The 10 10-minute plays, divided by one intermission, feature 10 playwrights who, each with remarkable economy, illuminate some aspect of life—in the everyday, in the home or in the news—as we are living it, like it or not, in this 2019 winter of discontent.

The play that ends the first half of the program, 'Pipeline' written by Michael Brady and directed by Julianne Boyd, is utterly moving and effective as three exuberant protestors on the edge of a mountain forest in south Berkshire County are confronted by an actual moment of disaster.

For much of what works, thanks goes to the director, Matthew Penn, who has taken the play to a higher plane than the script calls for.

This year, the seventh, we get to know some writers with delicious senses of humor and some characters we will never forget.
