A short comedy that highlights the dark side of being a woman in the film industry. On camera or off! It's so hard to get work on camera, the fear of losing that spotlight is often all it takes to get someone to give in to pressure! I love that this is an all female cast, too! It heightens the comedy in a new and surprising way!

If you're looking for a competition length piece to feature six of your strongest teens, this may be the play for you! It is a lovely coming of age story, stifled by WWII and TB. The feeling that these girls are trapped in the sanatorium is clear, but we still witness them growing. A slice of history many teens may not be familiar with, but can definitely relate to!

Friendships destroyed by romantic partners is nothing new, but Molly and Janet's honest conversation about the life they had when they were young and who they are now is super relatable. How they try to mend old wounds with metaphors and memory is lovely. Check this out on the Theatrical Shenanigans podcast!

Those last lines hit hard after letting you ride through the over the top ridiculousness of this "medical" conversation. The message here is funny, harsh and clear. I love the skewering of the amount of money that goes into "awareness fundraisers" and how little it goes to actually helping those they are raising awareness for! Absolutely brilliant satire here.

I absolutely adore the message of this monologue. "With great power comes great responsibility." But also "guilt!" Just as you should never tell anyone you won a lottery, you should never let anyone know about your superpower, because then it will never be YOUR superpower/money anymore. EVERYONE will expect you to be there for them. This character's stress and guilt to "always be there" because technically they can, is so relatable. Really, the message I see is; "Time is fleeting. Don't give it all away. Save some time for yourself."

Very strong characters in this piece about messy people in an "old-fashioned" industry, in a swiftly changing world. These very different people are family, through blood or circumstance. And it is a powerful journey the audience gets to witness as they learn to accept the changes in the world and themselves.

This play starts off on such a sci-fi trajectory, but it miraculously (no pun intended) becomes incredibly spiritual as well. And I think this is exactly where we as humans fail to see eye to eye. Science and spirituality absolutely can and do come together in the same plane of existence. I love the connections and mysteries of this piece. There are so many wonderful ideals being depicted in this story with some very engaging characters.

Oh. My. Zeus! The puns come at you hard and fast in this wacky showbiz comedy from a reasonable facsimile of Ancient Rome. And you know you can't stop thinking about Ancient Rome, so why not laugh about it, too?! If you've ever read a Busser or a Norkin play, you know good, over the top comedy is where they shine. But now that they've put their talents together, get yourself some eclipse sunglasses! So much to love about this comedy!

Wow. This fast paced, comedically historical play will draw you in with its goofy game show beginning and hold you tight through the intense frustration of feminism and politics of the USA in the 1960s and earlier. But really, this isn't a play about feminism. I see it as a play about logic and great ideas being ignored or scoffed at because they aren't how "we always do things." The subject of this this play is just as important now as when it was being "conceived" in the 60s. This is a must see show!
