A stylized semi-poem exploring the different ethic identities of four women. Each character represents a point of view, and voices her challenges with intersectionality. A lovely short play that reflects the times in which we live.

Thal's enchanting interpretation of cat logic and cat language truly captures the unique relationship between humans and cats. Somehow, Omi the Cat's explanation of the physical universe makes perfect sense. I'd love to spend more time with these felines or at least see this show produced. Cerebral but still accessible. A beautiful short play.

A curious interaction between a woman you will undoubtedly recognize and her employee serves as the vehicle for this play about the cost of getting what we want and the ways affluence and fame enslave us. "Mrs." is a particularly well drawn character.

I was intrigued by the play's title (Stubbles' has some fun ones!). A short tongue-in-check farce that relishes in skewering hypocrisy. Four good women's roles and a simple set.

Resonating with many socio-racial issues of our time, this one-act zooms in on how interracial adoption, class, and liberal saviour-ism play out between two families. No easy answers, but a lot to mull over in this moral/ethical/legal puzzler. The post-show conversation will fill your ride home from the theater. Some very nice, dark, and tense moments, too. A real strength of Salsbury's.

A hallmark of Lynn's work is highlighting family dysfunction in all its glorious humor. Arguably, "A Good Man" reveals more about the mother (a wonderful character for a middle-aged actor) whose obtuse view of her family brings both laughs and tears. A small cast and easy production values makes this a solid pick.

In the age of carefully controlled public narratives and high-profile political downfalls, this gem of a play really hits the target. It's everything that's funny about forced and contrived press conferences - only set at a family's Thanksgiving dinner. What a fun play."

A traditional folktale with quippy, contemporary language makes this a play children and young adults will love. Latham is brilliant with lyrical word play (read her adult plays). I especially liked the potential for high-theatricality this play offers. It's a design team's dream, which is another characteristic of Latham's work. I even found myself wondering if this play could be staged with puppets, which I know next to nothing about. Lovely play!

This was such a fun, enjoyable introduction to radio plays for me. I would love to hear this as it was meant to be produced - coming across the airwaves on some cold, dark Halloween night. Burdick does a great job of setting the creepy mood and tone and painting a picture in the mind's eye of gloom and despair - all in wonderful, eerie detail. I was most intrigued with the classic fairy tale witch set in the modern setting of a tattoo parlor. A delightfully disturbing ending, too!

How horribly and humorously wrong can it go when husband and wife have jobs in direct philosophical conflict with one another? Faced with an onslaught of challenges from outside their marriage - from a creepy neighbor to a murderous co-worker to the evil empire of Monsanto - these two weather it all with humor but not a whole lot of grace. I particularly liked how Lynn designed all the roles to be played by two actors. A very funny play with light, snappy dialogue that shows Lynn’s comedic skill at its best.
