Haas delivers hard truths. Every woman in the audience will understand, every man in the audience needs to listen and do better. "Accurate and maybe kinder than they need to be." Oof. Exceedingly well done.

Ooof. Who HASN'T experienced this sort of heart-stopping experience, when someone you once cared for deeply has no idea who you are? But fortunately, Isaac has found his safe place to share the experience, and his thoughts/revelations about it, in delightful, heartwarming, rapid-fire delivery.
Sickles commands any room, any stage with his firm hold on words and their nuances, and his ERSTWHILE proves the rule once again.

One relationship comes to an end and we witness new beginnings in Weibezahl's charming short, as three characters let their emotional baggage all hang out. Well, two - Jayce seems pretty well put together. Audience members will find much familiar here in this dramatic unraveling.

First of all, the things we ask performers to do during auditions! The patience they have to have!
Secondly, Byham adeptly captures the growing creep of AI (it's bad and you should feel bad). Hopefully this play doesn't capture a moment before humanity falls even further into the abyss. But it probably does. Meanwhile, on the Erstwhile ... ***applause***

A tense motel-room confrontation that's worthy of any Tarantino-esque story. Cast two of your performers who are itchin' for a challenge and watch Kaminski's gift of a play soar.

Here Love sets two poetic events in direct opposition to one another, as an assassin composes a literary work before delivering death. This elegant monologue is steeped in ambiguity, with lots of room for a performer to play on stage. An audience will be as enraptured as we readers.

A play that perfectly captures and embraces the sort-of melancholy that the titular word ERSTWHILE evokes. I like how Brandon and Marine yearn for the innocence of their youth as they smoke a joint and comment on the quality of the weed and its dealer, somehow blissfully unaware of the ways adulthood already creeps up on them. Until suddenly, they're not. And yet ... An elegant offering from Khanna.

History blends with reality blends with dream blends with the past blends with the present. Miller delivers a strong showcase for two women in your performing troupe, open to all sorts of staging and interpretation.

One of my favorite chapters in SIDEWAYS STORIES FROM WAYSIDE SCHOOL is when all the characters try ice cream that tastes like their classmates. Baughfman springs forth from a similar vein with an all-too brief tale packed with nostalgia and sugar and more than a little magic. We expect nothing less from an Evan Baughfman tale in this household!

A love story years in the making! Heyman brings two hearts together amid a sprinkling of magic steeped in nostalgia. A good showcase for two longtime stage mainstays in your troupe.
