The puns, the jokes, the sci-fi humor - this be a crew I'd wish to join, matey! The craziness that is cats in space gives us lovely nonsense and some life lessons and pet education as well. This show would be tons of fun to explore and bring to life for young audiences. Someone tell me when the next episode is on and I'll make the lasagna, meow!

Maybe it's because going to an arts and crafts camp would be a childhood nightmare for me, but I adored all the mayhem that Camp Marigold has to offer, from crazy counselors to awkward new friendships to murder mystery vibes! With a blend of constant camp energy and heartwarming moments, this play would be tons of fun for young actors and adults alike. You'll love this play if you love crafting or if you hate crafting. Or if you like rhinos.

I couldn't resist this play from the title and the play gives all that it promises and more! I was laughing out loud through thoroughly entertaining exposition and stereotypes, while this fast-paced spoof invites the audience in on all the over-the-top dramatic storytelling.

Spectacular and dazzling, this circus story is filled with wild characters, hilarious physicality, and plenty of sparks for the imagination! Tons of fun for a large cast and younger actors, the play truly feels alive with energy in a few short pages. And even includes a little bit of a love-letter to the stagehands out there, as we know the show can't go on without them!

I fell in love with this play from the opening projections, bringing artwork to life for the audience, and the quick, magical and engaging interactions of the lovely characters! Through enchanting storytelling and witty exchanges, these two strong female characters give their own perspectives on loneliness, isolation, and the roles we are given in life. I adore many quotable lines in this play, but don't want to give all of it away here! Janine Sobeck Knighton excellently writes this period piece that speaks to the beauty and healing artistic endeavors brings to the soul. "You are creating worlds."

Entertaining and yet heart-wrenching, this play speaks to those who walk with depression and suicide ideation, whether personally or affecting your loved ones. The characters provide honest, clever, and authentic conversation, encouraging the audience to see truth and hope in very difficult topics. A lovely show carrying a beautiful message.

FOSSIL LADY gives us fiery dialogue exchanges and meaningful reflection as we are introduced to a fascinating woman of science, Mary Anning. Claudie Hass beautifully showcases Mary's intelligence and knowledge alongside her battle against the patriarchal society that excludes and demeans women in social context and scientific discovery. A lovely play with strong female characters, science, and faith that would be excellent in a variety of settings, including colleges and educational festivals.

A fabulous, futuristic adventure story that quickly sets the tone and the intrigue for the audience to be pulled into the world before them. With strong, diverse character voices, and a mix of poetic allegory, Byham gives us a clever piece of science fiction for contemplation today.

Written with lovely and distinct voices, the characters of Beatrix and Annie leap of the page to provide a highly engaging historical look at the work of a mycologist and the life of Victorian women in science. I was drawn into the story of Beatrix Potter, where we see her imagination lead her into pursuit of scientific discovery. "Drawing Under the Microscope" carries forward a message of persistence for it's modern audience: "Stand by your curiosity. I have no doubt it will lead you where you are meant to go."

Beware! For you are certain to fall in love with the ongoing humor and lyrical storytelling of this small-town tale. I'm so glad I couldn't resist a play with Dragon in the title - this play showcases plenty of fun characters for young actors and adults, as we follow Dotty, Mickey, and family in solving the great mystery of Lake Orion. Ahhhh!
