  • Kathy Rasmussen: An Institution

    An Institution is guaranteed to make you feel uncomfortable and reflect upon what your own reaction/action would be when faced with a situation that has severe consequences. It will definitely have you cheering for the underdog, especially at the end!

  • Kathy Rasmussen: Red Creek Mercy

    Tough circumstances made for tough choices in the 1870's American West. The story of Red Creek Mercy is one example of such a choice. Water was scarce, a precious commodity to be savored at all costs. Red Creek Mercy provides an interesting historical dilemma that will challenge your thoughts on western justice. Joe Swenson clearly demonstrates the toll that the swift, street "justice" of this era took on families. It will make you question your own moral conscience and the lengths you might go to satisfy your thirst for vengeance. Very nicely done!

  • Kathy Rasmussen: Camping Rough

    Shaun and Zubin are delightful characters who will make you smile. The dialogue is witty, well-paced, and educational-I even learned a new word! This was an entertaining read, and I could easily envision it on stage in real time.

  • Kathy Rasmussen: #2. (A 10-minute comedy)

    The contradiction in this piece is hilarious! From Martha Stewart to....you know.....Wow. I shook my head, I covered my mouth-all while giggling. What a fun and, dare I say, thought provoking read!

  • Kathy Rasmussen: The Doorbell

    A lot happens in just ten minutes in The Doorbell. I was invested from the start and sad to see it end. I love a good cliffhanger, and this definitely left me wanting more!

  • Kathy Rasmussen: To Fetch a Pail of Water

    What a fun spin on the classic Jack and Jill. Any age performer or audience member will get a kick out of this adaptation. The word play will have everyone laughing and smiling!

  • Kathy Rasmussen: Cupid Agonistes (One Act)

    One surprise after another throughout, as this well paced one act progressed. The depth of the characters developed rapidly and with stark contrast. I am amazed at Paul Donnelly's expertise in developing the shallow character of Brook! Truly a master of the craft.

  • Kathy Rasmussen: The Sisterhood of the White Horses

    The plot twist in this still has me questioning how far some of us will go to claim abundance. This is a thought-provoking piece and I enjoyed it!

  • Kathy Rasmussen: Bad Horses

    When I saw the title of this play, I immediately thought of a mare I once had. I was not disappointed! I loved this fun play with great dialogue and would love to read a sequel. SO many questions!
