A beautifully written dialogue that captures the heart and the mind. In this imagined conversation between two historical figures in a familiar room, Tennant provides space for us to consider war, childhood, family, and growing up. Real and riveting, this version of Christopher Robin is certain to move the hearts of all audiences.

With excellent world-building, Kniess gives us a futuristic, dystopian-like setting where the government matches couples for arranged marriages to the benefit of society. With two diverse, but lovable characters, we glimpse the struggle of finding honest relationships, the power of love in the world, and people who inspire us.

I had a fabulous time seeing this show several years ago at Renaissance Theatreworks. JUNIPER FLIES is a charming show for young audiences demonstrating the power of persistence and innovation.

GOLD PAINT is a beautiful blend of humor, historical perspective, and reflections of the changing landscape of American culture. Norkin writes a highly entertaining social commentary with loveable characters and excellent dialogue while poising big questions that still resonant to the turbulence of recent years. "Am I a loyal American? What does that even mean?" A lovely story of hope for today.

Chaotic and chilling, this captivating presentation brings to the audience overwhelming emotions, overlapping perspectives, and the need to direct attention to social concerns, like homelessness and mental health in our communities. Lyrical and riveting, Carnes shares devastating truths about living with these realities while giving us a call to action. "You may be their only advocate."

Clever and reflective, WISHING ON SATELLITES plays with the roles of technology in our lives and our own relationship connections. Amidst humorous exchanges between a woman and a drone, Kingston leaves us with words of wisdom for contemplation of our reliance on technology and our personal growth.

LOBSTER SPECIAL takes us from the comedic restaurant struggles to science fiction surprises. "It’s a good deal at 12.99." And it is an excellent time from start to finish.

I had the opportunity to attend a staged reading of BOO recently and I was laughing during every scene. BOO brings the paranormal vibes to life with humor, hijinks, and enough spooky thrills to keep the audience a little on edge as to what happens next. Strasse crafts this play with excellent characters and touching scenes, all while leading us through a well envisioned haunted house. Recommended for Boo-lievers and skeptics alike!

Within the realities of dementia, Ollett gives the audience a sweet, lyrical, humorous piece from her own work with patients. Fun, yet heartbreaking, this is a beautiful story to introduce the audience to the role of clown doctors in nursing home care. Therapeutic clowning offers creative expression and connection to those with advancing dementia and shares an important message for care. "Psychedelic man. No drugs then. Plenty now."

A beautiful tribute to two women who changed history and continue to inspire generations. JOY RIDE mixes historical accuracy with the fanciful, taking the audience on a beautiful journey through time and possibilities. Rose's exceptional writing carries us to the skies - "I wish every woman could experience this."
