  • Goddess Of The Hunt
    4 Jul. 2020
    Mystery! Mayhem! Mirth! And more than a few hilarious twists! This dark comedy from the mind of Doug DeVita rollicks along like a rollercoaster. A fun show with roles for actors hungry to chew on some scenery. Delightful!
  • A Humble Path [a monologue]
    4 Jul. 2020
    A dark and surprising observation of human nature, taken to an extreme. Violent thoughts becoming reality are also becoming commonplace, which makes this piece all the more tragic. A psychological thrill ride in just a few pages.
  • Only You Can Reject Jelly Beans
    4 Jul. 2020
    Replacing loneliness with literally anything is so relatable. Osmundsen explores this difficult time in a way that is funny but also a bit unnerving. We all have the temptation for human interaction, but in a pandemic it becomes a game of Russian Roulette... much like eating a bag of mixed jelly beans. Dire with a dash of hope.
  • How to Tie a Cravat (a monologue) (Playing on the Periphery #2)
    4 Jul. 2020
    As children, we grow up loving what we don’t understand. It’s human nature to be curious, until there comes a point where the unknown can be perceived as different, dangerous. This funny and tragic glimpse into the life of a boy who’s “not like the other kids” will hit you like a bully on a playground. We’ve all been, or at least know, a Bertram. Also, Cravat rhymes with Scott. Coincidence?
  • Blind No. 7
    3 Jul. 2020
    A short, semi-sweet piece that explores relationships between brothers, fathers, and sons. There are differences, secrets, confessions, but the familial bond stays strong, and that is a breath of fresh air in times such as these.
  • That Moment When ...
    1 Jul. 2020
    Actually, it could be called “that moment we all want.” The first encounter with a possible love captured brilliantly, with style, and told in an unusually fun way. Sweet!
  • How to be a Respectable Junkie
    1 Jul. 2020
    Painful and difficult to read, but for the very best reasons. Ultimately hopeful. I’m blown away.
  • LEMONS FOR THE PEOPLE
    23 Jun. 2020
    Quirky with an air of mystery... and educational! An amusing ride that features a great, fun role for a young adult.
  • 38 Cookies, 39 Reasons [a monologue]
    23 Jun. 2020
    You’d think, given the title, that this play would be sweet (pun intended). It actually digs deep into some serious societal, emotional, and psychological issues in a very intriguing way. Full of mystery and energy. Imagining it on stage has me torn between dread and fun. All of this, AND cookies. What’s not to love?
  • Stupid, Fat, Ugly
    23 Jun. 2020
    Full of harsh, ugly truths. Unyieldingly brutal and heartbreaking.
