gutted me. I'm kind of Kim right now, myself, but not with a polar bear, of course. Still, without the strong personal connection to this story, everyone should be gutted by this play because it can and very likely will happen. And it's not fair. And it's absolutely beautiful and heart breaking to watch Kim and Leta sit vigil and witness the beginning of the end. Not just for science. But for humanity. Just beautiful.

Oh my heart broke for Barbara. But being in a relationship as long as George and Barbara have, you make your opinions clear, or else how does the relationship last? Obviously George was drunk and could have been a little kinder in his opinion, but I am glad to see they worked it out in the end!

This is such a sweet snapshot scene for young actors to practice connecting, comic delivery in a dramatic scene and natural dialogue. It is absolutely adorable and perfect for advanced students as well as new students to the dramatic arts. Very smart and doesn't talk down without being too dark on a dark subject.

The World building in this short play is so distinct and terrifying yet the characters we meet are so desperate for the mundane moments of life they will never get to experience. So they share them together in quick symbolic succession in such a sweet way. Very sad and reminiscent of a classic Twilight Zone episode

I love the seemingly over the top callousness of Bill in the face of potential product disaster. But, in a way, this also feels a little too real! A very funny comedy about how America will take a "cure all" despite the new problems it might cause because drug advertising is so powerful!
