I'm not even a huge Beatles fan (I know... blasphemy), but you don't have to be in order to enjoy this play. At its core, it's a story about dementia and the slow progression of it, symbolized by one man's core memory of enjoying a strawberry as a child. Evan Baughfman uses an abundance of creativity to balance the nostalgia and science fiction elements of the play.

This is a very heartwarming play with a creative title! This would go well for a short play festival for families.

This is a sweet short play about overcoming anxiety through imagination. The concept of having her toy push Ada into playing with the other kids is creative. This would be great for a family-friendly play festival.

Usually with plays about puppets, they either go mushy or dark (with no in-between). Brenton Kniess is able to find it the perfect middle ground: absurd and heartwarming. It’s the combination I never knew I needed to see.

I love when playwrights have the courage to adapt Shakespeare and put his work into a modern frame (like James Ijames' "Fat Ham" a few years ago). Like Ijames, Marshall Logan Gibbs has breathed new life into another one of Shakespeare's known tragedies. Gibbs' script brilliantly satirizes the people that have this 21st century desire of seeking fame at whatever cost, and what happens when they get their much-needed poetic justice.

"Autistic Doula" is a wonderfully written monologue that addresses many lived experiences we as autistic people are familiar with that don't get enough attention by society.

H. Avery has written one of the most brilliant criticisms of what it means to be able-bodied I have ever read. It effortlessly makes you uncomfortable so that the underlying message is portrayed effectively.

H. Avery's monologue is a poignant look at how necessary it is to stand up for oneself in a society not made for everyone.

"Song and Dance Man" is a bittersweet love letter for mothers who want nothing but the best for their children.

"Back From the Dead" incorporates fresh storytelling and old school theatricality to present a well-devised horror piece that would look great on stage.
