Planning a queer wedding is hard enough for Micah (John Grote) and Andre (Stephen Woosley, not pictured) even without also dealing with the loss of an older brother. Luckily, Maggie (Tara Banks) will always be the best older sister Micah could ever ask for, in "Birdseed" by John Mabey.

Payday Pete (Jim Azelvandre) in “George of the Dead” by Mark Dubovec, listening with some confusion and concern to Suzanne (Colleen Kochensparger) and her undead husband George (David Gigliotti) pitch him some movie scripts.

Dani (Nicki Hoyt) thought her life was bad when her anxiety and late-night worries manifested as a horrible creature (Susie McGarry) in Greg A. Smith's "The Creature at the End of the Bed," but when the creature falls asleep, it might have its OWN monster to deal with (Caroline Thoma, not pictured).

Hamsters' lives can be so dramatic! Waffles (Colleen Kochensparger) thought it was bad enough that Holly (Jaye Hughes) got hungry and started eating her own babies, but now Walter (Casey May, not pictured) has jumped off the wheel to attack Herbie (Dallas Ray-Macke) for comments about who is the fitter hamster, and now Herbie's not getting up...in Mark Harvey Levine's "Holly and Herbie and Walter and Waffles."

In every permutation of the timeline, Simon (Stephen Woosley) just can't make things work with Juliet (Dalia Natour). No matter what complicated math he works out, either Juliet marries Rob (Casey May, feet seen here) or Simon and Juliet end up addicted to crack cocaine. It's simply "Inevitable," by Bethany Dickens Assaf.

Prometheus (John Grote, not pictured here but pictured if one scrolls down to TR#2 pix) and the Eagle (Colleen Kochensparger) patiently listening to Deedra (Caroline Rose Thoma) needle Bethany the Temp (Dalia Natour) in just another day at the liver-pecking office in "Temp Torment" by Christopher Lockheardt.

Second dates are always rough. Second dates that take place directly after his grandmother's funeral are even rougher. Second dates that also involve Hallie (Kyle Jepson) meeting the boy (Joe Liles, not pictured)'s parents (Nicki Hoyt and David Gigliotti) and discussing her sex life WITH those parents, AT the church, are probably the roughest, but as they say, ashes to ashes, "Ducks to Dust" (by Dallas Ray-Macke).

O. M. G.! The impossible happened, and Jane (Tara Banks) has scored a DATE with her longtime crush. The only problem? Her roommate Jane (Sharifa Andrews)...more specifically, the enormous autographed photograph Jane has chosen to adorn the guest bathroom of their apartment. Will Maggie be able to achieve her goal of "Nixin' Nixon" (by Elisabeth Giffin Speckman) before her dream guy comes over for their date?

What should Kelsey (Nicki Hoyt) do when she suspects her teenage son Godfrey (Casey May) might be involved with something violent and dangerous, but he feels it's necessary to stop something worse from happening, in Greg Vovos' "Adult in the Room"?

For the clerk (Susie McGarry), it's another day of mind-numbing bureaucracy, eating dried seaweed, and working with the undead. For new Zombie (Dallas Ray-Macke) who needs to get registered and old Vampire (Joe Liles) who needs to renew some forms, it's a waiting room full of species-specific prejudice and grudges in "The Dead Debate" by Ben Wayne.

Rebecca (Kyle Jepson) exasperated by Sloane (Colleen Kochensparger)'s gaslighting ways--and, even worse, their hip waders--in "Wishes" by Mark Harvey Levine.

What a cute couple, celebrating the first storm in their new house with a little Ouija board time in "Secondhand Soul" by Ava Love Hanna...but wait...did Vi (Sharifa Andrews) sell her girlfriend Em (Aran Morris)'s soul to a Damon (Stephen Woosley) on Facebook Marketplace?!

EEK! So much WHITE after LABOR DAY!!! Oh, but the Monster (Frances Diederich) itself? The Person (Jaclyn "J" Hughes) in Eric Shook's "The Monster Over Your Shoulder" is not impressed.

How is The Hammer (Caroline Rose Thoma) supposed to convince Bird Girl (Briana Harger) to simply Get Over her depression and fight the skyscraper-sized tentacled monstrosity Octo-Doom in Bethany Dickens Assaf's "Bird Girl and The Hammer"?!

A beautiful family portrait with Kyle Jepson (L) as Mia, John Quigley (R) as The Demon, and Kevin (middle) as himself in Mark Dubovec's "Your Child, The Devil, and You."

Prometheus (John Grote), Bethany the Temp (Matthew Pino), Deedra (Caroline Rose Thoma), and the Eagle (Dana Bauman) from "Temp Torment" by Christopher Lockheardt, posing backstage for their boy band album cover.

Zoey (Dana Bauman) was very surprised to learn that the titular "Little Black Dress" in John Mabey's play was not in Doug (John Quigley)'s closet because her husband was cheating on her, but because her husband is actually transitioning to be her wife!
