I was not prepared for the impact that would come so quickly, but here we are. Intricately told. Occupies the space that it creates very effectively. The stillness is the perfect setting for the exploration of this terrible tragedy. In the end, what is home? This piece makes you question that in many ways. An outstanding short piece.

Whoa. An intense and dark confrontation here, expertly captured by Khanna. The intensity builds into an explosive climax, and you're definitely left with the impact of what happens along the way. Much to think about here... a ten minute with much depth. Perfect addition to the Spooky Season milieu.

Well, some definitely good conversation here and an intriguing examination of recent developments. And then, a neat little twist of an ending to punch things home. (Great use of a jump scare in a theatrical setting!) Audiences definitely aren't going to be expecting what they get out of this wonderful little ten-minute play. An appropriate and thoughtful homage to a masterpiece of horror.

One of my favorite things about being a wedding guest is to be a bit voyeuristic and watch what's going on with all the guests, the wedding table, etc. So, I absolutely loved the approach here. Each play on its own is a wonderful little gem, and when you put them together, it's a most enjoyable way to experience the story of this new couple and all their friends and family. Great characters all around and a wide diversity of parts for actors of all types. Raising my glass!

I would expect nothing less from Weaver to take something cute and wholesome and twist it in a most enjoyable way. A fractured fairy tale to be sure, and the sense of paranoia and dread that builds until the end is definitely well earned. Can't wait to see this staged at some point. Audiences are going to be delighted AND creeped out by it. Best of both worlds!

Ah, young love. Or... not? Levine keeps you guessing here as we get to examine a couple that maybe shouldn't have coupled. An enjoyable 10-minute with some nifty twists at the end.

A fiendishly clever take on the good old "Jekyll and Hyde," and the fact that the horrors mostly take place "offscreen" somehow makes it even grislier. The implication burrows into your brain and leaves you wondering just how you would deal with Frederick's... dilemma. Unsettling and yet darkly funny... perfect for the horror season.

Delightfully original while cleverly satirizing the past, this play just kept surprising me as it went along. Should be an absolute blast for the actor who gets to play this, and I definitely would love to see it staged. Unique, hilarious, and thrilling spooky play!

Tremendously funny, even if you don't know the "Conjuring" series. Loved the twist at the end as well. Perfect short play to spoof on these tropes, but at the same time there's some effective creepiness as well. A good trick and treat!

Very funny! I am a person who enjoys their specific pop culture references, and boy howdy does this come through with those in spades. But beyond that, there's some enjoyable banter as well. And I was very glad a fellow Brent acquitted himself SOMEWHAT well in all this. In all seriousness, very enjoyable short play by Cross. This would definitely be a hoot to see staged. Check it out and beam me up!
