I love that this short play deals with the children of a divorce and not the couple who did the divorcing. It does a fabulous job showing all the ways divorce is messy and hard to navigate for the kids involved - and yet it still manages to be very funny. It's both clever and very true to life.

This short play did not go at ALL where I thought it was going! What a fabulous satire about religion and traditions. I'm afraid if I say anything more, I'll give things away. This play is great. It has biting things to say about a lot of stuff, and I love it.

Politics ruining holiday gatherings is a tale as old as time, but it has rarely been as vitriolic as it is these days. I love that this play is about that, but not ONLY about that. The jokes are great and serve to make the dramatic moments even stronger, and the hunting of the turducken - an activity which everyone knows will not result in a captured bird, but which everyone does anyway - feels a lot like this moment in political time: Does anything we do matter? Well, we need to try.

This short comedy about a couple mishearing each other is very clever and never slows its pace. It reminds me of an old timey comedy routine in the best way. Tons of fun with language!

How does DC Cathro shred one's heart in ten minutes? What sorcery is this? This short play is a wonderful exploration of two parents' grief, and how differently they cope with it. It's a beautiful exploration of the grieving process, how everyone handles it differently, and how in real life nothing wraps up neatly with a bow.

In true Scott Sickles fashion, this one act packs a whole full length's worth of details into a deceptively short package. Every page counts, and the dialogue is so engaging, turning from serious to funny and back again. A lovely play about how our pasts are never far away, and how difficult it can be to open up to those who are important to us.

I love a romantic comedy centering older characters! This play - really more dramedy than straight comedy - centers five characters, all with such unique voices, and I loved watching them each grapple with the play's theme of relevance - be it in relation to a career, motherhood, the mark they're trying to leave on the world, etc. There's such a great use of physicality in here as well. This is a play you truly have to see performed to really get the fullest sense of it. Lovely!

This short is a dark delight! If there's one thing humans are good at, it's feeling anxious and spreading that anxiety to others. Ubel is such a cheery, carefree elf that - in true human fashion -it is a pleasure to watch them start to fall apart. Silly and satisfying!

Wow, wow, wow, this one act toggles between being funny, being darkly funny, and being straight up dark, and I am here for all of it. I love the centrality of the Willy Stargell autographed bat and all the ways consequences come home to roost - as well as the surprises! For a play that's only 31 pages, there sure were a lot of twists I didn't see coming.

This short is adorable! Adam Richter has somehow accomplished a tightwire act where we recognize Ebenezer Scrooge as the same man we meet in A Christmas Carol, but he's also made him believably younger and more of a sweet curmudgeon. Recognizable, but softer. Portraying Scrooge and Marley as men on the rise in business AND men in the closet worried about being found out and losing everything because of it is genius. I love this take on a well-known story!
