  • Women of a Certain Age by Steve Duprey
    28 Mar. 2024
    “ So many heartfelt thoughts here - the longing to take ultimate responsibility for one other (small) person - the needing to be needed - the warm and relatable dialogue on the required energy and sacrifices of motherhood. It's all there. And the TV dating game is a hoot. Lovely, charming and uplifting. ”
  • A PAIN by Paul Smith
    28 Mar. 2024
    “ A wonderful, rambling pity party of a monologue interspersed with modern celebrity rhyming slang as a running gag. The actor listening to this self serving rant will have as much to do as the actor ranting, and in the end we find out why, and it's a hoot. ”
  • Something is Rotting on the Stage of Glenmark by Ken Preuss
    26 Mar. 2024
    “ A jaded and student-weary drama professor struggles through a hopeless Hamlet hopeful's endless audition. Each relentlessly pursues their objective with hysterically obstinate energy and wit, ending with a truly clever resolve. Laugh out loud funny stuff. ”
  • The Waiting Room by Ken Preuss
    26 Mar. 2024
    “ "There is a destiny that shapes our ends..." and in this clever piece our daily destiny is literally in the hands of a pair of whimsical employees (of some unnamed organization) who can arbitrarily give us "the go ahead" (or not) as we struggle with frustration, delay and anticipation in the game of life. It's entertaining, well thought out, original and satisfying. ”
  • Ghost Bicycle by Sean Abley
    17 Mar. 2024
    “ Wow. Intriguing, creepy and gripping. I loved the structure and the replays of alternate ways of looking at events. And the depiction of the shell-shock of grief, with all its intensity, ambiguity and confusion
    becomes the perfect set up for the clever plot reveals as they begin to peel off in surprising and fascinating layers. Hugely enjoyable and well-crafted.

  • Black Widows, a full length play by Susan Middaugh
    12 Mar. 2024
    “ A quirky, clever piece with wise dialogue and great characters. The staging is imaginative and the storytelling intriguing. I love that it's based on a true story, one that is both startling and inherently dramatic. Very well done. ”
  • Conversations by Rachel Feeny-Williams
    12 Mar. 2024
    “ A darkly comic, inventive and terrifically visual piece. You feel frustrated for, and sympathetic to the normal, lonely, sane young people just trying to make a connection while being bullied by the latest popular tropes of how they should behave. The chatbots are intimidating, nasty, and all too believable. A great warning and a great ride. ”
  • Hiking by Claudia Haas
    8 Dec. 2023
    “ Such a tender and perceptive way for the two young women to share their trauma not just with each other but with us as an audience. This short piece gave me chills, and made me feel both hopeful and helpless in equal measure. I'm lucky enough not to understand or identify with the desire to self-harm, but I'm grateful for such a sensitive visit with someone who does. Upsetting and important. ”
  • SO NOT CHRISTMASY CHRISTMAS by Marj O'Neill-Butler
    8 Dec. 2023
    “ Living in the tropics, I tend to agree that tinsel can look pretty tacky on palm trees and I absolutely relate to the pain of doing without treasured traditions recalled from growing up in the north. This short play is a sympathetic examination of the whole dilemma of place and memory and adapting to change, with a lot of gentle wisdom woven in. Above all, it reinforces the bottom line...love can wrestle almost any sort of conflict to, at the very least, a tie - and, in this case, a bow. ”
  • THE DATING POOL, a one-act play for 5 women plus optional additional characters by Arianna Rose
    31 Mar. 2023
    “ I just had the pleasure of watching Theatre Three's production of the play on Youtube. It's a fresh and delightful piece in which a 60 year old widow conjures, warns and counsels four of her younger selves on the not-so-great choices they are about to make (choices that she herself did make) in her romantic past. The collision of their comparative innocence with her own humorous self-awareness might just give her the courage to get back in the "dating pool." Maybe it's not so bad to be "sadder-but-wiser." And it's great fun. ”
