Beauty is found within and shows itself through actions...so what happens when you try to teach someone to appreciate beauty through despicable actions? A great short about learning to see one's own faults.

One of the most powerful, honest plays I've ever read. This should be produced everywhere.

What a lovely, lovely play. Mr. Sickles knows just how many--and exactly which--words to use to convey huge concepts, life-changing realizations. Both Zeke and Beau are drawn with compassionate accuracy and great affection. This one will stop any show.

Highly caffeinated insanity. A great lot of fun for two actors to play off of each other. And you'll never look at another barista the same way again.

As someone who's taken several agony-ridden attempts to shake off the nicotine addiction, this one rings horribly true. I totally get this crisis, every crazed urge, every excuse. This battle will have the audience on the edges of their seats.

If you love creepy things...cemeteries at night...this one's for you. Three friends searching for one very old gravestone, just as dusk fades. Not just creepiness, but family, the callousness of "progress" and loyalty play significant factors in this earnest, near-desperate search for a legacy. Beautifully crafted character piece.

I **love** this guy. He gets it. Halloween has been watered down, we all know that, and kids have been kinda over protected. But this Dad...he understands the fright value of a holiday. And he loves his kids, that's certain. Somewhere betwixt the time when teenagers think they don't need you anymore and a parent's fear of being irrelevant...Ms. Hall has found the joy of prankstering...on the day most perfect for it.

Economy of words and a maximum of emotion. A simple argument made defiantly, compassionately. Ms. Hall has created a world in one page; a strong mother who sees the future clearly, knows what's to come and still defends her right to keep her home and her family intact. Beautifully done.

You never get what you might expect from Mr. Bray. A mummy? The playwright has a knack for making the absurd seem logical, natural even. This funny, funny play (I read it three times just because) would be great fun for the right actors and the audience. (Not to mention the props/costume dept.)

The thoughts of the Gorgon, the tortured musings of a wronged woman (as so many were in those bestial tales of random violence). Almost makes you wish you could wield the sword yourself and do her the kindness of releasing her. A powerful mono, perfect for auditions or strong-woman themed evenings.
