  • Ian Donley: The Witch by Jonny Bolduc
    “

    Jonny Bolduc's THE WITCH is equally as scary as it is cathartic. This play tackles trauma with a mix of old school Gothic flair and modernized classic horror tropes. The balance keeps the audience intrigued to see how the story ends, and the payoff is worth it!

  • Ian Donley: I Don't Trust My Eyes: A Monologue by Cole Hunter Dzubak
    “

    Cole Hunter Dzubak is able to take a physical trait that many people don't pay deep attention to and make the audience wonder how we, individually, take note of how we change as people and, more importantly, how often it goes unnoticed.

  • Ian Donley: Not That Ed by Mike Byham
    “

    Mike Byham's NOT THAT ED sets up a casual rom com scenario of a one-night stand going wrong once the euphoria wears off. By the end of the play, the audience is left not being able to help but laugh at how we are capable of letting our own ambitions cloud our judgment.

  • Ian Donley: The Blowout by Robert J. LeBlanc
    “

    Robert J. LeBlanc's THE BLOWOUT is a Neil Simon inspired depiction of a couple recovering from infidelity that organically leaves the audience to think on what a committed relationship should look like.

  • Ian Donley: Final Girl by Brent Alles
    “

    In this quick-paced horror comedy, Alles gives the audience a deconstructed portrayal of the beloved "final girl" who takes power into her own hands, resulting in her becoming a modern-day Jennifer Hills in "I Spit On Your Grave" in this well-balanced meta-narrative!

  • Ian Donley: Monsters of the American Cinema by Christian St. Croix
    “

    Simply glorious! The mix of direct storytelling and dialogue makes the plot worth investing in. This play has many layers to unpack from racism, internalized (and outward) homophobia, and grief while incorporating throwback cinema. I would absolutely love to see this live.

    A debate on ethics that pushes the audience to determine what's too far in the world of art!

  • Ian Donley: FIREFLIES - one minute monologue by D. Lee Miller
    “

    An accurate portrayal of first love and, in my case, made me think of what I could've had if I hadn't missed my opportunity.

    “

    An original crime thriller inspired by the likes of Hitchcock infused with LGBTQ acceptance and roles for LGBTQ artists to sink their teeth into!
