  • Rich Rubin: Can You Hear Me Now?

    The evolution of human communication, hilariously revealed to us in less than ten minutes! Another comedic gem from Morey Norkin. Priceless!

  • Rich Rubin: THE NAMES

    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!

  • Rich Rubin: The 19 1/2 Deaths of Dung Beetle-Man

    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!

  • Rich Rubin: The System

    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.

  • Rich Rubin: When the Chaos Started

    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.

  • Rich Rubin: Working for Crumbs - A Dead Body Farce

    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!

  • Rich Rubin: Crazy Quilts

    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!

  • Rich Rubin: The Usual Unusual

    An incisive portrayal of community, friendship, and the multi-layered complexity of our closest personal relationships, told with humor, compassion, and genuine respect for all of its characters. Thoroughly absorbing first page to last. Bravo!

  • Rich Rubin: Grief at High Tide

    A powerful and haunting drama about a young photographer's attempts to reconcile her ambition and artistic sensibility with the deeply-held wishes of the person she is closest to. Masterfully constructed with no wasted words, this is a play that stays with you long after its conclusion.

  • Rich Rubin: When in Rome

    The incomparable Morey Norkin hits it out of the park once again with still another laugh-out-loud comedy, packed with clever puns, hilariously-named characters, and pitch-perfect dialogue. What a wonderful start to the day ... thank you, Morey!
