Rice writes a sweet, comical, and touching play with DEJA VU ALL OVER AGAIN. These two characters have a fun and unique chemistry that builds up to a satisfying conclusion.

Plumridge's THE BEAR is a monologue that is a force of nature. There is so much depth within this short piece and it makes for an engaging night of theatre. It's wildly creative and holds so much depth to not just the past and the present, but also, what's to come.

Donnelly evokes so much emotion within this devasting play. MEMORIAL DAY is a heart-wrenching drama that is supported by well-crafted dialogue, and three-dimensional characters. It is embroidered with so much emotional depth that it will hopefully mark not just a change in the audience, but the world in which we live.

Byham's SOUTHLAKE is a chilling drama with great emotional stakes. Byham does wonders with the creative concept, weaving in trauma and the beginning of a new family. SOUTHLAKE is full of well-crafted dialogue, great characters, and an even greater story.

Norkin's LAST LAUGH is a pure delight! It's genuinely engaging and funny. There is a nice amount of heart that weaves this story together beautifully. I love the format that Norkin uses, it's really clever and unique which to me always makes for great theatre. I would love to see this staged!

Someone tell me when Moughon gets to write a horror film because I'll be there! THE HAND is a swift comedic horror that would make Kevin Williamson proud! Cannot wait to dig into more of Moughon's works!

I’m speechless…Moughon writes a frightening horror that captures your attention from the very beginning. SIMON SAYS is well crafted that features snappy dialogue and Moughon is able to craft this story and world in very little time. I’m not over exaggerating when I say that SIMON SAYS is simply one of the greatest one acts I’ve ever read.

BLOOD PACT is a chilling short horror that is beautifully crafted. Cole doesn't give anything away too early which is a downfall for a lot of horror pieces. Cole masterfully builds this relationship so well that I can see there is so much thought that was put into these characters and the circumstance they're in. However, it's so casual and the dialogue is quick which gives this piece great pacing. The ending is a great surprise and is wrapped up wonderfully! Loved it, Deb!

Bhattacharya's PHOTO FINISH is a chilling and fresh thriller. Bhattacharya creates a really clever premise and the payoff is well-earned. Great moments of dialogue drive the story in an unexpected direction.

Feeny-Williams does an excellent job crafting this world and these characters in this cabaret-type world.
It's a unique comedy in the best way possible. It's not what you expect it to be and these characters come to life so quickly and they have so much purpose that it brings out the laughs in a truly innovative way.
