  • George Sapio: The Replacement

    Would that it were this easy. Mr. Norkin's short play strikes a dangerous yet hopeful tone in a struggle deep and unfathomable. Maybe peace and humor are the ways to enlightenment--but you'll need a brave bubbe like Sylvia to make it happen!

  • George Sapio: One in Every Flavour

    I may never eat ice cream again. Unless it's vanilla. An unsuspecting customer gets way more than they bargained for when they accidentally step into an experimental ice cream station. Absolute fun for two actors who want to play close to over the top. This was so good I'm still queasy.

  • George Sapio: Strangers and No Train

    Yeah... we need more folks like Burt in this world. A very lovely, touching moment for two disappointed souls who manage to find each in the most unlikely of places. Tis will add a tender highpoint to any evening of shorts. Rachel's done it again.

  • George Sapio: This Is Bull

    Absolutely hilarious. And probably not too far from reality. A (mostly) two-hander with very juicy parts for those keen on acting big. Another Jeff Dunne riot!

  • George Sapio: Companion

    AI or not, this is a very human story. Which makes me wonder about AI at all: even humans need to learn how to be human--could AI do it better? Successes are a series of small steps, and Ms. Kirkman presents such a one with kindness and... dare I say it? Humanity.

  • George Sapio: Man Cave; the North End of Euripides Street

    Timely, tragic, and poignant. History sadly repeats itself because we never, ever learn from the past. Euripides, fed up and fearful, seeks to find a new future, one where he's appreciated. Meanwhile, his country is falling to the rabble; what little orderly rule there was has disintegrated. Where is the line between patriotism, duty, and personal salvation?

  • George Sapio: Fake News?

    Absurdity has become prevalent, nay, the standard of our days, as presented by Ms. Feeny-Williams. I'd love to think this was a brief sojourn into things that could not possibly happen, an overly dramaticized tale from perhaps, Bradbury, but such is not the case. A pair of aliens reads a news article (somewhat incorrect in its facts, yet chillingly apropos in its representation) about events in the US and are quite shaken. (Possibly they're not as well-versed in Earth's history to be so stunned.) A play that, at first, seems less than it packs, yet eloquent in its brevity.

  • George Sapio: Grace Finds Kel

    A battle of wills wrapped inside a compassionate effort. Two determined opponents trying to do what's best, and only one will triumph. Or do they? Excellent, fun piece for two game performers!

  • George Sapio: Rotten Roots

    Perfectly sequenced, deftly written, this side-by-side is captivating, both for its heartfelt characters and the powerful reveal. And the best last line I've seen in a long time!

  • George Sapio: Wetworking From Home (a play for Zoom)

    I kinda thought I knew where I was going, but, boy, was I wrong. Great snappy dialogue, absurdly hilarious, and a great piece for three actors with a taste for the bizarre. I'd love to see this one onstage for real!
