A truly lovely piece about grief, healing, and the indirect ways that are all we can sometimes manage when asking for help.

A haunting play about guilt and forgiveness, and especially about how we find a way to forgive ourselves. Sad and hopeful all at once.

Anyone who has ever been forced to watch a Hallmark Christmas movie against their will be laughing out loud throughout this witty send-up. And so will most people who count the days till the 2020 movies are released.

This is a quiet play with a powerful message about the need for forgiveness and how hard forgiving can be. It's also a play that wisely steers clear of sentiment and finds and ending that is as tentative and uncertain as it is true.

A riveting confrontation between a serial killer about to be executed and a reporter with secrets of his own, this play packs a great twist at the end that is as earned as sit is unexpected.

An astonishingly creepy (in the best sense of the word) play in which the tension builds and builds and builds. Two great roles for women.

This is a beautiful play about a beautiful place, and about hope for the planet that springs up in some people like saplings in the North Woods. Lovely.

Wonderfully absurdist piece that realizes the full comic potential of pubic lice, and it (they?) have a lot of potential. For anyone who ever had a bad break-up and went off the deep, deep end.

A quietly chilling story about banshees and the souls -- or one soul at least -- whom they terrorize. A metaphor about fate, luck and our uncertain place in an uncertain world. Perfect for Halloween, or any other time.

Misery may love company but in this play, company, in the form of Dennis and Rhoda, demands misery of Pru if she wants to remain their friend. A well wrought play that is funny until it's chilling.
