SnowGlobed

The fifth iteration of SnowGlobed is a medley of 10-minute plays written by local playwrights, some of which are pretty good and two of which are great. Distrust of and hatred for the wealthy united the shorts thematically. The first two plays—one about a divorced couple trying to split Christmas and the other about the sad life of a Christmastide evergreen—were basically SNL bits that didn't escalate quickly enough. After the slow start, though, the company really brought it. "White Kwanzaa (an appropriation comedy)," by Nicky Davis, was straight up gold (two misguided white couples celebrate Kwanzaa), but Kelleen Conway Blanchard's "Rats & Roaches" was the best 10 minutes of theater I witnessed that evening.
