    Sheer tragedy; a tortured family, and who knows? Maybe we do fail to move on until things are settled. Tense and lean, this work by Everett Robert is the perfect play for horror fans and Halloween festivals. Keep a blanket nearby.

  • George Sapio: Pix of Your Partner's Privates by Dave Osmundsen
    “

    So, like AWKWARD??? One man's attempt to inject a little sauciness into his relationship with his GF does not go as well as he'd imagined. Backtracking, apologies, and spot-on humor propel this couple through a real turning point. Cleverly done, this work shows you the soul behind the selfies.

  • George Sapio: The Show Must NOT Go On! by Kelly McBurnette-Andronicos

    THIS is the Shakespeare play I have always wanted to see. Chaotic, side-splittingly funny, and such an affectionate homage to The Bard. Extremely recommended!

    Kelly has a wonderful ear for dialogue and a heart full of warmth for her characters, each of whom is special in her own way and so fully human. A hilarious situation just gets crazier and every choice made amplifies the delicious discomfort.

    An extremely disturbing work. Read it a few days ago and still processing it. Re-read it again. Neither character is all that sympathetic and each shows cruel tendencies; one wonders how they made it through eight years together. Still, a very powerful piece that challenges traditional ideas of dominance, sexual tactics, and violence. This would make a hell of a performance with the right actors.

  • George Sapio: The Diplomats by Nelson Diaz-Marcano
    “

    It's what happens as life moves on inexorably and we try to stay true to our core values. Problem is we don't change the way the world around us does--it changes much faster. Take three people who used to know each other and bring them together when something critical--like an election--is about to happen. Between the things we do to survive and the things we think we believe, or want to believe that we believe, that's where "The Diplomats" comes in. This play cuts hard into the dreams we think we still have and the ones we abandoned.

    What a nebbish! Funny, in a pathetic sort of way. if you ever need a piece about someone who really, REALLY doesn't get it, this is the short mono for you.

    Truly painful situation. Hard to read, but truthful in its intent. Part of the impact is its brevity; in so short a time we see so much and we hope for the best. Very well-written.
