There is so much packed into this short play. The mythology is skillfully blended into a modern story of motherhood, growing up and individuality. The challenge of every parent to let their children blossom and also not lose their own personalities is what will connect audiences to this play in a heartwarming way.

This short play is as funny as it is accurate. Panic reigning supreme with so much more on the line than button pushing and summer camps.

In the middle of an interesting sci-fi story of a mission to extend humanity across the cosmos, lies a touching story of connection and the human experience. To exist, or even just exist forever, is not the point to Cindi and Dell as they contemplate what they want from life adrift in space. Questions we on Earth would be wise to ask.

Apocalypse stories are always so obsessed with the chaos and so rarely focused on the still human moments that would invariably exist. Two friends carrying a lifetime of trauma and personal experiences along a desolate landscape is a beautiful metaphor for survival and how friends are what keeps us going. It's a scary world out there. Wren Aubrey Latham builds a special world in that old Jeep Wrangler.

This would be a powerful play to watch performed. The setup and scene is incredibly rich despite being so very simple. The supernatural elements are charmingly unique and the characters are still so very human. We connect to them and need more time around this ghost light to learn their stories. Or maybe not, maybe the point is just walking in the dark together.

In a world with too many lazy Jasons, let's cheer on the Emmas and watch them punch back. Aside from the core message of lopsided marriages, there is plenty of humor in this short, witty piece.

This beautiful short play explores personal choice and freedom in a powerful way. It has some good laughs mixed in as it explores how the elements of faith are each confronted with the fundamental question of love. In addition to being eloquently written, the play has plenty of great characters for an ensemble cast to dive into.

Don't read this play while in public unless you are OK with your (actual) LOL drawing attention. Ideally, watch this witty and funny work while being performed, but in a pinch a crowded public place will do. In either case, you'll laugh whether you own cats or not. It's perfection.

A perfect blend of technology, theology and friendship. What is the after life? Imagine having a choice in the matter and holding all of our human debates about religion and purpose in your hands at the flip of a switch. This short play has a very, very deep pool if you dare to tread the waters.

Simply a beautiful short play. Flips stereotypes upside down and shuns them as they should be. Loved every word of the piece.
