    Comedy with a nifty cosmic twist ... and another welcome gift to us from the endlessly inventive Morey Norkin. A play that makes you laugh, then causes you to contemplate the universe. Thank you, Morey!
  • Through Bonavia, or The Simple Truth
    5 Jul. 2023
    A boldly ambitious -- indeed, monumental! -- tour de force. Breathtaking in concept, delightfully lyrical in execution, it's a thoroughly stunning achievement overall. University theater programs -- and Shakespeare festivals nationwide -- please take note!

    An expansive and thoroughly engrossing play featuring vivid characters and crisp dialogue. Important, inventive, magical, and -- in the end -- life-affirming, it engages your heart and your soul as well as your mind. Would love to see this fully mounted on-stage!
  • Can You Hear Me Now?
    16 Jun. 2023
    The evolution of human communication, hilariously revealed to us in less than ten minutes! Another comedic gem from Morey Norkin. Priceless!
  • THE NAMES
    10 Jun. 2023
    A brilliantly-constructed drama about family, friendship, and the challenge of finding one's moral path amidst the chaos of war. There are multiple narrative threads here -- each fascinating in its own right -- and Paul Lewis has somehow managed to weave them all together to form this remarkable tapestry. Both thematically profound and theatrically spell-binding ... bravo!
  • The 19 1/2 Deaths of Dung Beetle-Man
    10 Jun. 2023
    Wow! An epic, roller-coaster battle between super-hero Dung Beetle-Man and his bullfrog arch-nemesis Amphibia! Wild and wacky and thoroughly electric, in every sense of the word. Thank you, Matthew Weaver!
  • The System
    9 Jun. 2023
    With its terse, razor-sharp dialogue, what's left unsaid in this one-act might be even more germane than what's said. THE SYSTEM may take only several minutes to read, but we're offered lots of meat on the bone here, with plenty to chew on afterwards.
  • When the Chaos Started
    9 Jun. 2023
    An extraordinarily powerful one-act, absolutely harrowing in its impact. Convincingly demonstrates how great writing can move us, both individually and collectively. Hope this stellar work is widely produced.
  • Working for Crumbs - A Dead Body Farce
    9 Jun. 2023
    A zany and uproarious stew seasoned with some delicious physical comedy. Directors, actors and audiences will love this, and so do I. Hope to see this on-stage very soon!
  • Crazy Quilts
    9 Jun. 2023
    A one-act based on a very clever premise, brilliantly executed ... and, believe me, I do mean "executed"!
    This tautly-written play is infused with sly humor and escalating tension, with an ending that is spot-on and ultra-satisfying on multiple levels. Brava!
