Burch gives us an edgy alternate take on jolly old Saint Nick in "Santa the Clause". In a Godfather-esque fashion, the story paints a picture of how Santa truly feels about how the big corporate toy companies are taking the spotlight from him. With his chronie Beedle the Elf by his side, the dialogue is hilarious and entertaining throughout as they as they give Mr. Hargraves an offer he can't refuse. Highly recommended!

Ava Love Hanna's "Secondhand Soul" is a delightful play with a hilarious take on mistaken identity. And while humor may be prevalent throughout, Hanna keeps heart as the driving force of the story. This snapshot of Em and Vi's relationship reveals so much about their love for each other in only 10 pages. Funny and charming! Highly recommended to read or produce!

In "Ain't the Biggest City, Straton Rushing gives us a play of secrets that get revealed gradually, page by page.

A fantastically written crime drama! Highly recommended!

McClain has found a perfect balance within this dark comedy. The situation is hilarious and the Tooth Fairy character enhances the dark humor through her dialogue and actions. These poor parents had no idea their absent-mindedness towards their daughter's lost tooth was gonna piss off such a feisty fairy! A great little comedic tale for any theatres out there wanting audiences with hurt sides from laughing so hard!

Scott has masterfully written a beautiful moment of someone crossing over. While the personification of Death is often times written as a dark and menacing figure, Scott's version of Death is compassionate to its passenger. The dialogue floats in and out of playfulness and sadness and every word feels honest for the characters. Highly recommended!

This script is a fascinating character study and John Mabey thoroughly did his part in bringing this real life event to the page. He took this historically documented moment and sculpted believable dialogue for these two characters in a remarkable way. Mabey is a master of his craft and did a wonderful job honoring Willem's plea "Let it be known".

We produced an audio play version of this script in our Season 4 line-up (https://www.gatherbytheghostlight.com/s4e4). John Mabey has an uncanny ability to tackle important topics in his plays that keep you thinking after you're finished reading. "Playing with Dolls" addresses gender stereotypes and racial identity within a story about two strangers connecting to exchange toy dolls for their kids. The beauty of this script also comes from the small glimpse we get of this meeting of men which will surely develop into a friendship between the two strangers. Highly recommended for reading or producing!

Hayet has built a story filled with nostalgia, humor, and tenacity. Hugo's passion for holding on to Christmas year round is the perfect contrast to the opposing character, Maya, and Hayet unfolds the story in such a way that you are pulling for both of them. And just like the year round Christmas Store in this script, this is a play that you don't have to wait for the holiday season to produce. It's relevant year round!

We had the privilege of producing this script as an audio play on the Gather by the Ghost Light podcast (https://www.gatherbytheghostlight.com/s4e1). In this play, Minigan gives us believable characters that you can 100% feel their connection the more they speak to each other. His use of a true site specific location backed up by the history of the two local swans, Romeo and Juliet, is such a creative touch that adds even more realism to this work of beautiful fiction. Highly recommended for any theatres wanting to produce thoughtful romantic comedies that will touch your heart!
