This play flows very much how time flowed during the pandemic lockdowns. Disjointed, dreamy. Where even the things we loved and looked forward to at home became routine and mundane. But then there is the magic of connection. Of breaking down walls and finding the magic beyond the walls and locking the magic back in again with you. A poetic, lyrical, queer dreamscape.

I love how this lyrical play turns the romantic notion of falling in love on its ear. Love doesn't have to mean being tied to someone and becoming someone's other half. You can love and still be you, a star in the sky and free. Love isn't magic. Love is just human emotion, personified. This play is lovely.

This is almost a ballet love story, how we flash back and forth from one love story to another. All connected through the music that connected both couples in the past and the present. I could see this even being an Oscar winning short film starring some famous actors who just wanted to do "real art" on their own terms. It's lovely. The script is a painting of words, and the performance will be a moving operetta.

This is a play about connections, disconnections and reconnections. A piece where several actors can really showcase their skills. Lots of lovely moments where the stories overlap in an almost lyrical way. I am NOT familiar with the album that inspired it, but I think it's a great piece all on its own!

This has all the snarky and delightful flavor of a Christopher Guest movie. The characters are big and fun, the setting somewhat familiar, but totally turned on its ear and the characters are spiraling out of control, much to the audience's delight. This would be especially fun to costume!

Oh this bear! His bluster and stories rooted in historical fact make it hard not to believe his fanciful tales! Bear has put a spell on all who hear his story. Beware! The Bear will enchant you, too!

This isn't your typical relationship play. Because it could be a story about a couple taking the next step together, and Adam and Raine's story alone is lovely. But Adam's relationship with himself and his selves, that is the real story. His "coping" mechanism he developed as a child for handling difficult emotions has gotten out of control. It almost gets frightening at points. But luckily Raine is a steady hand to reach for Adam. Everyone should have a Raine in their lives.

From the beginning scene description, we know there is something sinister and off about this place and the people within it. The formality in which everyone behaves is almost frightening. And we get the hint this is a futuristic story when we hear mention of Target and West Elm (weird I got an email from West Elm LITERALLY as I read that scene!) I definitely want to know more, but I am also terrified to discover the whole story!

This is such a fascinating story. We have characters we sort of recognize, the angel and the devil, and a whole wild play full of characters we're trying to get to know. But we are getting to know them through unreliable narration and wild and unfamiliar settings. The devil and angel will have a blast creating the multitude of characters and environments. This play is truly an adventure to mount as well as to view. And the music to be created for this piece could likely be life altering!

This is such a great play. The conversations and character revelations unfold so naturally, it's like we are truly eavesdropping on a conversation chain at a dog park. And the things we discover about the characters are surprising, joyful and heart wrenching. The monologue that Jody gives is so raw and real in her frustration and anger. This is a great piece for auditions, so take note actors! Theatres that want to showcase some of their strongest performers should definitely add this to their season!
