This play is adorable and sweet and funny. An entirely believable last-minute before a wedding ceremony scramble and some lovely reminders from the rabbi about what is truly important (which every couple that is getting married needs to hear).

So creepy and everything that could go wrong does go wrong. But I like how Dawes maintains the "rules" of the world her characters are working with regarding touching and different simulations. I love that one character is more into this as an actor and backstory, etc. while the other is simply in it to do it. Fantastic ten minute!

This snapshot of the now commonplace experiences of our children was shattering. How can they possibly be growing up with this? Kaplan kicks our guts with this understated piece.

This is a hilarious play from the point of view of animals. Burdick does an excellent job of poking fun at some man-made inventions that his animals have adopted in a loving and comedic way.

An excellent nod to "A Christmas Carol" while watching a family deal with the loss of the matriarch for the first time at the holidays. A lovely funny ending.

A very disturbing and creepy play. Duncan does an excellent job of imagining the backstory of the Orlando shooter and unearths many uncomfortable social situations for the audience to consider.

A poignant play about the closure that the living need after a death of a loved one, even closure for the dog. I love the way that Jeffrey uses dog dreams as a tool to see into his wife's life.

A truly heartbreaking play as the audience watches the mother struggle with her conscience and her desire to hear her son's voice again, even if it's private. Donna does an excellent job of making the pain real and deep.

This script ripped my heart right out as I watched the difficult identity struggles and how the lead character had to interact with society. Seen at Keen Theatre Company.

This was a heart-wrenching play that presented a very relevant question of what actually happened. And it is left up to the audience to decide as they hear each character talk about themselves, their perceptions, their past, their views of themselves. I saw this at Manhattan Theatre Club and it was AMAZING!
