Husbands and wives sometimes find trouble getting on the same page. What happens when that wrong page involves sharks, pirates and sea shanties? Garrett W. Martin's short play, "Halloween Party" illustrates why sometimes it's best to leave each other alone at Halloween. I want to see more about this couple!

It's very easy for people to parrot the things they've heard, or the things they think they've heard. Some who believe their side is righteous or holy will shout words of hate from the highest heavens. No matter whom it might hurt. This short play illustrates the consequences of telling someone they are hated. Great job, Steven.

Generation gaps get larger and larger as the world gets smaller and smaller. I can relate to the grandpa in this play, who feels increasingly lost in an unfamiliar world dominated by people like his grandson. And to have just lost perhaps the most important tether to your identity... Darrin's play touches on all that, and explores how we can all help each other find their way in the world, no matter how old we are.

I know Jack claims the horse and the monkey were part of his imagination and writing process, but I think I need to see both of them in the first non-human adaptation of The Odd Couple. Not sure, which is Oscar and which is Felix, though. I hope Jack eventually got out of the closet. Fun read!

I love this play. It shows perfectly how lack of communication fuels mistrust and propaganda, and how just a little bit of patience and...perseverance can break through any barriers. Hazel's attitude is infectious and Danielle gives her a great spirit that I hope a lot of our pilots had - then and now.

I love stories where the parent/child characters actually care about each other rather than being adversaries. There's a great relationship here that I would love to see explored more. So many family dynamic combinations are out there, and father-son is one that needs to be re-explored after so many years of trope and stereotypical situations.

This companion piece to The Brady Girls was great, Debra has the personalities of all the characters down perfectly. The two pieces would work great together. Just waiting for the next follow-ups featuring Alice and Sam, and then maybe from Tiger's perspective?

As a life-long Brady Bunch fan, this conversation is spot-on. Love how Jan keeps getting edged out, only to assert herself at the end. Brought back great memories.

If you're a fan of improv you'll recognize a lot of the standards in this funny short play. Those who have performed will get the sweats of recognition, and everyone will enjoy the snappy dialogue and how all the characters just roll with it to get the ending they like *DING* want *DING* need with every fiber of their being...

This is a great little play that calls on a familiar trope, someone going crazy from the noises in the walls, and turns it on its ear. Sometimes your greatest enemies are from within.... Very suspenseful and deft at ratcheting up the tension from moment to moment.
