The lengths some people will go to just to be “agreeable”! Lisa Dellagiarino Feriend uses a trip to the moon to tell a wildly funny and unexpected story. What you can expect is the smart writing that is found in all of Feriend’s work. Houston, we have a winner!

The calla lilies are in bloom and the spirit of Katherine Hepburn blossoms in this charming comedy from Karen Fix Curry! If a young actress is going to conjure up a ghost for advice, who better than Ms. Hepburn? This was a joy to read, and I would love the chance to see Katherine Hepburn “live” onstage!

There’s nothing like a Shakespearean romp in the woods to lift your spirits! But now there’s Arianna Rose’s delightful spoof which will leave you in stitches! Wonderful roles for three female actors. This short play has a rich history of success, and there is every reason to believe that will continue!

Shocked by the sudden, violent death of her boyfriend, Layla is certain there must be a mistake. Enter an agent of DEATH to painstakingly review the situation just in case there was indeed an error. The interaction between Layla and the agent, a typical bureaucrat, is hysterical. And true to Rachel Feeny-Williams fashion, there are plenty of twists and turns! This may be THE WRONG MAN, but it is the right play for someone to produce now!

What an interesting and entertaining way to examine the relationship between narrator and protagonist. When the narrator is quite literally unveiled, we are left to wonder whose story is being told. Any writer who has struggled to make a character conform to their expectations (all?) will readily identify with this story. This would be a pleasure to see on stage!

A marvelous character study! Vince Gatton demonstrates tremendous range employing slapstick, wit, and pathos. THE OKTAVIST hits all the right notes!

What a wonderful tribute to two legendary women. Part history, part fantasy, and completely enjoyable! Just as Amelia Earhart and Eleanor Roosevelt soared through the skies over Washington, DC, Arianna Rose’s writing takes flight. Everyone should come along for the ride!

I love this play! So clever and so thought provoking. And what a great reminder of the miracles that surround us! This could easily be a festival favorite!

It’s a city of strangers, but this chance encounter between a seasoned New Yorker and a newbie raises the possibility that just talking could lead to something special. Jaxson Mackling has created a couple of fun characters and leaves us wanting to go exploring with them! Well done!

I would not want to visit this Grandma’s House except to see it on stage! This is one scary play, and the actor playing Grandma has a great opportunity to elicit shrieks from the audience! I get chills thinking about it! Cole Hunter Dzubak has created a winner for any horror themed festival!
