It is a comedy about the complexities of a long-term relationship. Ms. Latrice Young with humor and honesty reminds us how small acts can have a huge impact. The ambiguity of the title draws us into the characters’ uncertain world until someone finally has to Zip It.

Steve Martin pens with great craftsmanship a drama about Garret who suffers from his erstwhile self. Past does not belong totally to past, past shapes, to a certain extent, our present lives and this is the case here. His erstwhile self becomes his internal demon. Haunting and introspective! Amazing work.

I repeat I love the symbolism in Jack Levine’s work. The ritual of the coffee, the choice of life or biscuits, the open door that lets the chaos enter. This is a very playful, sensitive and powerful play about the small things that keep us feeling alive within our safety nest. And underneath all, the desperate need for connection. Thank you, Jack.

It’s a thought-provoking play with twist, and a sharp comment on people’s ability to pretend relationships. Funny, with dark humor! I enjoyed every word of it!

I love the symbolism in Jack Levine's work. On the one hand, the skateboard that is the risk, the power, the ability to balance (and its loss), on the other, the quiet joy of blueberry pancakes. The conflict between Amy and Albert is not just a comedy of characters but something deeper. It's the conflict between two different unapologetic ways of existence, that Jack Levine crafts with great care, humor, sensitivity, and condensed wisdom. Thank you.

It is a tender play about grief, loss, and the value of childhood memories. With great sensitivity, Jack Levine takes an everyday event and magnifies it. Thus, the memory is reborn. Through words and recollection, the two brothers revive moments of happiness with their mother, and remake the same cake. Thought-provoking work!

Matthew Weaver crafts a playful piece grounded in physicality. While reading it, I imagined the set and the costumes in black and white, like a silent film. Young audiences will love it, and adults, probably while laughing, will reflect on the consequences of overthinking.

It is a poetic monologue, a harsh yet tender work structured around the childhood trauma of separation. Donald Loftus shows remarkable sensitivity in the way the gap of knowledge is filled with imagined and relentless wonderings. Intimate and immersive.

Mike Byham crafts a tender, minimal and bittersweet play. At the end of the play, I also see thirty-seven bees emerging from my computer. Haunting work!

What an interesting human experiment! What a prototype folding bee dance! The play relies heavily on physicality and can be adapted for all ages. Experimental and symbolic.
