A beautiful, poignant piece that ultimately asks how we move on after tragedy. Luckily for the audience, although the play asks weighty questions, it's never burdened by the heaviness of its themes. Instead, there is plenty of levity and light, and while SAVING ALL MY WORRIES FOR THAT DAY YOU DON'T NEED ME is short when it comes to runtime, it's long on emotion and heart.

This play is a nuanced journey through many more emotions and tonalities than anyone expects from a mere 10-minute play. I love that, while Wendy Vogel immediately establishes a well-drawn tension between her two characters, we ultimately see these women connecting with each other. And actors would love the opportunity to play either role!

We start out watching a grounded but knife-sharp satire, and by the end we're in a delightful land of heightened absurdity that crosses a medieval courtly fairy tale with some hilariously horrifying injuries. Which is to say, MOTHER'S DAY offers quite a ride during its ten minutes! So much fun for everyone watching--and creating--this show!

I love a play that makes me laugh while having real substance, and BIG FOOTPRINTS does exactly that. We laugh as these three characters' goals butt up against one another in hilarious fashion--but ultimately, the play offers a very sincere and necessary reminder about the importance of caring for our earth.

Think you know everything there is to know about Juliet? You do not. This charming and slightly demented 10-minute play presents a fun new perspective on one of theater's most well-known tragic characters, with plenty of Shakespearean easter eggs thrown in for added delight. No need to read it and weep; read it and chortle.

A subtle, elegant piece about the connections that are possible to find in even the most difficult circumstances. I love that this play shows women supporting other women, but without being saccharine or overwrought. Lovely!

This dark comedy looks at our collective addiction to our cell phones, taking the consequences of this addiction to its logical (and devastating) conclusion. But, at the same time, it's hilarious! The roles for these two actors are so meaty (given Ben's excellent monologues at the chicken processing plant, the pun is intended!), and the play manages to explore a very serious issue in an incredibly fun way,

I don't know another play with poetry like this; its language and style is absolutely unique and stunning. The father/daughter relationship is incredibly dimensional and nuanced, and it would be a dream for a creative design team and director to bring to life!

Pure fun, with lots of charm and tons of creative potential when it comes to how the production chooses to portray the animal characters. It's sure to delight actors and audiences alike!

This play is an absurdist riot! But at the same time, the characters and the conundrums they face are all too relatable in our pandemic-rocked world. Kate Mickere's memorable characters and delightful sense of humor are sure to entertain audiences while offering a new--but informed--perspective on vampire tropes. History has never been so fun!
