I remember third grade well. And it was a lot like this play! Imagination is so fragile when kids are trying to be "grown up" at the same time. This sweet play shows kids that sometimes a bully doesn't need to be "taken down" but perhaps given a hand up to join in the fun! Children will be pretending to be Kiki Pineapple at recess for weeks after seeing this wonderful piece!

This moody memory play paints grand and dark portraits of a writer's tortured past. All artists put little pieces of their souls into their own work and sometimes it is torture to watch them grow and suffer in a cruel world. In my mind's eye, I can see a chilling set and lighting design backed by the heightened language full of emotion and poetry. This would be a great piece for any theatre to tackle for their season...perhaps for a spooky fall opening?

This play is like a postcard from a far away land, but instead of the usual phrase it reads "Wish I were there." It's a great reminder that life is to be lived. That even the simplest thing like cutting a peach can be a thing of beauty. If you don't slow down now and then, you'll wish you did. A magical slice of after-life.

The ultimate workshop play about workshop plays! It's true, write what you know, but in this play, it seems these writers aren't exactly sure what they know anymore. It's fun to see how playwrights navigate the dystopian world around them and how they handle each other!

I think I’ve read for this play! Literally and figuratively! This is a fun and frustrating look into the world of auditions and “making strong choices.” This play is full of strong choices and has a killer blow line! An absolute delight!

When a play features a star nosed mole, I'm in...but I'm not sure if the mole is sold on the concept! A play worthy of Tarantino's time...or at least a minute of it!

This play is a sigh. A sunset. A snapshot of time we all want to linger in. The setting is a painting and I want to live there forever with the love in the air around Win and Tim.

This is such a sweet play. When two strangers come together to trade dolls and fears. It doesn't come easy. I think the theme of parenting and manly stereotypes is handled so skillfully in these quick pages. A great addition to any evening of theatre and actors will love tackling these roles!

So relatable to anyone who has participated in academic theatre. Student performers will revel in performing the truth of this piece. What a great exercise to bring a cast together as one!

This is such a scary concept that parents, teachers and students have to live with every day. Yes, rules are in place to ensure the greatest number of students are safe and secure. But good teachers see their students as more than just numbers/statistics. And the people in charge of the schools have no choice but to see them as numbers/statistics. And this play hovers in that grey area. We wish we had answers. Instead, we just get rules.
