True Will is a wickedly funny and smart historical satire. William Triplett weaves the mysterious Rudolf Hess affair with the creation of Blythe Spirit and the exotic mystic Crowley in a hilarious invention. It is a multi-layered comedy filled with meaty roles for its actors. A perfect pairing with Blythe Spirit or any play set early in the Second World War. Expect laughter.

"Out of This World" is a very clever look at our obsession with sweets- and what that can mean for our fragile species. With the inventors of chocolate bent on human domination, it falls to a few intrepid people to resist the siren call of cacao and restore freedom to the planet. Satire at its sweetest.

"The Rental" is a hilarious exploration of what we want versus what we need. I happily agree with Asher Wyndham that Mark Harvey Levine's concept is genius. In just ten minutes Sonya learns lessons that some people take decades to discover. This is a hilarious play with heart from start to finish.

This compelling story has a surprise finish that drew a tear to my eyes. The wedding takes place in an extraordinary way, in circumstances most of us would not dare imagine. Faith, hope, and love are on display and the bittersweet becomes simply sweet. Merlio has created an incredibly detailed short play. Give it a read.

Great fun in the pines of this story. Ghost stories and wonder permeate this wonderful tale. A charming exploration of the power of the stories of our youth over our older selves. If you're not laughing from the dedication through the end, check for a pulse.

You will question your perceptions of reality. The surreal comes to life and you are left spinning. The disorienting effect feels like madness. Perfect for groups that obliterate the separation between audience and actor.

A striking look at the intricacies of family relations and the way the shock and pain suicide ripples through a survivor. The power of this play is in the embracing of how different people build their truths and the friction between those constructs. This play demands versatility from its actors.

King Lear meets the Cardassians (you know who I really mean, I refuse to give them the pleasure) with $250 million at stake. Everett Robert's scorching comedy is a brilliant wish-fulfiller where everyone gets what they deserve in equal measure. The commentary on our culture is biting and fun. Enjoy!

So much depends upon recreating their late mother's Christmas ham. Nothing in the world is more important. Do not fear, because Santa Claus is coming to town. This witty look at a family in crisis is delightfully fun. A good tonic for a troubled world.

Horrifying. Disturbing. A six page peek into the hell we've made.
