  • Forgotten Falls - Full Length Thriller
    25 Jan. 2021
    Two sisters decide to kill the abusive husband of their third sister, but nothing is as clear cut as it seems. What I thought was going to be essentially a theatrical version of "Goodbye Earl" (which would have been plenty enjoyable) ended up being way more complex. My allegiance bounced from one character to another as the play unfolded, with surprises revealed right up until the end.
  • Night Shift
    25 Jan. 2021
    Oooooh this play is great. It sucks you in and has you wondering what is real and what is in Celine's mind. So, so well done! Gabriella Bonamici packs a whole lot into only 48 pages and keeps you guessing. I loved it!
  • Some Guy Masturbated In The Ocean
    23 Jan. 2021
    I read this one for the title, and oh boy did it deliver. Such quick, sharp dialogue, and so many twists and turns. It was a crazy ride. I will definitely be checking out more of Max Mondi's work!
  • I WILL NEVER PLAY HAMLET
    23 Jan. 2021
    What a beautiful monologue about art and aging and letting go of dreams. It’s bittersweet and a fantastic opportunity for an older actor. Lovely work!

    Well, this is delightful. Even Satan has an inbox full of rejections from theater companies. John Mabey has written a fun one page play that had me giggling.
  • Almost Pregnant
    21 Jan. 2021
    What a gorgeous, heartbreaking play. "Almost Pregnant" is one woman's tale of her struggle with infertility, told with the assistance of two puppets and a violinist, and it is GREAT. It perfectly captures the difficulties and dehumanization women who have trouble conceiving face, and it was a much-needed reminder for me that many women out there would give anything to be able to complain about having to quarantine with two young children. I will be giving my kids extra big hugs in the morning for sure. You should definitely read this play.
  • Playing With Fired
    20 Jan. 2021
    "Playing with Fired" is too much fun. I loved it from start to finish, and every twist along the way was perfect. It deserves all the honors it has received, and more.
  • Noir Hamlet
    20 Jan. 2021
    "Noir Hamlet" is delightful! It's exactly what its title implies, and it could not be more well done. It's clever and fun and very silly at times. I would love to see it live, especially that final showdown. I enjoyed every last one of John Minigan's words (Words? Words.)
  • THE 13TH CRIME
    19 Jan. 2021
    This play is a HOOT. Saint Nicholas and Father Christmas had me giggling before Santa Claus even showed up. What a fun, imaginative piece! I would love, love, love to see this one in an evening of short plays, Christmastime or not.
  • All Grace
    19 Jan. 2021
    Wow, what a great play this is! It weaves together art and inspiration and identity and faith into this gorgeous, engaging story about the creation of a church in the French Alps during the 1940s filled - much to the pope's chagrin - with religious imagery created by modern artists. I loved both the play and the results of the Google image search I just completed, looking at photos of the church and the artwork that Chris Leyva brought to life so vividly in "All Grace." Sooo good!
