KNIFE TO THE HEART a play by Stan Zimmerman & Christian McLaughlin
|
Reviews "WOW! Entertaining and unexpectedly touching. Co-writers Stan Zimmerman and Christian McLaughlin are expects at sitcom setup and punch. Zimmerman directs with pizzazz. With it's stellar cast and clever writing, the equal parts and amusing Knife To The Heart is (excuse the pun) a cut above the standard sitcom fare" - Steven Stanley, Stage Scene LA. Knife To The Heart Hit's A BULLEYE! "Stan Zimmerman and Christian McLaughlin keep the one-liners and puns steadily coming to make a fast-paced one-act" - Broadway World Los Angeles |
MEET & GREET a comedy play by Stan Zimmerman & Christian McLaughlin
4 actresses (of a certain age) are all up for the same part in a new sitcom pilot. At the network casting office, old rivalries come to the surface, egos clash, and a shocking revelation forces them to question their entire existences.

"Highlighted with brilliant acting, writing and directing MEET AND GREET is bound to be one of the biggest hits at this year’s Fringe." - Shari Barrett, Broadway World.
To paraphrase Daily Variety: A+ CAST PLUS BOFFO SCRIPT EQUALS FRINGE FEST SMASH.” Steven Stanley, "Writers Stan Zimmerman (The Golden Girls, Roseanne, The Gilmore Girls and The Brady Bunch) and Christian McLaughlin (Married with Children, Desperate Housewives) took the season to a new level of distinction with this offering harnessing the power of experience, good taste, timing and bullet-proof talent. It was a stunning performance!” – Tracey Paleo |
Yes, Virginia
Set in upscale Bloomfield Hills, Michigan, the play is a realistic two-hander that deals with issues of aging, marital disappointments, living alone and a young man’s death. All leavened with a generous dose of humor.

"Playwright/director Stan Zimmerman and playwright Christian McLaughlin got it right with this humorous, laugh-out-loud production. Great actresses at their best in a smartly-written, hysterical show." - Mary E. Montoro, All About The Stage
"The script is warm and natural, with humor gracefully woven through the dialog. Zimmerman and McLaughlin deftly remind us that even women outside of the large urban centers can empower themselves." - Michael Van Duzer, Showmag "Yes, Virginia’s small cast and terrific roles should make it popular with actresses of a certain age. Combine that with the play’s comfortably topical themes, and you have a show that should see many regional theater productions." - Showmag |
The Phacts of Life
A theatrical staging of real episodes from the TV Sitcom.
|
"Under Christian McLaughlin & Tom Booker’s direction, the bare-bones send-up has a shark-like drive: three episodes of the Eighties NBC sitcom Facts of Life presented in their entirety. Though anarchistic and conceivably incendiary to those sweet souls who actually revere the TV series, the decibel levels of audience enjoyment indicate that some cagey investor stands to make a bundle by steering this demented crew into Real Live Brady Bunch territory." - David Nichols, Los Angeles Times |
