But What Do We Do with the Plane?
Two terrorists are primed to steer an aircraft into the Capitol Building as a deadly statement to America when they receive news that it's already been covered by a different group of terrorists. Now, they must decide what to do with this passenger liner they've taken control of so that they don't harm their friends on the ground.
"Sharp as a knife and blisteringly funny [...] Like throwing a bag of fireworks on a dumpster fire, the result is chaotically funny and fun as hell"
"... a timely play with brilliantly constructed characters that create tons of opportunities for actors of all backgrounds [...] Highly recommend."
​
"Tricca has crafted this play with such delicacy and care that the satire works just perfectly and is wrapped up in a way guaranteed to make any audience laugh at the pure ridiculousness of the whole situation."

Lisa figured taking Aiden home with her from a party would be straightforward enough. After all, they've been talking for a month now and she's getting all the signs. As it turns out, though, there's a web of confusion she has to overcome before they get on the same page.
"A witty, incisive piece about two college kids trying to navigate their burgeoning maybe-could-be-a-relationship. The pacing is precise, the humor is top-notch, and the characters will keep you hooked until the last lines."
​
"The fast pacing keeps the reader engaged and the humor and talking over each other creates a very natural feel and flow of dialogue. Each of the characters are given a lot of depth that helps you to understand their point of views more and develops them as complex individuals in a short period of time."
