As witty as it is enjoyable, this play introduces Thomas Kent, a delightful invention of a character, engaged in a rather one-sided battle of wits with his prison guard, and proves once again that that the tongue is mightier than the sword. Hope this one sees a lot of productions.

A great short comedy starts with a great premise and this has that in spades. Enjoy!

On Queue is a wonderful piece of absurdist comedy that is laugh-out-loud funny on the page, and probably even better in performance. Hope it gets a lot of them!

A delicate, beautiful play that slowly unfolds as two women, separated by background and age, learn how much they have in common, and how they can help each other.

This taut, slow-burner of a play will keep you riveted until its last moments as the two characters slowly reveal their secrets to us and each other. It instantly creates an unmistakable sense of place as well. Highly recommended.

In this comedy, Alexander Graham Bell invents the first phone (sort of) and then so much more. A witty look at how history might have gone much differently had Watson been a little more assertive.

This play is a very witty pairing of a classical story with modern sensibilities. You'll never think of Zeus the same way. A smart play that deserves a lot of productions.

This charming play looks a long way forward into the brave new world hurtling towards us, a world that maybe isn't so far away after all. The tiny-theater production that I saw was both funny and surprisingly affecting. Read it!

Dolls and guys is a lot of absurdist fun. Who knew CPR could be so steamy? If you're looking for a comedy, read this one.

This short play seems to be about a man caring for his younger brother's mental illness and specifically his recurring and profoundly delusional state. It makes us ask ourselves how well we would carry such the older brother's burden and whether it is better to try to disabuse someone of a delusion, or inhabit it with him. And then it all turns on a dime and everything we thought we knew is thrown into question. Thought provoking and well done.
