    A taut, surreal two-hander that's equal parts funny and frightening. A very clever premise, very cleverly executed. Brava, Lolly Ward!

    An absolutely remarkable tour-de-force, at once sad and sly, tragic and uplifting. Donald Loftus has somehow managed to take the strands of a strange-but-true story from a very specific time and very specific place and weave them into a stunning tapestry of universal truths and widespread appeal. Bravo!

    A multi-layered memory play of enormous power and insight, and an eye-opening depiction of how childhood trauma can irrevocably impact adult lives and future relationships across successive generations. A unique and courageous work of art ... bravo!

    A gripping, twisty thriller with progressively escalating suspense. The premise borders on the biblical, with two estranged brothers, each deeply flawed, engaged in a dangerous cat-and-mouse game. Best of all, the masterful craftsmanship of Donald Loftus keeps us on the edge of our seats (and guessing) to the very end. Bravo!

  • Rich Rubin: Honest Graft (Full-length) by Mark Saunders
    “

    A meticulously-researched (and highly entertaining!) drama with colorful characters, dazzling dialogue and a moral as relevant today as it was in the past. A true feast for actors and audience members alike ... bravo, Mark Saunders!

  • Rich Rubin: The Hanging Girl by Aleks Merilo
    “

    A brilliantly constructed and highly theatrical tour de force featuring escalating suspense and a jigsaw puzzle of surprises. Its large cast of young characters should make it especially appealing to university theater programs. Bravo and thank you, Aleks Merilo!

  • Rich Rubin: All's Well that Ends Sufficiently (Full-length) by Mark Saunders
    “

    A riotously funny comedy that is both historical (well, maybe) and hysterical (absolutely!).
    As much a treat for actors as a crowd-pleaser for audiences.
    Bravo, Mark Saunders!

  • Rich Rubin: DIVORCE HONEYMOON by Tim Boland
    “

    A very clever concept brought to hilarious, three-dimensional life. Combines farce with heartfelt truths to deliver a comedy with lots of meat on the bone. Bravo!

  • Rich Rubin: Schroedinger: Into the Quantumverse by Rand Higbee
    “

    A clever, artfully-constructed one-act that somehow manages -- at one and the same time -- to encapsulate psychological testing, explain quantum physics, and elicit laughs on every page. Great fun!
