My goodness. So many feels. So many turns. Lauren Gunderson creates, no re-creates, a world of sadness and glory and life. What a wonderful theatrical experience! A new format, a new form and a new, but many told, tale. Extraordinary. Brava!

Maggie Kearnan delivers terrific dialogue with good pace and style. A mother daughter duet with a big twist, this slice of life is heartbreaking and hopeful at the same time. The ending is bittersweet and very theatrical. Yummy.

A fast paced, bouncy, happy cooking show with a very dark and dangerous side dish. If revenge is best served cold - this revenge is a steaming spoonful of gag inducing anger. Poor Ethel indeed. High comedy and hi jinks! Well done.

A fascinating study of three women. Friends and companions, they make a voyage through the Big City looking for the important things. We see cultural differences, where we are introduced to stinky tofu and white rice cooked on the brown rice setting. These women also display universal truths and face universal problems and dreams. Very nicely written and paced. This needs production!!!

Reading this in 2024 brings back all the memories of our fear and concern and how we took such steps to avoid each other and the virus. For some luck ones of us, we had family to live with and that kept the loneliness wolf away. But, I can imagine other people, especially those with neuro-divergence and issues, who must have had the most excruciatingly difficult time surviving day to day. Paul Donnelly has provided a snapshot of this experience that rings true, Well done!

Another fine Brent Alles piece to enjoy and ponder. Reading, understanding and, God forbid appreciating Shakespeare sonnets is quite a challenging goal for a self absorbed high school student, but I bet there are a few who privately accept the challenge. This piece evoked the feeling we all have when we grudgingly study the sonnets and slowly acknowledge the beauty and worth in each one. Brent Alles has illustrated a universal truth for us all. Nice!

Good strong confrontation and conversation. The expected twists and turns are here. Well written and nicely paced dialogue. this feels like a short scene in a much larger piece. Very Good start

If you can experience this without going Awww at the end, you need help. Cole Hunter Dzubak has captured the experience of an ex who lost the most syndrome and pushed the sharp end of it into the audience's heart. Poor Ryan. Nicely done.

The challenge of that one minute play - make something happen that is exciting and visual and active and theatrical and wonderful. No small task! Christopher Soucy shows us the way - a master class in this very challenging form. Brava!

Nicely done as usual! It seems so easy to use stock Princess characters with their accompanying Prince and/or King accessory - it's more difficult to use the character we all know and love and add the nuance we all wondered about. Great laughs here and a sweet little twist in the end. But, poor Sheldon!
