  • Abhisek Bhattacharya: The Big Sneeze (or Much Achoo About Nothing)

    No! No! Don't you ever suppress a sneeze, especially not when you are entering to perform in "As You Like It." And you have a pickleball match and a wedding to attend. Oh, forgot! You're the best man, too. Morey Norkin's terrific backstage comedy "The Big Sneeze (or Much Achoo About Nothing)" stems from an elementary idea, becomes pervasively hilarious, and ends up in the heart through a broken rib ... all because of that suppressed sneeze. The director and actors would have a field day with the banter and physical comedy. And the audience will love it too!

  • Abhisek Bhattacharya: Spin Cycle

    "Spin Cycle" by Andrew Martineau is a brilliant, "well-spun" play. As you proceed through the intricate, funny, poignant dialogue, the sorrow, happiness, love (in unlikely places), and boring daily lives of Jim and Mandy resonate with us. The characters seem very familiar; we all have encountered similar beings, maybe even have been like that at one phase or another. The play generates a warm, glowing feeling; it is an incredible feel-good story.

  • Abhisek Bhattacharya: Melt

    Wow! There is much more to an ice cream truck than meets the eye. A family-owned ice cream business suddenly turned spooky! Brenton Kneiss penned a horror masterpiece- a short, velvety smooth icy delight that will freeze your bones! I would love to see the audience suffer the same shock I experienced while reading the play.

  • Abhisek Bhattacharya: The Ghost Tour

    An energetic tourist party, a terrible tour guide, and a sudden dash of bone-chilling suspense. Using simple ingredients, Lou Jones masterfully concocted a spooky horror story in the backdrop of an amusement park. Regardless of whether one could predict the end, everybody would enjoy this play. And the director and designer would have a field day, not to mention the actors who would take the audience along on a "spooktacular" ghost tour.

  • Abhisek Bhattacharya: OvEn (an ode to Shakespeare)

    Melissa's "OvEn (an ode to Shakespeare)" is a hilarious, furiously-paced Shakespeare-inspired comedy. It's an anachronistic amalgamation of Shakespeare and Youtube with fantastic dialogues and the opportunity for delightful physical comedy. The director and actors would have an oven-baked keto-delicious field day! And so would the audience!
