Ms Donnelly is a parent we don't see enough of in this world. I couldn't stop smiling as she put a very clueless teacher in her place. And it isn't Mrs Smith's fault. She's merely a product and now a tool of the very system hopefully Jonathan will one day have the freedom and independent thought to shake up and change. Such a great play!

As I get closer and closer to being the very speaker of this monologue myself, this cuts me to my core. And any performer with a love in their heart for an animal companion will be unable to get through this piece without a shimmer of a tear.

Plumridge has a powerful handle of the meta in yet another wonderfully funny and fast-paced script. I love how childlike the Male and Female characters are while discussing their violent actions with each other. Just delightedly discovering their dark sides for the first time. This would be a fun piece to start off a short play festival!

This piece is dark, moody and just so naturally written you almost forget it is about supernatural circumstances. I love that the character is only described as "The Speaker." It means any one performer could play this role and each performer can make this piece resonate in many different ways. Absolutely haunting. In my mind, a little about depression and overcoming it. But I see so many other meanings, depending on who and how the speaker you hear speak these words. This will haunt my memories for a while.

If you are looking for an alternative to the standard production of A CHRISTMAS CAROL in your season, this play is still of the same flavor (and author), but has a bit more of a universal lesson. Love is opening yourself to heartbreak. For love will always break your heart. But if you don't let it and erase all memory of the pain, you erase all memory of the love as well. Redlaw is far less of a Scrooge, but still bitter and in need of redemption and his journey to it is one audiences will definitely enjoy.

Whoa. This was a freaky, tension filled piece hidden behind somewhat casual conversation. Lawing takes the mundane and makes it terrifying. Look out Rod Serling!

This is a tension filled thriller. The audience will be right along with Anna trying to puzzle out what Emily's visions mean. Is this a storm of the past, the present or a horrible future to come? From a design as well as an acting standpoint, this will be some powerful work.

Ha! I love the image of an awkward, somewhat ineffectual death. I don't know who is in for more of a surprise at the end of this play, Mom or Death, but it sure is fun!

This is such a shattering and relatable piece. I too, read the Yellow Wallpaper as a young scholar and was forever changed by it. I too, was somewhat grateful and comforted by being isolated during the pandemic. But the twist of "the after" is what really shook me. The post partem depression is understandable in today's world. The lack of assistance with child rearing, very familiar. But Charlotte's words beyond The Yellow Wallpaper are so unrelatable and the discovery of those words breaks not only T, but this reader as well. Heartbreakingly superb work here.

And this is why we can't have nice secret societies, people! You want your independence and freedom? Then live in the dark! A good secret is so hard to keep. Don't keep this short play a secret, though!
