A unique look at relationships and what we get out of them, as we follow people who sometimes aren’t quite right for one another and sometimes are exactly who they need. David Rigano’s incisive and witty banter is quick-paced and memorable and these six characters linger in the mind. It’d be wonderful to see this staged, especially to see audiences compare their thoughts on each pairing.

An intriguing and fantastic piece set in the rich world of a role-playing game; it plays with themes of imagination and companionship in our social lives in ways I have never seen written for the stage before. Not to title-drop, but OPUS really is an opus. PLUS THERE’S A FREAKING LIVING SKELETON. HOW COOL IS THAT? Highly recommended.

Matthew Weaver has, in the span of a single minute, made me forever invested in the relationship between two fairy tale characters impacted by quarantine. I bow to his genius, yet again. Brick and Bad forever!

A one-minute play that serves as quite the cautionary tale. The lead up to the stinger is a nail-biter and the ending is just... oh I don’t wanna spoil it! But it’s ever-relevant!

A delightful retro sci-fi throwback that takes familiar classic tropes and spins them on its head. Delightful teenage characters and a twisty plot featuring aliens, agents, and the ever-looming angst that comes with asking your dream date to the big dance. I loved it!

This clever short piece about the not-so-abominable daily lives of our most beloved furry cryptids left me grinning the whole time.

(Was that... a Beckett reference I spy? Was Godot a sasquatch the whole time?! Dang it, Weaver, I’m going to have that mental image in my head the rest of the day!)

Brave and funny and absolutely brilliant, with so many laugh out loud moments in just ten little minutes. A kinky and surprisingly loveable play that delivers on the premise of the title and then some.

An intriguing and enigmatic little monologue about the holiday season, our mental health, and the stories we tell ourselves to create our own little realities. A dark, delightful curio!

Starts out wholesome, quickly descends into gut-bustingly raunchy, dark, and twisted hilarity. Every child’s voice is unique, clear, and VERY funny. I loved this. I hope it becomes a holiday classic.

A kind and thoughtful one-act exploration of different young voices all across the autism spectrum, refreshingly presented as documentary theatre and theatre for young adult audiences (and all audiences, really.) There are some very excellent monologues about facets of autistic habit and life in this script I hope actors on the spectrum gravitate towards! Very nicely done.
