A real-life encounter turns into this comic gem! Could the “B” in Ms. B mean what I think it does? I love the final zinger!

Sometimes you just need to hire someone to do the heavy lifting. Or in this case it’s Bruce Karp’s light comic touch that gets the job done in this compact two hander. Deceptively simple, direct, and perfectly sets up the payoff. Would be a great addition to any festival.

The fourth, but certainly not the last, installment of this hilarious series featuring intrepid CIA agent Justin Thyme, keeps the laughs coming. Secret messages from who else but Morris Cody. And could Justin Thyme be an imposter? Joe Swenson, don’t keep us waiting!

Nora Louise Syran has a wonderful talent for translating history into theater for young performers and audiences. Through relatable characters all trying to navigate school social and political life, OUR FAKE HISTORY teaches the importance of critical thinking and the dangers of deliberate misinformation. Any publisher, theater company, or school that would shy away from this piece because it is controversial is in the wrong business. This play truly deserves a wide audience!

What an absolute delight! In this clever romantic comedy, Jacquie Floyd-Priskorn presents us with two charming characters, one more so as the story progresses. The stage business and humorous banter between them shows a comfort between the two that makes them instantly likable and rooting for them at the end. My wish is for this play to be seen far and wide!

Rachel Feeny-Williams is a master of crime drama! And this one has to rank near the top! The characters and dialogue draw you into the mystery immediately. I love trying to play detective, and when an important clue was given, I was still surprised by what it really meant. The plot takes several well planned twists and turns right up to the end! This play will certainly have audiences buzzing at the stunning conclusion!

Whoa! This one really gave me goosebumps! I had no idea what to expect and I could never have guessed where Deb Cole was leading us. Others have used words like chilling, suspenseful, shocking. BLOOD PACT is all that and more. You’ll find yourself caught up trying to figure out the secret to this marriage and just which partner is in control. If you’re looking for something scary for Halloween, look no further!

A wedding with an ultimatum, a bachelorette party worthy of The Hangover, and clever opportunities for audience participation combine to make WEDDING BILL BLUES one heckuva funny theatrical event! The jokes arrive fast and furious no doubt leaving the audience breathless by the end. Oh how I would love to be in the audience for this!

Although I had never heard of the band or the album that inspired this play, I found it to be a compelling theatrical work. The brief acts provide snapshots of the lives of various couples at significant moments in their relationships. DC Cathro’s elegant script weaves these stories together to take us on a journey filled with uncertainty, caution, memories, and ultimately love. Hats off to DC Cathro!

This is my first Robert LeBlanc play, and I chose wisely! Patterned after the style of Neil Simon and Elaine May/Mike Nichols, THE BLOWOUT delivers the goods with clever, fast-paced dialogue and a visually amusing situation. Is there anything funnier than a man in boxers and black socks? At the heart of it all is a winning story about a couple that clearly belong together despite themselves. This play truly deserves many more future productions!
