  • An Authentic Rembrandt by D. Lee Miller
    23 Nov. 2020
    “ Breathe. 'Feel the breath that gives us purpose in life' says Rembrandt when he comes to visit an Art Historian struggling to decide if a painting might possibly be his. This clever play explores what we've lost in gut instinct and inspiration (breathing!) while gaining in technology - and does it with humour, intelligence and insight. ”
  • Favorite Son by Philip Middleton Williams
    23 Nov. 2020
    “ Two middle-aged brothers tread carefully (and not so carefully) as they begin the process of confronting their parents' (and their own) mortality. The dialogue is very real and the audience learns much more about this family than is ever said. A moving moment in a journey we all have to take. ”
  • PASS THE AGGREVATION by Jack Levine
    19 Nov. 2020
    “ A short, sharp play that exemplifies "What we got here is a failure to communicate!" Well constructed, this frustrating and farcical family dinner is fresh and entertaining. ”
  • THE BET by Jack Levine
    19 Nov. 2020
    “ A delightful dark piece for actors with a Sleuth-like twist. Would make a great addition to a Noir-ish or mystery evening, perhaps with a follow up companion piece! ”
  • SUNSET AT SANTORINI (Drinks With New Friends) by Glenn Alterman
    19 Nov. 2020
    “ A double cross to delight in! A great set up with truly clever twists knock this one out of the park. Terrific fun for audience and actors alike. ”
  • Medical Records by Connie Schindewolf
    19 Nov. 2020
    “ This is a short play of real depth. One woman spends time in a waiting room
    with three of her younger selves who have all faced the toughest trials of womanhood.
    As they gradually become aware of their intersecting memories and challenges
    they also share wisdom and reassurance. Really well observed, gripping and moving. ”
  • Memory Card by Connie Schindewolf
    19 Nov. 2020
    “ Wonderful, original idea about a future in which dementia patients can temporarily regain their memories via a sim card. Two old friends discover the downside of the technology when they accidentally switch cards and learn a lot more than they want to about each other. A very clever comedy with strong roles for older actresses. Great fun. ”
  • Daydream by David Beardsley
    19 Nov. 2020
    “ A well-built comic sketch which manages to pack a lot of thought into a couple of minutes. Not only a gentle satire of our reliance on technology, a nice twist on technology's 'awareness' of us. ”
  • Shoelaces (10 minute play) by Elisabeth Giffin Speckman
    19 Nov. 2020
    “ What appears to be an innocent teen casually speculating on the motives of a man waiting in a train station turns quickly into something much darker. Her keen but obsessive mind pinpoints his vulnerability and exploits it. Effective, thought provoking and chilling. ”
  • Expectations by Jennifer O'Grady
    19 Nov. 2020
    “ Kate Dickens says the thing she liked least about her husband 's novels were the subservient, dewy-eyed heroines. She's remained subservient, but now, no longer dewy-eyed, has been cast aside for an actress who is. After nine children. Whom he kept. With the house. Kate's loneliness is excruciating and yet she doesn't rail against Charles. It is we the audience, who weep. Simply and perfectly done. ”
