The exaggerated and absurd interactions between the employees and customers highlight the challenges and absurdity of working in customer service. The world needs more stage plays about zombies!

"Sometimes, When It’s Night…," by DC Cathro, is a poignant and intimate exploration of the challenges faced by a young couple during the Christmas season. Set in an empty dorm room, the play presents themes of love, struggle, homelessness, addiction, and the desire for connection. The play's unique title hints at the unconventional nature of the narrative. I can only assume that it alludes to Danielle’s unrevealed secret at the end of the play.

"Beautifully So" is an exploration of unconventional relationships. The characters are unique and well-defined.
