  • John Kelly: Sunshine Boy by Becky McLaughlin
    “

    A little play, of great power, about a big topic - the possible effects of rape on a young couple. Sad, worrying, thought provoking, and perhaps even a bit frightening. A wonderful play told superbly. Brava!

    A blissful bit of classic British balderdash. Wonderfully written, taking the audience on a wild and witty jaunt. Bravo!

  • John Kelly: Something Borrowed... by John Busser

    An intriguing tale of two women - sisters - who share... a great deal. Busser certainly has a gift for writing dialogue. The play moves crisply and strikingly to its unexpected conclusion. Most enjoyable.

    A wonderfully written, poignant look at some of the most difficult moments in life - for both Maggie and Carol. The choices available to each are bad, worse, worse yet, and inconceivable. Or are they? A touching and meaningful play.Whether you've gone through the loss of a loved one or not, this play will move you.

  • John Kelly: Dragged by Emily Hageman
    “

    A wonderful play - simple and straightforward, but anything but simplistic - dealing with adult themes of importance today. The play offers two female actors - one early middle-aged and one approaching senior status - wonderful acting challenges. This is a play to be seen and enjoyed. Brava!

  • John Kelly: Spots by Matthew Weaver
    “

    A bit of a change from Matthew Weaver - this play is more touching and serious than some of his other works. This in no way suggests it is anything but a solid, first-rate play. It is that and more. Weaver takes a well known Biblical tale and makes it an affecting, humane story - told by giraffes. Do give it a look!

  • John Kelly: PRACTICE HOUSE by Rachael Carnes
    “

    A truly fine play - historic, yet speaking directly to our time. Innovative and insightful. Make no mistake, however, this is a most challenging script requiring insightful and inspired direction. Actors will find much to challenge them as well. Advanced groups and professionals should cherish the opportunity to work on Carnes' PRACTICE HOUSE.

    A superb monologue for a young performer - male or female, it matters not. Touching, oh so real, and in the end, devastating. Brava!

    “

    Simple and sweet, straightforward. A lovely short about two almost sexy seniors. Do give this play a look. You won't be disappointed.

    A tiny but truly delightful tidbit. Simple but sublime. A wonderful work for two women "of some age."
