  • Abort: The Mission
    21 Dec. 2022
    ABORT: THE MISSION is a super timely and topical play. What's more, it's impeccably written by Lisa Dellagiarino Feriend! Each character has their own voice and personality (and, from an acting standpoint, would be very fun to play!). Best of all, this playwright has this uncanny ability to move with relative ease from peak comedy to sincere drama.
  • Mosque4Mosque
    18 Dec. 2022
    I was lucky enough to see a production of MOSQUE4MOSQUE with About Face Theatre. The play is full of beautifully written characters who are grounded in reality and tackles important - and sometimes heavy - subject matter. It's funny, serious, and all points in between. I look forward to reading and seeing more of work by Omer Abbas Salem.
  • Fork and Spoon (from the THE WRINKLE RANCH AND OTHER PLAYS ABOUT GROWING OLD collection)
    18 Dec. 2022
    FORK AND SPOON is a a very sweet and a VERY punny short play by Debra A. Cole. I came for the pancakes and stayed for the old man jokes!
  • Target Audience
    18 Dec. 2022
    Oy I felt this one! TARGET AUDIENCE is written with love by a playwright (Sam Heyman) on behalf of all playwrights. I'd relish the opportunity to see this performed live; I just need to travel to "Somewhere, USA"!
  • To the Class of Miskatonic University 2022
    18 Dec. 2022
    TO THE CLASS OF MISKATONIC UNIVERSITY 2022 is a hilarious homage to the master of cosmic horror, H.P. Lovecraft. Not only that, but it somehow fluidly parallels the horrors of reality as well. Great work to Christopher Soucy!
  • The Ultimate Christmas Question
    15 Dec. 2022
    THE ULTIMATE CHRISTMAS QUESTION is a spot-on conversation between two very fun characters with crisp and engaging dialogue and a hilarious conclusion, written by Rachel Feeny-Williams. Give it a listen on the Gather By The Ghostlight podcast! #TeamJeff #DieHardIsAChristmasMovie

    ...

    MINOR SPOILER: I'm so mad there was not a single mention of the greatest Christmas films of all time: The Lord of the Rings trilogy!
  • The Bear - Beginnings
    4 Dec. 2022
    THE BEAR-BEGINNINGS showcases Christopher Plumridge's immense talents! I was enthralled listening to this production with Gather By The Ghostlight, and it left me wanting to listen to/read the full Bear series.
  • Hilda's Diner
    4 Dec. 2022
    HILDA'S DINER is a powerful play. The story, the characters, and the dialogue are all top notch. Dana Hall has not only created some emotionally raw and tender moments, but she has this natural ability to keep readers on their toes with what comes next. Would love to see this as a staged production!
  • Space Laser, In Space!
    29 Nov. 2022
    Wow. I just went on a journey. I was immediately intrigued by the title, SPACE LASER, IN SPACE! Then, I started reading the play, and I was laughing out loud because it was funny and so deviously smart (to turn the idiotic anti-Semitic conspiracy theories on their heads). THEN, as I continued reading, I was absolutely hooked - feeling anxiety, sadness, and, to be honest, fear. Jillian Blevins does a fantastic job in crafting this play. I can't believe it was only 10-minutes long!
  • Off Center
    27 Nov. 2022
    OFF CENTER is a beautiful, heartfelt play by Jacquelyn Floyd-Priskorn. I was fortunate enough to listen to this performed with Gather by the Ghostlight. Highly recommend you give this one a listen!
