As compact a nightmare as you can imagine. A typical couple looking to make it on their own find the legal system is full of trap doors and dead ends. What are they--a normal couple as you are ever to find--to do? If this doesn't get to you, see a doctor.

Well-crafted short play examining the effects of LGBTQIA+ bullying. Astute questions, pinpoint examinations. Relatable characters. Guaranteed to provoke energetic conversation...and conversation is what's needed to keep this important issue in the light. Ms. Cole's writing is always spot-on, and this piece hits the mark perfectly.

Found myself saying "Somebody just call this woman already!" out loud. Angrily. Perfectly paced, completely genuine retelling of a morning nobody ever wants or should have to go through...but many of us have had to. Rachel nailed it with this emotional rollercoaster.

This bunch would drive a stoned Buddhist monk mad with rage. Well-meaning but wholly unable to read the room, this family would be a malevolent joy to portray on stage. RFW has once again taken a slice of life, given it a shot of steroids and watched it play out. In fact, I need a walk myself.

I'm exhausted from just reading this. It's a juggernaut of emotion, twisting and manipulating, and you never really know what's real until the end. And even maybe then. But what a workout! Every line is perfect, every nuance natural. Brilliant.

What a fun short play! Depression and the absolute knowledge that you are alone is paralyzing. It takes a special friend, one who knows how to reach you, to give the help needed. Man's best friend is well-paced to do just that. But dogs don't talk, do they? Heartworm is heartwarming; this play's gentleness uplifts and makes you laugh and the ending abso-perfect. A wonderful addition to any night of one-acts!

A hilarious piece for an actor to tackle. Stirring, patriotic, and completely absurd. Robert's work is always spot-on, and this short gem could easily slip in between other one-acts and steal the show. If I could find a dress that fits and a proper wig, I'd love to do it myself.

Powerful piece of work. A troubled teen and a capable shrink do battle, revealing a little of what the problems seem to be. Just a little, but enough to make change, get a small handle on a world of hurt. You can't help cheering for both of them. The dialogue is handled with truth; no magic bullets here, just a glimpse of what it takes to discover someone's reasons for doing what they did. I'd love to sit in on a second session.

This is such a fun play! Jacquie has a way with characters that just draws you in naturally; right or wrong, like them or not, you understand them and what they choose to do, and that is what makes great drama. I am now going to build a Stonehenge in my backyard.

Perfect for a night of community theatre comedies! Fast-moving, hilarious, and heartwarming. Friendship rules, even if no one reads anything the book club proposes. And you can't help asking "What would I name my own?"
