The General is a gem.

Peter and George are utterly believable as characters and a couple. They have incorporated one another into their lives, and display a detailed history. The complication is understandable and the resolution heartfelt, even gentle.

If you're looking for a depiction of love that does not fall into the common tropes, look here. It has a couple that has an honest-to-goodness love story, a tremendously vivid sense of place, and characters to root for.

It's an ode to contentment, which is as powerful, if not more powerful, than joy. This character is fulfilled, happy with life the way it is, they way they've made it.

So much drama focuses on what happens while you don't have what you want. This is a warm glimpse into a life unencumbered.

I love how things get honest and more than a moderate amount of ego goes on display. There's something wonderfully Pythonic about the unravelling playwright's words. Who knows, perhaps the seven-hour play went well?

It's a delightful twist on the most potentially awkward moment in a young couple's life. Parents meeting the new person can be such a minefield in "normal" circumstances, but Feeny-Williams' creative take here is just plain fun. It's an allegory for anyone who has to deal with judgemental parents. Well done!

This family scene is incredibly well drawn. It is clear from the first moment that these are siblings, complete with the attendant history, love, and incidents. Caleb and Haley are in a difficult moment, but it has been a life replete with those. The main question, the student loan, helps reveal a lovely relationship. Whatever happens in this scene or its fallout, these two will still be close when the smoke clears.

Yup, that's what it is like. The interplay between symptomatic thinking and actual nature is difficult to dramatize, and I believe Kyle Smith has done it well.

This is an immensely endearing work with two fun parts. The relationship between mother and daughter is clearly drawn and this packs a lot of heart. The scene is meticulously balanced between the actresses, and is a characterization delight. Enjoy!

Save Hamlet! is a full-on hoot. If the enemy of Shakespeare is Bardolatry, then Hamlet is its sacred cow. Save Hamlet! makes some fun burgers from that sacred cow, poking continuous fun at archaic language, poor decision making on the part of the characters, and, GASP, details not well planned out by Shakespeare. Of particular fun is the exhortation to exit and avoid a bear. Good fun!

Itch is insightful and hilarious. Actors and directors will find four parts with dynamic action. The family dynamics are fully developed and the collisions between the roles are filled with life. Perfect for a company looking for a fast-paced comedy with teeth. Bravo!

It's a hilarious look at those moments in life when you look around and say "why am I here," punctuated by the satirical skewering of two virtue-signalling cheerleaders.

I swear Adam Szymkowicz went back in time and spied on my High School brain (with more clarity than would have been able at that time) for the character of Peter. Bravo!
