The quest for ancient wisdom and maybe a Nobel Prize clouds the magic right before Dr. Bill’s eyes. In this charming, funny, and somewhat creepy tale of innocence, greed, and the wonders of nature, Jacquie Floyd-Priskorn provides a welcome addition to her delightful collection of stone circle short plays. A wonderful challenge for costumers and for the two actors portraying the magnificent SHOEBILL STORK! Would love to see how a creative team brings this to life!

This is perhaps the most effective use of theater to advocate for gun control that I’ve come across. The concert style performance guarantees that Dan Taube’s powerful message will be delivered forcefully to the audience. This needs to be read and seen until, through some major social change, it becomes a period piece.

A remarkably theatrical telling of a little known (to me anyway) story out of WWII Britain. Alice Josephs’ script soars with poetry and language that engages all the senses. What an absolute marvel this would be to see on stage!

Wisdom can come from the most unexpected source. In this hilarious two hander we learn that the answer is indeed blowing in the wind. Visual and verbal comedy abound! Stage this one soon and let her rip!

This clever look at ORGANizational hierarchy is also a cautionary tale. Marilyn Ollett’s hilarious wordplay satirizes corporate culture perfectly. If you’re located too far from the head office, your concerns might not be addressed. And the results can be breathtaking!

The Bear is in the air! And now there’s a pair… of Bears! The action and the jokes are non-stop, except for the occasional moment to admire a lovely flight attendant. Bear is quite the ladies Bear after all. The Bear is racking up some serious mileage points, so hopefully there will be more high altitude hijinx from this furry frequent flyer! Until then, you will definitely get a kick on this plane!

A spooky autobiographical slice of life from Cole Hunter Dzubak. The opening scene is captivating as the young family with two adorable children move into their new home. But night falls, young Cole awakens, and the tension mounts! Is this the product of a child’s imagination or something else? Directors and actors could really go to town with this one! Hopefully a town near you!

A biting satire that shows just how far the far right could go. Philip Middleton Williams takes aim at the current Florida governor and the state’s un-democratic legislation and scores a bullseye! The clandestine meetings provide humor to an otherwise sadly prophetic tale. This is a great play for high schools across the state… make that country!

What starts out as a comic encounter in a graveyard turns dark as the mysterious young woman worries over the imminent arrival of a dangerous character. Fisher, a cop, wants to get her to safety, not realizing who or what she really is. Halloween will be here before you know it, and George Sapio should have more than a ghost of a chance with this fun thriller!

Beautifully written with heart, deep understanding of relationships, and even humor. IT’LL BE FINE takes us on a journey back and forth in time exploring how individuals deal with loss and grief differently and how that can impact relationships. Molly Harrington Canu does an excellent job of using the past to foreshadow what feels like the inevitable present for these well drawn characters. A terrific read, this would be outstanding on stage!
