A Snake with a Ladder
Written by Nick Maynard
Directed by Brad Van Grack
With Sam Intrater, Laura Hubbard, Zachary Van Grack
Eve is contemplating an apple in the Garden of Eden when a snake named Brian appears... And he has a ladder.
“Who knew the Garden of Eden was so beautiful, treacherous, and the setting for such frivolity? ”
“I loved Laura Hubbard’s amusingly clueless Eve. ”
“Adam (Sam Entrater) and Eve (Laura Hubbard) were by turns, innocent - after snacking on the infamous apple – embarrassed, and testy. Both conveyed the emotions brilliantly. ”
“Brian, the ssssnake/devil, (Zachary Van Grack) was slimy and hilarious as he wormed his way into Eve’s heart. ”
“Loved Brian’s (the Snake) subtle swagger. ”
Three Rings, No Diamonds
Written by D.W. Gregory
Directed by Morris Schorr
With Jerzy Jung, Adam Fox
A relationship coach encounters her most difficult client, a real guy kind of guy — the kind of guy who is not shy about being a guy — meaning he's desperately in need of her counsel, which he'll probably ignore.
“The relationship coach (Jerzy Jung) kept a tight lid on her feelings, managing not to roll her eyes at her clueless client. The client (Adam Fox) made us doubt that he would ever ‘get it’. ”
“Both actors were both completely believable and effortlessly funny. ”
Seven-Point-Five on Average
Written by Kathryn Ryan
Directed by Kristina Lloyd
With Doug Engalla, Patricia Ferguson
As two moderately unhappy attorneys put the finishing touches on their clients’ contentious divorce agreement, their negotiation takes a surprising turn.
“Whoever heard of two divorce lawyers being so nice to each other? And flirting so outrageously?”
“The attorney for her (Doug Engalla) and the attorney for him (Patricia Ferguson), in their high-rise/high-class office building, served both their clients and themselves with knowing glances and gentle humor. I’d like to hire them for my next divorce!”
“This is the definition of “subtext.” Ms. Ryan and Ms. Lloyd (and the actors) expressed something ulterior through the legal wording. They are on opposite sides, representing combative parties at the end of a relationship, but out of that is this new beginning. Brilliant! ”
Diane Does It!
Written by John McEnerney
Directed by Guy Kapulnik
With Sarah Brackett, Sean Dube
As Diane prepares for her first marathon, she considers how to deal with the man she has dated for ten years when there is no marriage proposal in sight.
“Long-suffering Diane (Sarah Brackett) – always the girlfriend, never the fiancée – finally loses her patience with the charming but indecisive Albert (Sean Dube) in this clever tale of a fateful day in a marathon relationship. ”
“Enjoyed the youthful and wonderfully energetic Diane (Sarah Brackett) and her true love Albert (Sean Dube). ”
“Beautifully directed and acted! ”
