Pure delight! Nora Louise Syran has created an entertaining adaptation with musical selections that serve the story perfectly. With such a large ensemble, this piece is ideal for schools or really any organization looking to put on a stage extravaganza.

Set up as potentially your typical rom-com where two women vie for the same hunk, FALLING OFF THE EDGE is anything but typical. First, there’s the backstory. The two women are both recovering alcoholics. The hunk is a Mormon, earnest in his faith but certainly not fitting a stereotype. Paul Donnelly provides plenty of humor nicely balanced with reflections on faith, love, friendship, and self discovery. A treat to read and no doubt a joy to see on stage.

A delightful rom-com with many unexpected twists and turns. Each twist is funnier than the last. Two very funny roles await actors lucky enough to bring them to life.

Inside jokes abound. IYKYK. Only Chris Plumridge could write himself into a Daniel Prillaman play. And only he would think of such a totally off the wall (4 walls in this case) idea.

Spectacular! This story just pulls you in from the start, and the concept is so fascinating you can't help but want to know how things will turn out for twins raised essentially as an experiment. Once they are released to pursue higher education, their lives take decidedly different paths. The conflict is presented intelligently but is still capable of raising your blood pressure. A terrific ensemble piece and a director's dream!

Discussions of finances in marriage can be challenging, especially when one spouse exerts control, as in this short scene. Fariq is unwilling to share details or accept sound advice from Eesha either through sheer stubbornness or some sense of pride. This intriguing short piece will ring true for many audiences, although half may have a hard time recognizing themselves.

LIFE IS SMALL is the title of the play, but as a character study it is anything but small. As the events of the story unfold, we discover three men each struggling with a sense of failure, and a female police officer with her own fears. Douglas Gearhart’s dialogue is extraordinary and I’m sure a staged production would be as well.

Leave the gun and take the cannoli, PLEASE! Rachel Feeny-Williams’ spoof of mafia dramas hits all the right notes. The actors playing the three Dons will have a ball. The opportunity to read or produce this is an offer you can’t refuse.

Hilarious! Voiceover Guy steals the show and more in what is destined to become a John Busser classic. Coming to a theater near some people this May! Run, don’t walk to grab your seat!

Oh, the schemes of 4th grade girls! But while Annabeth and Almyria are playing checkers, Ashley is playing 4-dimensional chess. This would be fun whether played by actual age, teen, or adult actors. Make it happen!
