    I was lucky enough to see this utterly charming play about ice fishing and a unique marriage proposal. You can feel the coziness!

    I saw a wonderful production of this play, which is so much fun! Great concept (a full-metal jacket drill instructor for the Christmas weary) and great execution. Festivals, don’t make the Baby Jesus cry! Grab Christmas by the ornaments and produce this play!

    This is an utterly charming, whimsical piece full of sharp dialogue about what we need to make it through some days. I only wish the service actually existed.

  • James McLindon: All Things Considered, It Was Probably the Most Productive Meeting The Escondido Unified School District PTA Ever Had by A.J. Ditty

    A brilliantly funny absurdist take on the pandemic at its height (or depth) in the context of a Zoom PTA meeting. Great stuff!

  • James McLindon: Filing In The Gaps by Ken Green
    “

    This play about long-lost relatives finding each other through DNA testing is more than compelling initially, but the profound turn it takes 2/3 of the way in (that I won't spoil for you here) sets it apart. A great read and well worth a production.

  • James McLindon: DIS/CONNECT - a 10 minute play by Sage Martin
    “

    This piece is quirky, and sad, and hopeful, and then not, and utterly, always honest. A story you haven't heard before.

  • James McLindon: LIKE IVY by Tori Rice

    The unexpected twists keep you off balance in a a good way, while the sure dialogue drives the story forward to its surprising conclusion. Unique.

  • James McLindon: Expectations by Jennifer O'Grady
    “

    A quietly powerful play whose alternating speeches by Charles Dickens and his wife, Kate Dickens, captures structurally his unwillingness to acknowledge his betrayal of her.
