Aw cute!!!!!

This play is so cute! The dialogue is thrilling and very well-written, and the characters are beautiful! Claire's desire to believe makes you wonder about whether Ellie's story is fact or fiction. And, for the record, I am all for a girlboss Mrs. Claus!! "A Christmas Pickle" is a wonderful holiday short!

Dark and unraveling, this short piece looks at trauma during the holidays. Together, Sam and Alex uncover their dark pasts surrounding Christmastime. This play has the style of a Beckett-like absurdist piece.

They always tell you to "just keep swimming," but can you do that if you've forgotten how? Yes, because the water is full of freedom. Fantastical and powerful, "The First Whale" tells the true story of the whale's evolution, which goes beyond what the so-called experts say. Elle Thoni creates masterful dialogue and incredible imagery that really makes you sit back and think. This piece is a beautiful allegory for the queer experience. I would love to see it staged.

"I guess it’s true. The quickest way to a man’s heart is through the fourth and fifth ribs."

Sweet and silly, "The Big Sneeze" is a rom-com perfect for theatre people. Pam and Larry and Larry and Pam are adorable characters with the kind of light-hearted banter that makes you smile. Love it!

This play is so beautiful. The characters are really fleshed out with well-rounded dialogue. The language of this piece creates the loveliest imagery and the climax pulls at the heartstrings. By the end, I was sobbing. Well done!

Wow! That's silly-goofy! When a man from Jacksonville gets caught red-handed, he knows that he can at least gain Florida Man status from this experience. This short comedy is sure to give you a good laugh.

Realizing they are in a play, the protagonists take matters into their own hands in order to escape foreshadowed death. How very self-aware and clever! Vermillion packs a good laugh into this one minute piece that is so very enjoyable, especially for lovers of the theatre.

Behind every Big Bad Wolf is a Queenie to support the huffing and puffing and destruction of houses. What a silly-goofy piece! Spoofy, modern, and sweet, "Confessions of the Big Bad Wolf" is a comedy for all the ages. I love me a good fractured fairytale, so I absolutely enjoyed this play.

Oh my gosh! I was not expecting that! This play is dark comedy at its silliest. Both characters came across with very distinct voices in a situation perfect for sketch comedy.
