The plays
Piece by Piece
“The best of the lot…a fine, poignant piece of writing that tackles thorny questions in sensitive, perceptive ways.”
Lynn Slotkin, CIUT and The Slotkin Letter
“raw, believable theatre…The show will make you laugh, make you squirm – make you wonder and make you think.”

“This playwright knows her canapés! If you’ve been yearning to see a well-made comedy again - you know, the kind with a beginning, middle and end and a whole lot of laughs in between - then you ought to run, not walk, to The Catering Queen .”
