  • Lisa Dellagiarino Feriend: Pete & Petria's Petrifying Podcast

    What a fun and spooky ride! I enjoy how this radio play keeps you guessing and reevaluating what’s real and what’s just an urban legend, right up to the end. This is a perfect play for Halloween, sleepovers, or any time you’re in the mood for something spooky.

  • Lisa Dellagiarino Feriend: The Curious Tale of Marston Moore's Untimely Demise

    I am here for the journey this short goes on. Marston Moore is dead, but can't remember how he died, so St. Peter helps him think back to the last bits of his life that he can remember, and... well, he had a very full last day. And then God shows up, and it's perfect. I enjoyed the back and forths, the escalation, and the revelation of who/what God is especially. What a fun piece, with some poignant bits as well!

  • Lisa Dellagiarino Feriend: The Book of Merman: A Musical

    I saw this at the Skokie Theatre. What a fabulous vehicle for three musical theater performers, especially the woman who gets to play Ethel Merman. Every song feels like a big Broadway number. I especially loved the song filled with Mormon profanity. What a fun night of theater!

  • Lisa Dellagiarino Feriend: Layers, or "The Casserole Play"

    This is a fantastic fever dream of a play, a wild ride from start to finish - and the fact that it’s about the invention of the casserole makes the feat all the more remarkable! This would be an evening of pure joy at the theater. I love this.

  • Lisa Dellagiarino Feriend: The Unusual Tale of Mary and Joseph's Baby (Musical)

    Oh my gosh, this is so good. I want to read the rest of it - or, better yet, see a production. What a fabulous, humanizing take on the Biblical characters.

  • Lisa Dellagiarino Feriend: delicacy of a puffin heart

    This play is gorgeous. It shifts seamlessly back and forth in time as we follow these five women, and the dialogue is poetry. Just beautiful.

  • Lisa Dellagiarino Feriend: King James Version 2.0

    This is so much fun. Three witches are sent to swap out King James's version of the Bible with his Daemonologie, so that can be passed down through the centuries instead, and hilarity ensues. It's King James's court through a queer lens, with angels and witches and an alien abduction. I loved the humor (the knock knock joke was a favorite) and the constant wondering of what on earth was going to happen next. What a wild ride.

  • Lisa Dellagiarino Feriend: The Remote (a ten minute play)

    So clever! A couple is possessed by their tv remote in this short and come to realize that they’ve grown remote from each other. It’s a sweet, imaginative play about two people finding their way back to each other and a great representation of how we tend to fill our lives up with noise. Plus it would be a blast to perform.

  • Lisa Dellagiarino Feriend: Awesome Possum

    I saw this short play as part of Eclectic Full Contact Theatre’s Patchwork Play Festival, and I loved how information gets portioned out to you slowly over the course of ten minutes as you try to piece things together, and by the end, the final picture you have of what’s going on is sad and sweet and ultimately uplifting. What a creative play.

  • Lisa Dellagiarino Feriend: WEIRD GIRL SUMMER

    There is so much in this short play that I had no idea how it was going to all wrap up in only 10 minutes! Marlowe has been kicked out, Nellie wants to kill her sister’s boyfriend, Nellie is convinced that her fan fiction is about to become canon in tonight’s episode… What a great vehicle for two young actors. It will make you feel everything!
