Bridget and Morgan are such real and complicated characters. We get a hint of what they used to be like when they were younger, but to see their new dynamic is so engaging! I honestly would love to see more of this story, because I really feel and understand both perspectives in this situation. I think audiences will too!

This is such a great play about family dynamics, relationships, and finding your path. It all takes place at a bed and breakfast during a wedding weekend. And we never meet the bride and groom! The guests are so dynamic and their lives so intriguing. I was hooked from page 1 to the end!

Poor Jackie! Voice to text failure and then sudden loss of service can send a person into a dramatic worst case scenario spiral! This would be a great short monologue for a teen actor! Lots of room for drama, teen angst and comic timing.

At first you see the beautiful moments of this speaker's life. The picture postcard. But as they go on, we see the red ink moments in this story. The bits they should have known better about and but didn't, failing their loved ones horribly. And by the last sentence, you feel the chill in your soul that the speaker feels through their whole being. We are stunned into silence.

When two people have one track minds, but each one on a completely different track, you get a date like Cathy and Ian's. Silly, naughty and with some fun bits of physical comedy, the audience will be on the edge of their seat wondering "will they? won't they?" And with each rebuff, the laughs will follow!

I just listened to the audio version of this play on "Gather By The Ghostlight." This was definitely wicked! I love Greek style of having the worst of the gore happen offstage. The characters describe the events so colorfully and yet without much urgency other than to be able play through and finish their game because there is a free boozy lunch on the line! Even when met with the killer, the characters are conversational, if only a little nervous being confronted with a bloody shoe, foot still inside. Another Busser classic comedy!

This was not what I expected at all, and each page continued to surprise me with twists. But what was funnier than the absolute insistent that the child eat her toast was that no one was concerned that the toaster was sentient and seemingly the leader of this breakfast table government. Just like GE, Weaver “brings good things to life!”

Emma is Emma. And Barbara. And Bobbie. Together they are broken. And together they are whole. This one woman, 3 person show is like nothing you have ever witnessed. It will destroy you and bring you back to a happy warm spotlight in the end. This is a hard play. But it's a story that not only frees Emma, it frees all who want to forget but NEED to remember the dark corners of their pasts.

What might seem as a super meta play about a writer with writer's block, is actually so much more. Throw in a talking monkey and a talking horse, you get physical comedy, terrible "a ___ walks into a bar" jokes and so many other creative ideas to write about! Jack is doing his best not to get locked in his head. And with these crazy characters around, how could you? I laughed out loud at the end!

This is so timely, unfortunately. And hopefully, someday, it won't be. But this piece shook me to silence, just like Calvin. The way we deal with unbearable grief, it's all so different from human to human. The emotions both parents (on stage and off) are feeling come across so clear. This will be a powerhouse monologue to witness.
