  • Held Momentarily

    Hayet delivers another absurd moment in time but all is probable. Playing with the superhero motif, crowd control, and villains, the play has many avenues. Many station stops. And many endings. Find them if you can.
  • LIGHT

    “ I just want to act in plays.” And so it begins. The punishment of actors cast in horrid sit com pilots. Satire? Yes. Truth? Maybe. An original look at “behind the scenes” with maybe more truths than we theatricals want to admit.

    It shouldn’t be funny. It’s funny. Very. Timely. And if you are obsessed with news, you’ve seen this play pan out on the local level. Designed for an online production, the play will hit you where you live. Karekan gives us theatre when there is no theatre and gives us a lot to ponder.
  • Survival Strategy
    22 Mar. 2020
    Hoke gives us a gentle reminder that humans are tactile, hugs are not always sexual and kindness is always welcome - even when awkward. As I read this “in the time of social distancing,” I note how many people miss closeness. It’s a highly theatrical play as you watch the moments change and will resonate with all audiences. Because Hoke found a truth.
  • George Orwell’s 1989: A “Swift” 10 Minute Adaptation
    21 Mar. 2020
    Hayet always finds comedy comic gold. Relatable through all the generations, the play combines our pop culture with our culture of celebrity and then again with Orwell’s dystopian future. And it works!
  • REACH
    21 Mar. 2020
    Twilight Zone has met its match. Absurd, silly, sci-fi, cosplay - nothing is sacred here. And if you reach the Reach Motel - don’t over-reach. You may wind up with a room with a possum or these characters. Zany, nonsensical fun.
  • Imagine That
    19 Mar. 2020
    Filled with illogic and absurd moments, Webb finds sense in the nonsense. Imagine That shines a crooked light on the nature of belief in our society and even when it is turns wicked, Webb gives us heart. The fast-paced, whacky moments build until you are so engaged, you’re rooting for everyone - especially the Alligator.
  • Mr.Picman (Short Play)
    19 Mar. 2020
    Silly and sex. Cavanaugh brings them together in a myriad of imaginative ways. Just when you think you know where the play is going, it twists and just gets sillier. Mr. Picman provided me with much needed laughter and I so would love a second scene. The women’s roles are both gems. It’s a treat for audiences.
  • Believers

    Right from the top of the play, you are engaged by the snap, crackle and pop of the dialogue and it only gets better. With equal parts of sci fi, satire, and a fairy tale (with some insane Biblical passages thrown in for good measure), this is screwball comedy done to the hilt. And those muskrats, and locusts, and frogs- oh my! Take a walk on the zany side and let this play into your life. Nutty and delicious.
  • Stonehenge
    17 Mar. 2020
    I love a play that takes me to many places. Milton mixes silly with romance and then adds just the right amount of the philosophical to deliver a play that is as light as a confection but with substance. Combining Stonehenge with love and family has given me a new appreciation of the ancient wonder. What a delight this would be onstage.
