The eight courses, served at roughly 10-minute intervals, in Little Fish Theatre’s short-play festival are not unlike Thanksgiving dinner with your grandparents: There are some buttery, wonderful mashed potatoes and a deliciously spiced homemade pumpkin pie, but the bulk of the meal — green bean casserole, canned cranberry sauce and steamed asparagus — is a bit bland and banal, if nostalgically comforting.

Ingrid Wilmot – Will Call
SWEET
I may not be able to speak about previous years but this year their selections are superb. The eight short plays are all packed with laughs, originality and heartwarming moments.

All together they are a demonstration that playwriting is still a living, breathing art-form.
