A delightfully poignant piece that eloquently captures the complexities of life and relationships. A mother and son tread carefully around the icy edges of the issue at hand until they are suddenly waist deep in it. A wonderful relationship piece peppered with humour and honesty.

Fighting Mr. Right throws a hilarious curveball at the typical boy-meets-girl story. Capturing all the awkwardness and nervous energy of a first date, Joel and Marla's evening seems destined to lead to something else and something else and something else, until Marla proposes something interesting, daunting, challenging, and unusual. The dialogue is sharp and insightful with great emotional swings. A funny and insightful reminder that relationships aren't always all the tidy bits and pieces.

It's reassuring to know that when humanity inevitably automates itself out of a job that we'll still be able to rely on the things that make us decidedly human, like cynicism and deception. A delightfully funny look at a terrifyingly plausible future.

Wow. What a beautiful metaphor for something that is so hard to understand and come to terms with. Henry is reluctantly letting go of a lifetime of things, but is also passing them on to those that will treasure them forever. A wonderful heartfelt piece.

Truly twisted and darkly disturbing, HTMTSSPHISLTHSAEGWSMDNOWEBATBAHOHK;o,WCYJSBAT is an absurdist delight. Filled with a rogue's gallery of *the absolute worst* supporting characters, this piece offers great opportunities for talented character actors with physical comedy chops. A great story line that keeps twisting and turning and will surely keep the drunkest and rowdiest of fringe audiences engaged.

As the saying goes, there are three things you should never talk about: religion, politics, or birth plans. "Birth Plan" by Monica Cross explores the all-too-relatable experience of first time mothers being inundated with unsolicited advice, and the sometimes strongly held opinions of the countless options.

Like a full torpedo-mode punch to the crotch, Christopher Soucy's "Low Class Boner Pills" is a merciless nutshot to the funny bone and offers a hilarious look inside the meat factories filling our inboxes with fresh spam. Audiences will surely want to grind this show up and snort it off a dead hooker.

High celabratocity for the worthable uni-quality of Best of Honor! Soltero-Brown delivers a damn do of a duo whose rages raise hell. From its opening beat, the rapid-fire assault of nonstop verbal shorthand sweep the audience into a tsunami of implication and accusation. This is one to surely leave the pooples which gatherate brainiating with thoughtations.

Barbershop Duet is a thought-provoking snapshot of the ever-evolving landscape of urban neighborhoods, and of two people from different worlds and different generations finding commonality amongst their differing experiences.

The Grout Fairy is an absurd cautionary tale on pet peeves, lying, and the importance of reading the fine print. Sure to bring a smile.
