  • Ian Donley: Things Didn't Cost As Much Then (Beauregard and Zeke #5)

    A sweet conclusion to this series. Scott Sickles has given a satisfying ending for two boys completely different from one another finding love in themselves and each other.

  • Ian Donley: And This is My Assistant Beaker (Beauregard and Zeke #3)

    Scott Sickles does a masterful job of writing about an intimate sexual moment but underlining it with nuance that proves that sex in itself is more than gratuitous.

  • Ian Donley: There's an Order to These Things (Beauregard and Zeke #1)

    Coming to terms with one's sexual orientation during your adolescent years is one of the most awkward and difficult parts of growing up.

  • Ian Donley: Dance Class

    This monologue tugged my heartstrings. Every creative can relate to how their art has been at one point their lifeline when life was too much to handle. Janine Sobeck Knighton captures that feeling wonderfully.

  • Ian Donley: A Berry Nice Memory

    I'm not even a huge Beatles fan (I know... blasphemy), but you don't have to be in order to enjoy this play. At its core, it's a story about dementia and the slow progression of it, symbolized by one man's core memory of enjoying a strawberry as a child. Evan Baughfman uses an abundance of creativity to balance the nostalgia and science fiction elements of the play.

  • Ian Donley: A Bajillion Bean Burritos

    This is a very heartwarming play with a creative title! This would go well for a short play festival for families.

  • Ian Donley: The Edge of Play

    This is a sweet short play about overcoming anxiety through imagination. The concept of having her toy push Ada into playing with the other kids is creative. This would be great for a family-friendly play festival.
