Ah! I did not see that twist coming! SPLITTING THE CHECK is a fast-paced, very funny play by Paul Donnelly.

Obsessed. I am obsessed with Lisa Dellagiarino Feriend. COME AGAIN is so smart and funny and abrasive and I love everything about it. I can't imagine anyone having an opinion about climate change and a possible second coming of Jesus, right?! This play has a strong message and would be an absolute conversation starter with any theatre that produces it. So, please produce it, and let me know when you do!

TALES FROM THE HILL is a beautiful journey of several college students who interconnect in unexpected ways. The dialogue feels natural and real as we get a glimpse into these characters' lives and see how they grow and change. The plays work well individually or as a play cycle (it is actually more enhanced if read/performed as a play cycle). Great work to playwright Sam Heyman!

Holy sh*t!! UNKNOWN NUMBER is how you do horror. I'm not going to lie, I yelled at my Spotify for her to not open the door! The writing by Greg Mandryk is peak in this one. Absolutely give it a listen on Gather By The Ghost Light (kudos to Chris Plumridge as well).

FOR A LIMITED TIME ONLY (THE BREAD PLAY) is bizarre, funny, terrifying, bizarre, and brilliant...and also bizarre! Playwright Daniel Prillaman takes the readers/listeners/audience members on a truly epic journey. I feel this play would fit perfectly late night on Adult Swim. Check it out on the Gather By The Ghost Light podcast!

Beautiful and sincere, TREASURE is for anyone who has lost a loving pet. Thank you, John Busser, for sharing this heartfelt and difficult moment.

THE UNEXPECTED DELIGHT OF SNOW BIRDS is, dare I say, an unexpected delight of a play. It’s funny. It’s sad. It’s incredibly witty (my goodness, Claire is hilariously mean yet somehow endearing with her insults). The banter between these two is engaging and palpable. I always ALWAYS love reading Lisa Dellagiarino Feriend’s plays.

SEXILED is a beautiful and poignant two-hander with characters that feel real and layered. Sam Heyman has artfully crafted this unexpected moment between strangers.

MISSED DISCONNECTIONS is a super funny play about a meet-cute (or should I say meet-cutes?) gone horribly and hilariously awry. Samara Siskind gloriously utilizes the underutilized online forum known as "Missed Connections". I was lucky to see this one live with the Ludington Area Center for the Arts.

FOR RICHARD, FOR POORER is an immensely charming, sweet, and endearing play. I love the contrast between the two characters, and I love even more the love they have for each other. Great work to Steven G. Martin!
