Christopher Soucy's "bear with me" gives its audience a blissful portrayal as to how life can drastically change in a single moment.

Jacquelyn Floyd-Priskorn's play is clever in how it depicts the tediousness of writing a one-minute play with its metanarrative approach.

Lawing's theme of revenge being carried out in such a playful, yet horrific means is the kind of comedy missing today!

Jaxson Mackling's COMMUNICATION BETWEEN EXES gives us a relatable and messy portrayal of not knowing what the heart wants and how it affects the people around us. The culmination of this conflict leads to a hopeful ending that will have audiences wanting more.

Eytan Deray's SIX FEET AWAY feels like a distant memory since it takes place in the midst of the pandemic (which some would say we're still in), but it's timely given that it beautifully encapsules the need for connection.

Morey Norkin's REWIND is the perfect short "Twilight Zone" inspired play for anyone to produce! It takes an innocent environment and spares no time in unnerving the audience.

Wendy Vogel's DURING/AFTER is a look at how the choices we make in life come back to haunt us. But, instead of following the traditional route of redemption, we are left with the idea of regret being something we choose to let influence our future. It's like "It's a Wonderful Life" meets "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind." The complexities of this play make it captivating.

Olivia Haller serves as a modern-day Wendy Wasserstein with a play that addresses the taboo subject of female sexuality head on without holding back. This play has strong female roles for actors to tackle the subject matter.

Karen Fix Curry's beautifully constructed script offers as complex depiction of a history-making playwright who, even well into her career, juggled with her sense of belonging. Curry writes Wasserstein with precision and fleshes her out so that we as the audience can feel her never-ending search for how to have it all.

The heightened comedy and story elements are well-balanced and make the underlining themes, such as classicism and assimilation, pop out! I would love to see this performed!
