A beautifully told memory filled with humor and emotion. The historical backdrop provides important context and truly brings the story to life. Outstanding work!

I won’t be able to attend my *cough cough* reunion this year, but fortunately I could experience one much more enjoyable thanks to Jacquie Floyd-Priskorn’s hilarious CRASS REUNION! How’s this for kicking things off? “Saffron Hollyhock enters, perky as puke. Former senior class president, now a Banana Republic clad soccer mom, clinging to her MILF status.” It just gets wilder and funnier from there! Throw in some inspired audience participation and this is one reunion you don’t want to miss!

We all know about the charming prince who rescues the damsel in distress. In great comic fashion, Emily Hageman turns the fairytale on its head with a decidedly feminist twist. With a clueless prince and his wise and wisecracking squire, the laughs are plentiful. A great addition to any festival.

Although the setting for SCHOLARSHIP is a community college, this story and the comic frustrations of dealing with any bureaucracy are universal. I’m currently dealing with an issue where I have told the same story over and over again. So Mel’s plight had me laughing out loud! A fun read and would be a treat to see performed!

What a treat this! A play that shows the true meaning of brotherly love, BOXED IN will have you cheering these two brothers as they grapple with the younger’s delusions. But Stephanie Hunt has other things in mind! Two engaging characters, a unique story, and one heck of a twist!

A first-rate murder mystery that will have you second guessing yourself throughout the tension-filled ten minutes! Expertly crafted by Ryan Kaminski, THE MEADOW is perfect for any festival.

What a fun look at the world of superheroes and their trusted sidekicks! But how much trust can you place in a sidekick given their unfair working conditions?! Tom Moran has given us a brilliant and hilarious look at this dynamic (duo) with a female sidekick being shut out by the superhero/villain boys club. Will our hero escape from the clutches of the Demon? Will the Demon finally meet his fate? And will Gravel Girl change her name? Stay tuned! Let’s hope more productions are in store!

Chickens! Puns! Claudia Haas has served up a delicious nugget! Actors and audiences alike will cross many roads to be part of this fun piece!

Deb Cole just writes the best monologues! And FROZEN is a perfect example. The character speaks candidly and directly from the heart. The lessons imparted are wise and we are better off for the time spent, frozen or not, with this monologue.

This play from Daysha Veronica provides a captivating, thoughtful, and much-needed look at how important it is, not only for a playwright’s voice, but for diverse voices in all walks of life to be heard and respected. Veronica’s characters are multi-dimensional, and she does such an excellent job of framing the conflict from multiple perspectives that audiences will likely engage in animated discussions similar to the classroom scene in act two. This play should be required reading for theater programs and new works projects!
