Giving a makeover to Barbie's dreamhouse through the power of crafting? Terry sounds like the kind of person I would've played with when I was a kid. Blame it on Barbie is a nice comedy that is so important for people going into the arts and their families.

Now it all makes sense!
This Christmas eve, Santa and a father face off in a debate about the magic of the holidays. This piece is both silly and sweet and perfect for the holiday season!

With poetic text and metaphor, Intentional Drowning is a piece everyone needs to see right now. In a way, this chorus represents all of us as it warns the catastrophe that we are wading into, the catastrophe that threatens to drown us all if we don't take action against climate change. Spellbinding, powerful, important, well done.

I've heard of the phobia of being watched by a duck, but the fear of being hunted by a goose is something new. In his skilled fashion, Prillaman delivers us another spooky comedy thriller. This play will have you on the edge of your seat as the goose conspiracy unravels. You'll never look at a goose the same way again!

Awwwwwww! This play is so adorable! Sweet, festive, light-hearted, and a little melancholy, Deck The Mall is a holiday adventure you don't want to miss.

Giddy-up! What starts out as an innocent holiday play about a family Hanukah, soon takes a turn to the unexpected. This play is a shocking comedy full of Hanukah fun, family togetherness, and kinks that the Bartlebaums don't shame.

Reminiscent of noh theatre, A Night on the Bridge is chock full of poetry, flowing like the river. In this beautiful play, John Medlin's Man and Woman make an important statement on life and loneliness and the patriarchy.

Love. That is what remains at the end of the day.
What a beautiful piece by Scott Sickles. With the lovely portrayal of Death and Michael, Sickles lets us in on the first ever chess game to lose. The embrace of Death may be cold, but this piece reminds us that the warmth of love will stay.

She's Totally Killing It is a fun spin on the final girl trope. With its pace and clever monologuing, it almost feels like a rap solo, spitting bars at a moment of truth. Read if you dare...Mwahahaha!

A CHRISTMAS CAROL begins with a death, but I have always wondered what things were like when Marley was alive. Richter's spin on the story reveals that Scrooge and Marley were partners in more ways than one. In this charming play, we get a miserly love story and an origin tale with the detail of the ghostly chain that only Marley can hear. "JACOB AND EBENEZER" is the prequel I never knew I needed. It is worthy of being called a Christmas classic, as beautiful as the source material. I want to see Richter's prequel performed every holiday season.
