  • Hannah Lee DeFrates: The Santa Thing

    Wholesome, wide-eyed, really cute...These are the words I would use to describe this play. And despite Taylor's promise that her and Alyssa's holiday would not turn out like a Hallmark movie, there is a light dusting of Hallmark-y charm. The Santa Thing by Greg Lam is an adorable play about love, family, and steadfast belief. It will warm your heart on a cold, winter's day.

  • Hannah Lee DeFrates: Eggs Dance

    Men should not be allowed to make decisions about what happens to the eggs.
    A beautiful peace for female dancers with the power to make a statement about female agency.

  • Hannah Lee DeFrates: Adorable Kitten Image Collapse

    Rick has trolled the wrong gal! Adorable Kitten Image Collapse is so chaotic in all the most iconic ways. The characters, dialogue, and situation are hilarious. This play was a great read and I feel like it would be so fun to act in!

  • Hannah Lee DeFrates: Our House to Yours

    Gratitude, love, memories...these are the things that truly matter and the things that deserve to be in the family newsletter. Our House to Yours is a bittersweet, holiday play with a beautiful exchange between a wife and her husband.

  • Hannah Lee DeFrates: You've Got a Friend in Me

    You've Got a Friend in Me is incredibly wholesome, one of the purest monster stories I've seen in a while. I love it! Horowitz takes the idea of humans looking for cryptids and flips it around to give us the adorable story of the time that Mothman and Jersey Devil went on a walk to find the last Human. So cute!

  • Hannah Lee DeFrates: The Christmas Commercial Conspiracy

    What I wouldn't give to see Barney dancing to a metal rendition of "God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen." Philip Middleton Williams has written a silly-goofy piece perfect for the holidays.

  • Hannah Lee DeFrates: On Queue

    I've never thought about what a modern Waiting for Godot would look like, but now that I've seen this witty piece by Morey Norkin, I am convinced that On Queue is exactly what that would look like. The dialogue is snappy and clever, perfect for a spoof of Beckett's infamous comedy. I love the dichotomy between both men. You should absolutely read this piece; it'll leave you wondering if the Thing is going to start anytime soon...

  • Hannah Lee DeFrates: Once upon a Train (A One-Minute Play)

    If only Tom and Annie could verbalize the desires inside their heads. What a bittersweet little piece about the things that go unsaid.

  • Hannah Lee DeFrates: Idemo!

    Oh, poor Bruce! All he wants is a Batman birthday, and now he and Batman have something in common...a tragic backstory. How will Doug and Sue cover up their mistake, and what will the kids think? "Idemo!" is a silly-goofy farce that will both keep you on the edge of your seat and make you laugh.

  • Hannah Lee DeFrates: To Fetch a Pail of Water

    Imagine what the dispatcher is thinking when Jill calls about her husband who fell down a hill after failing to get...sorry, "fetch" a pail of water. Well, in Morey Norkin's cute comedy, we don't have to just imagine it, the dispatcher just might find the rhyme and reason. What a fun spin on the story of Jack and Jill!
    "To Fetch a Pail of Water" is a silly little short, fun for all audiences.
