This is exactly the family comedy I hear so many theatres begging for! Great roles for women over 40, relatable situations, easy to stage and FUN! This is a wonderful play that will showcase the best talent that often don't get a chance to shine. Read this, produced this!

The reading I heard of this play hit me hard. It starts off like a familiar conversation, but the message becomes so very clear and powerful. The final monologue is so strong! If you aren’t thinking about Second-Hand Spiral Ham for days after reading this, check your heart and read it again.

Oh this is a trip down memory lane, a mirror into society’s darkest shadows of consumerism and a Christmas miracle story all rolled into one! Lots of fun characters and opportunity for design in this piece, too! Add this to your collectible case of holiday plays!

Absolutely absurd and yet a little truthful! Expect the unexpected! Also, sometimes the odds will just be stacked against you. You can be prepared for your moment of glory and still it will clock you unawares!

Disarmingly wacky until it hits you in the feels. This will be so beautiful to stage!

This is such a great little mystery that had me relating a little bit too much with the victim! But the relationship between Bill and Pats is delightfully at an arms length, yet still so warm and layered. A blood covered, nostalgic holiday piece! Also reinforcing that porch piracy is a dangerous crime!

Oh. My. Gosh. This is the start of the holiday classic I've been waiting for! Finally! A Christmas play for the dark side! I love this story, the family history of Great(x7?) Gramma's recipe, the ambition of Holly and Felicia...the questionable ingredients! I would absolutely go see this story every December in lieu of the other holiday standards! Brilliant and naughty! Give me more! And pass the cookies!

I ADORE the cringe of this play! This is a powerhouse piece for young performers. I wish I was young enough to be in it...maybe if it were animated? But I digress. Absolutely hilarious with quick and snarky dialogue and delightful moments of physical comedy. Every role is a gem. This will be the talk of the school! In a good way!

This is a play about yearning. Yearning for something bigger than ourselves. For a connection to the world around us and beyond. There are so many fascinating thoughts shared here. It left me feeling enlightened. And a little hopeful. And a little yearning to travel by train.

Omigoodness! This play is so sweet, adorable and super meaningful! I love the characters and the message. Boyd's monologue about the bird really teared me up! But hearing it in the elf voice would be so great! This is a great piece to add to your holiday play lineup. For kids and adults alike!
