You guys, this play. The second line is, "I think I found a portal at the bottom of my rice," and you just know it's going to be a wild ten pages. A couple gets take out, discovers a portal which they figure out is a wormhole, and then you'll spend ten minutes going, "How is this going to end? How is this possibly going to end??" It's funny and sweet and strange - a winning trifecta!

Ooooh "Devil Land" is great! A couple kidnaps a clairvoyant tween and keep her in the boiler room of an apartment building, pretending to be a family. The kidnapped girl tells them that her friend, the Grinch, keeps her company and hangs out in the boiler, which the kidnappers find unnerving. There's so much more to the story, but I don't want to give anything away. I loved piecing things together as I read and seeing how everything came together in the end. If you're in the mood for something equal parts spiritual and creepy, this is it.

"Free Will" is a DELIGHT. So smart and funny. I was on board from the very first chunk of stage directions saying that Will (newly-deceased) enters with a big elephant footprint on his chest. A+, so good. I would love to see this one live. If you have ten spare minutes (and you do, you're quarantining) you should absolutely read this play.

Oh my gosh, this play reads like poetry! Claudia (aka Mrs. Pontius Pilate) blames herself for the death of Jesus as she reflects back on the events in her life that led to this moment and the storm inside her that she's always trying to keep at bay. A very interesting take on the life of a minor player from a well-known story!

"Stupid Ghost" is great. Our narrator ghost teaches us a little about ghosts and assures us that ghosts would never hurt us and don't follow people - but then our narrator meets a very pretty girl. And her very pretty boyfriend. And, well... The dialogue in this play is hilarious and the whole thing is fast-paced and pure entertainment. Weird and wonderful.

This play is terrific. The dialogue moves along at a clip as two best friends get ready to work on a group project together. It starts out light and fun and slowly becomes more and more uncomfortable. I would love to hear an audience react to this one live. Such a great piece!

This play is great. Isolation leads to boredom leads to jealously leads to desperation - and it's funny! There's a lot to unpack in this 10 minute play. You should definitely read it.

When I saw this title, I thought to myself, 'I bet that play's funny.' And, you guys, it IS. It's very funny. The theater program at the John Wilkes Booth High School for the Performing Arts (which only does math-related shows) is at risk of being dissolved because theater is offensive (and because they're running out of math-related shows.) Can the drama kids save the program and prevent the drama teacher from being forced to teach only driver's ed (something she's very good at, but not passionate for)? This play is a delightful ride.

I love this play. We catch up with the kids from "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" fifteen years later and see how the experience has shaped and changed them. The characters are fantastic, the dialogue is sharp, and the jokes are perfect. I didn't want it to end. I especially loved that each character got a moment of poignant reflection, even in the midst of the hilarity. You feel for all of them, even as you're laughing.

This one act is great! Aunt Zelda has died, and when her niece and nephew (and nephew's girlfriend - it's a mini vacation, after all!) arrive to clear out her house and settle her estate, they discover a stolen de Kooning in her bedroom. What to do? There's great physical comedy and every character has something fun to do. It would be hilarious on stage!
