    This is the sort of play I love seeing about trans kids and their families - not perfect parents, or horrific parents, but parents and siblings doing their best to understand and affirm. Simple and sincere in the best way possible.

    A tightly contained work of psychological horror. Casey and Ned show how, no matter how teachers work to make the classroom relevant to students lives, students - especially middle school age like Casey - are still strongly informed and influenced by their families.

    A fast, funny three-hander with a sharp emotional core. Balances absurdist comedy with a clever sci-fi twist that reframes everything.

    A sharp, fast-paced satire that lands every punch. Dan West spins a hilarious premise into a biting commentary on art, commerce, and the illusion of control. The dialogue crackles, the stakes escalate beautifully, and the ending hits with perfect absurdity.

    A poignant, expertly crafted exploration of family legacy and the meaning of home
    . Set on Michigan’s Grand Traverse Bay, the play balances sharp humor with a moving look at aging and class. Its heartwarming twist - where caretakers preserve history - is masterful. With rich roles for diverse ages, it’s a stellar choice for any theater seeking a resonant, character-driven drama.

    Like the maze itself, full of trap doors and surprise twists that seem obvious once they're revealed. Valuable life lessons regarding Hercules and heroes.

  • Marus Anet: LITTLE CABIN ON THE DARK PRAIRIE by Brent Alles
    “

    Little Cabin on the Dark Prairie is a gripping gothic horror that transforms a familiar frontier home into a space of mounting dread. With strong pacing, vivid atmosphere, and grounded character work, the play builds tension with precision. Its restrained introduction of the supernatural allows fear to emerge organically, making it a compelling, ensemble-driven piece that fully embraces theatrical suspense.

    An intriguing and entertaining take on the meaning and purpose of life and how one goes about answering those questions.

    Clever word play that somehow manages to skewer commercialism and the "Christ in Christmas" crowd in one go. Several lines were funny enough to make me spit out my drink.
