I love the character names! But the message is also quite wonderful, Aldi and Oli lament about how difficult it is to maintain a sense of "loveliness" so that society will appreciate them. They wish things can change. But when young Deedee falls off the wall, they won't even lift a finger to assist her, for fear that it would impact their own appearance. Quite a statement about society and "women lifting up women" in a fun and quirky way.

Oh Doug. I can relate to wanting to escape from everything, yet cling to the one thing that brings comfort and joy. Doug takes it to the extreme and Lynn just can't relate. Doug puts everything on the line and shows all of his cards to Lynn. If only Lynn would listen beyond the hum of the generator in Doug's tunnel. This is a heartbreaker. An adorable and quirky heartbreaker.

Trevor! I adore Trevor! Love to see his true heart and sense of justice in this origin story for Trevor the vampire. I love how he takes everything in stride, but is truly good on the inside. He may be a creature of the night now, but he won't be a monster!

This is the perfect short spooky play for young performers. Atmospheric, not graphic, full of relatable characters and fun fear building. Students will love putting this play together!

The medical device in this play may be somewhat futuristic, but how the "business of medicine" operates is unfortunately very now. The U.S. really needs to consider circumstances like this play and realize how Americans health being a for profit industry creates a domino effect that can destroy us all. Hadley is actually helping others now that she has this medical device. But if she can no longer afford it, how many others will suffer without her?

This play starts out as the ultimate character study of rural Michigan and then suddenly it becomes a spiritual journey about the afterlife and faith. I love the world building here and the roles of the Szubinski Brothers are a great place to show off some stage combat and comic relief!

This play proves that disorganization in the planning of a short play festival can KILL! Even if it's a one minute play festival! But it also proves the spirit of the theatre makers who will make sure the show goes on no matter what. So really (and it always should be this way) it starts with the playwright. A cautionary tale to playwrights to not write a play that has elements that could destroy the world, because the right theatre WILL make it happen! The bear bit had me laughing so hard!!!

Film students would love to tackle the design elements of the fantasy world in this script. The scenes are short and fast making it a great piece to tackle for a student's tight shooting schedule. Very imaginative!

How can such INSANE parents still be so lovable?! I just adore how much they care a little TOO much about their son's happiness. And the fact that their son, though embarrassed, is honestly happy to have their support. This is play about love, masquerading as a horror/comedy! Absolutely brilliant details in the lists and supplies mom and dad bring. This play would slay as the ending to a short play festival!

I laughed out loud several times in this play! Trevor is a great character and I am glad to see Richter has given him plenty of plays to shine in. This one has a sweet twist with the ghost of Emily Dickinson giving him poetic food for thought about Trevor's murderous need for living blood. It's funny, touching and beautiful all at once! I adore Trevor!
