I love this!! We follow Eddie over the span of 26 years as he returns (and returns and returns) to play roles in A Christmas Carol. This play is a love letter to theater artists and hilarious - with some real moments of poignancy - from start to finish. What a gift for actors as well, as many of them are playing different people playing the same roles in each scene. I just adore this!

Ahhh this play! Such a beautiful study on fathers and sons and how the relationship shifts and changes over time. The setting is perfect, the monologues are gorgeous, and the dialogue achieves that difficult mix of poignancy and humor. I can't believe how rich the characters and the story are in only 18 pages.

I was on board with this play from the moment I saw Raccoon 1 and Raccoon 2 in the character list, and then it ended up being nothing like I expected! What a beautiful, poetic play that is weird in the best way.

The insanity!! I absolutely adored watching this Zoom interview get more and more unhinged as poor Melanie struggles to make a good impression, even as her prospective employers begin getting crazier and crazier. What a fun Zoom short! This one had me laughing hard.

This play tells the story of George Aigen's experiences as an American soldier in WWII in largely his own words with an ensemble of men floating in and out as minor characters and acting as a kind of Greek chorus. It is an engaging way to make history come alive and would be a fabulous gift for the actor playing George - To be able to show off your acting chops while carrying an important piece like this one is every actor's dream.

Whoa, Aly Kantor takes AI to places I hadn't even thought about and manages a whole emotional journey in only 17 pages which both takes you by surprise and feel entirely inevitable. So much is said so well in this short, creative piece about what makes us 'us.' This play is simultaneously completely unique and completely relatable. I love it!

This short is a behind the scenes look at the filming of "The Passion of the Christ" and the chaos created when cast and crew keep being struck by lightning. All three characters are kooky delights (though Mel Gibson is my favorite - I love a cartoon villain!) and I loved watching everything go off the rails no matter how hard Michelini tried to stop it.

Wow, I love this. This play kept going places I didn't expect in the best way. I love the dialogue, the characters, and the perfect blend of humor and pain. What a feat!

The language in this play about a single mother and her autistic son is gorgeous!! I love the messy relationships and the deep sea facts and how all the seemingly unrelated details sprinkled throughout come together at the end in ways surprising and wonderful.

I read a shorter version of this play last year, and I LOVE this expanded, full-length version! The characters are hilarious, even as two of them grapple with depression. What fun to see nightmare creatures (and one confused human) cheer each other up and on, even as they're in The Darkness, both literal and figurative. There is so much to love here, but I think my favorite moment is Brob's kid-scaring routine in Act 2. And to top it all off, it sticks a very poignant landing at the end.
