This play is so messed up in all the best ways. In this gruesome dark comedy, Daniel Prillaman does what he does best and brings us a witty play with disturbing imagery and a wild, twisted plot. Watch Kenny sob in pain as Ash and Gaelen sort out their relationship drama and rekindle their raw, bloody passion for each other. I would love to see this piece staged.

"Don't ever turn down the glitter wig."
What a silly-goofy show!

"And they’ll write great love stories about us, like Greek myths that school kids
have to learn and be tested on, and if they get it wrong they won’t ever be able to get into
a good college. And I think that’s beautiful."
A wild glimpse into Lindsey's mind, this play is full of twists and turns. This would be so much fun for a solo actor to perform!

An interesting play that explores what would happen if Death met Freud, "Psychoanalysis and Its Discontents" by David Guaspari is an intellectually funny one act.

"Disavow," by Collin Van Son is a fast-paced comedy with well-crafted dialogue. A clever spoof on the secret agent genre, John and Marge's exchange pokes fun at all things James Bond-esque. This is a fun little play that would be oh, so entertaining to watch.

These are not your grandmother's fairy tales! "Fable Group" is an interesting look at fairy tale characters and the traumas they faced from growing up in a fairy tale. In this dark comedy, Martineau shows us that sometimes ever after isn't happy.

The way my jaw dropped when I read the end of the play...
The plot thickens in Joe Swenson's newest addition to the Fragile Mind series. New fragments of world-building are skillfully knit into the unravelling narrative of Tammy Braden. One could even say the series' shadowy lore sneaks up behind you and taps you on the shoulder. With the arrival of Brian, patterns are found and the allegiances of the characters are tested and revealed. I hope there will be more, because I can't get enough of this uncanny world Joe has created! Applause applause applause!

Oh my! How surreal to see Tammy's regression in memory loss. And Brian! I'm so curious to know more about him. The complicated emotions between all the characters are fascinating, while at the same time, we are given more clues to what is going on in the thrilling world of the play. I don't think I will ever get tired of Tammy's story. I hope there will be more additions to the Fragile Minds series, because it's so good and I love it! Claps for Joe Swenson!

I have been waiting for this play to be up and it exceeded expectations! In this new glimpse into Tammy's fate, Joe Swenson has created a twisted workplace scenario. With the exchanges between coworkers, "Workplace Stressors" almost feels like a mocumentary sitcom gone wrong. I loved the chance to see the exchanges between the rehabilitation aids from "Press the Red Button," because this is the first time we really see their opinions on the situation. They're all playing parts, pawns leading pawns under the direction of an unknown entity. Well done. Well done.

What a terrifying trip! This is the kind of theatre that I am interested in. What starts out as a pretty normal conversation between a mother and her adult daughter slowly descends into surreal cult behavior. With uncanny dialogue, a fantastic build, and descriptions that would tickle the creative bone of a designer, "Return to Mother's Nest" is a cult play that will give you the 'creepy crawlies.'
