It’s always fun to see the obnoxiously privileged taken down a notch. And Lindsey Brown does just that with the haughty Wilsons as they try to hijack a parent/teacher interview. Mrs. Crowe, however, is not one to be steamrolled. Lots of laughs in store in this multi-award-winning short.

Would you spend your afterlife in a stuffy college dorm room with two roommates and only two beds (sound like hell?) or do anything to win a ticket to heaven and leave the others behind to face God knows what? That’s the basic premise, but oh my there’s so much more to Peter Fenton’s amazing play! The soul-searching journey of the three recently deceased college students along with their demon guide is completely captivating and will likely leave readers/audiences doing their own soul searching. Brilliant!

A car navigation system with a mind of its own. Pure fun! Go along for the ride!

While Janina prepares a new Indian dish for her restaurant chain, it seems she’s also cooking up something nefarious. It’s never quite spelled out, and there are a couple of suspicious but unseen characters adding to the mystery. I could see this evolving into a full-blown mystery filled with recipes and intrigue. Even as it stands now this is one tasty morsel!

A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. For Elena, the journey outside her apartment and back into life is overwhelming since suffering a tragic loss. A hallway encounter with her neighbor could be the key to opening new doors. Jennifer O’Grady has beautifully crafted this tender story of loss and trauma and, ultimately, hope. I’m looking forward to the opportunity to see this in September 2023 as presented by PlayZoomers.

This moving monologue finds its power in its sheer honesty. Like the speaker, who can honestly live a life and not have regrets about choices made or not made, things said or not said? And reading or seeing this performed will certainly have you doing some self-reflection. Read this. You won't regret it.

Jessica Feder-Birnbaum provides an unsettling look at how abusive behavior from a man in power is often swept under the carpet rather than confronted openly. Hopefully this play will have a wider audience and encourage women and men to speak up in such situations.

Stunning in its creativity and originality. Quirky, engaging characters tell (often directly to us) a tale of young love and the insecurities that come with it, and the desire to tell a story on one’s own terms. John Patrick Bray has done just that. A marvel!

In TAKEN TO SCHOOL, John Busser cleverly shows that the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree. On a ride to school, a father tries to teach his teenage son a lesson about life. Turns out the son has a thing or two to teach dear old dad. There’s nothing quite like a story of father and son bonding from the mind of John Busser! And if you know John’s brilliant work, that should tell you everything you need to know!

Don’t mess with the Tooth Fairy! This is a funny and creepy look at a childhood magical being who readily admits that parents do the actual work but still expects great online reviews. I give TOOTH OR DARE five stars of my own free will.
