Holding onto a piece of our childhood helps keep keep the spirit of the Christmas season alive for adults. And who better to remind us than Santa? A spirited two-hander sure to brighten your holiday!

Exquisite! This play may be the closest thing to perfection I have ever read. And I imagine I would have the same response if I’m ever fortunate enough to see it staged. The dialogue is sparse, poetic, and moving. The pain both characters feel is palpable and yet the story is truly life affirming. This is a must read!

This is such a sweet and positive play about an over-protective mother going a bit too far for her son. A meeting with an HR rep turns out to be surprisingly enlightening. Debra Cole does a terrific job of setting up certain expectations and then taking us in a different direction. A delightful two-hander for 40+ female actors.

I read this twice. The first time I smiled. The second time I cried. DEEPER has the wonderful breezy banter that Jacquie Floyd-Priskorn does so well. But it’s also infused with a darkness, a feeling of uncertainty. The allusion to Hamlet and our sense of free will to change our life or end it will have a profound effect on audiences. But Jacquie also presents us with hope. That whatever path we choose, it’s better if we have someone to hold our hand along the way. A lovely play that I would want to see several times.

This short holiday gem from Philip Middleton Williams examines the over commercialization of Christmas by taking a comically cynical look at how holiday advertising is created. Not only are any religious references against the “rules,” but the advertising team has a handy way of repurposing past commercials to suit any product! I especially liked the concept for the taxidermy company! Kind of like killing two deer with one Mercedes. A very funny play with a different holiday perspective. Hope this is being presented somewhere this season!

Permission to laugh out loud! PETTY DRAMA OFFICER is original, bizarre, zany, and just plain hilarious! Now I understand what the term “petty officer” really means! Someone please produce this!

Things start out badly for the birthday party planners for 9-year-old Bruce and deteriorate rapidly in this madcap dark comedy. To cope with an unfortunate accident or two, the planners turn the party into a Batman murder mystery. What follows is a 3-ring circus at which even PT Barnum would marvel!

Wildly funny! This game show just breezes by! This would be so much fun to see staged, and I imagine some audience members might not be able to resist the temptation to shout out their own responses! I found myself finally catching on toward the end and hoping for another round!

The staccato rhythm of Arianna Rose’s dialogue combined with the fluid movement of the action give this play the feel of an intricate tap routine. It feels like it should be choreographed as opposed to directed. An incredible ensemble piece inspired by a surprising event in Ginger Rogers’ early life, this play screams to be produced!

The sophistication of city dwellers vs. the tranquility of suburban living, with the exception of the occasional zombie infestation. But they’re cute and cuddly and would make wonderful pets if only they didn’t stink so much. This is the crazy world that comes from the wonderful imagination of Jacquie Floyd-Priskorn. The laughs start early and don’t let up until the mysterious ending. This would be a hoot to see on stage and would be a special treat if paired with Jacquie’s SUBURBAN ZOMBIE PRINCESS!
