  • The Window by Tristen Canfield
    26 Feb. 2022
    “ It's arch, it's perceptive, and it's great fun, too. We may not be as nihilistic as the Cat or as gullible as the Fish, but their clearcut and opposing philosophies overlap in our own daily thoughts, making us smile in recognition as they explore the unlikely possibility that they may actually be friends. ”
  • The Men in the Mirror by Ken Preuss
    26 Feb. 2022
    “ A quirky piece about attraction and imagination. Two women collaborate to discover how to follow their hearts in a creative and intuitive way. Lots of fun and kind of sexy.

  • Taking Sum Lumps by Ken Preuss
    26 Feb. 2022
    “ Painfully funny, excruciatingly clever, my toes stayed curled up the whole time at the collision of optimism and disaster. A great idea perfectly delivered. ”
  • THE DRIVING TEST by Scott Mullen
    26 Feb. 2022
    “ A comic test of angst and empathy as Alice tries to re-invent her life and finally get her license without parallel parking. Her examiner gives such minimal responses the result could go either way, adding to the tension and delivering a very satisfying ride. ”
  • A Complicated Hope by John Mabey
    17 Feb. 2022
    “ A razor sharp play about loss which refuses to grieve. Instead it celebrates the truth that 'caring' and 'loving' overlap constantly and are integral parts of 'families' however they are imagined. The characters are warm and true and the flow of scenes is so finely crafted that the perceptive dialogue manages to cut and heal at the same time. A really fine piece. ”
  • FALLING IN TIME by Charles Scott Jones
    20 Jan. 2022
    “ The wit and playful intelligence of this piece are a delight. It's about hope and 'grounding' and chance and physics and biology and wonder all at once, and keeps the audience in a state of anticipation and curiosity - while smiling all the while. ”

    “ I was deeply moved by the framing of this piece as much as the emotional content. The evocation of the rebuilding of the Acropolis after its destruction and a period of mourning gently segues into the laughter of children. The monologue has the structure and impact of a well-crafted poem, and that really worked for me. ”
  • Last Rites by Guy Newsham
    8 Jan. 2022
    “ A lot can happen in thirty minutes, especially if it's your last thirty on earth. Two men, a priest and a condemned man, take a chance on exposing truths they've been hiding from everyone including themselves. Both gain last minute insight while the tension mounts and the doorway to a kind of wisdom (and a kind of peace) does inch open. But in the end it's only to confirm that the only kind of peace and wisdom humans ever get is Partial. And that in itself is satisfying and right. ”
  • Places (one-act version) by Andrew Martineau
    20 Jul. 2021
    “ This piece starts with a fizz and keeps on fizzing. The dialogue is brisk and natural while the premise is delightfully absurd - somehow an entire school is caught up in a cross between the Truman Show and a Twilight Zone episode. There is a strong moral thrust, too, though it's never really clear what interactions are real, and it doesn't matter. Just relax and enjoy. Really intriguing. ”
  • AVALON WAVES by Charles Scott Jones
    11 Jun. 2021
    “ A delightful salute to "Private Lives" but entirely worthy in its own right (write!). The dialogue sparkles and the intriguing characters perform a fascinating pas de deux, delivering many smiles for the audience along the way. ”
