This suspenseful two-hander holiday play explores loneliness and consequences as an altruistic driver begins to realize that the passenger he picked up might not be quite as innocent as he seemed. Ken Love packs so much into just a few pages and gives actors fabulous opportunities to explore the potent silences he provides.

Adorable and funny Christmas play that's wonderfully family-friendly too. Charming!

Wow, this is such a great play. I found it riveting. Syran’s ability to put us smack-dab and utterly convincingly into an archaeological dig at a monastery in southeastern Turkey is just so impressive, and with its complex believable characters, skillful dialogue, universal relatable themes and a “ticking clock” that sets the stakes very high, this play would make a terrific theatrical experience for audiences of all kinds.

Wonderfully creepy and thought-provoking dark comedy/horror play that immerses us in teen and horror-movie culture of the 1980s and then pulls the rug out from under us. Like all great horror plays The Blank Mask is both fun and spooky at the same time. I'd love to see this staged.

Soucy's skillful and slyly funny short horror play keeps us watching (or in my case, reading) and relishing the back-and-forth argument between its two characters, and then wonderfully surprises us, while exploring an issue especially relevant to today's world. So good!

Oooh, so fun! Floyd-Priskorn's spooky, suspenseful short play is a thriller, mystery, horror play, love story and coming of age story all rolled into one and with surprises in store too. So well done!

Yes, I HAVE wondered what happens to Danny and Wendy from The Shining. Byham's very funny play imagines Danny all grown up and working at the help desk of a tech bar, which might or might not be more than just a metaphorical hell. Great fun for audiences and actors.

I was fortunate to see the excellent Broadway production of this terrific play which explores metoo and teenagers with intelligence, heart and sly humor and also celebrates the power of young women to make change. Along with its utterly convincing characters and dialogue, another remarkable feat of this play is its ability to fill a theater with young people, something I witnessed and which made me feel hopeful for the future of theater. Brava!

I love the absurdist humor of this short play with a mystery and character-interrupted songs packed in. Richter's play made me laugh out loud (and who doesn't need to laugh right now?). So much fun!

This is such a sweet and charming play! I love how Cole keeps us guessing about what exactly has this couple so exhausted--we can guess, but I venture to say that your guess will be wrong, as mine was. Fun and lovely!
