    An excellent tale that conjures up the same praise worthy of Gothic literature. Neil Radtke's use of vignettes adds to the complexity of the piece and keeps the audience intrigued. Ashes, Indiana is well worth the read. How marvelous to have a new ghost story!

    Cleverly written, The Shill illustrates ethics in action. Should one save their own skin? Or sacrifice for the good of many? Greg Mandryk’s wild humor never disappoints. A spectacularly warped piece and 100% worth a read. Hooray!

    A fantastic interwoven tale, The Thing That Happened illustrates tragedy while thoroughly engrossing its audience. Through horror, kindness, fear, and love we see how the devastation of one day can touch so many. You will be moved, touched and amused.

    There’s nothing like a good dose of sick twisted humor. And we get killer throwbacks? Plus quick banter? Sandy’s Gift truly delivers. Greg Mandryk, thank you for the laugh.

    Cassie Strickland Is Not Under the Bed is a fantastic display of tragedy. The haunts of past mistakes are showcased through childhood fear that manifests as real horror. This piece not only keeps you lingering in suspense, but delivers a jump scare extraordinaire. Well done!

  • Julie Grixlen: Medusa of Newtown Square by Dan West
    “

    Medusa of Newtown Square is a playfully dark piece that pairs Greek mythology and suburban life with no character truly able to escape the ridiculousness of their worlds. Characters remain oblivious (intentionally and unintentionally), while others dare to point out the obvious. Definitely an entertaining read.

  • Julie Grixlen: The Trench by Dan West
    “

    A fantastic play in which the reader/audience is more than just a spectator. One is immersed in the trench with its characters, alongside them as they question faith, reality and morality. Is it the sacrifice of oneself, the stranger or the vulnerable that’s better for the greater good? I thoroughly enjoyed reading the piece. Very good.
