  • For a Limited Time Only (The Bread Play) by Daniel Prillaman
    9 May. 2024
    “ We produced an audio play version of this script in the Season 4 line-up of the Gather by the Ghost Light podcast (https://www.gatherbytheghostlight.com/s4e17). Prillaman has brilliantly tied together romance, horror, and comedy in this twisty and sometimes absurd story. We often hear the phrase "unlimited deal" advertised by restaurants and Prillaman does a crafty job of showing us what it would look like if this phrase was taken literally. Very well written and highly recommended! ”

  • Immersion Therapy by David MacGregor
    25 Mar. 2024
    “ We produced an audio play version of this script in our season 4 line-up on the Gather by the Ghost Light podcast (https://www.gatherbytheghostlight.com/s4e15). David MacGregor is a master of clever comedy and that talent shines like the brass of a clown horn in his play "Immersion Therapy". He takes us on a comedic journey as Melissa overcomes her fear of clowns by having to confront it face to face. Literally. MacGregor also craftily makes us feel sympathy for Droppo the clown as his feelings surface through the comedic situation. Well written! Great dialogue! Highly recommended! ”
  • Santa Doesn't Live Here Anymore by Patrick Gabridge
    22 Mar. 2024
    “ We produced an audio play version of this script in our Season 4 line-up on the Gather by the Ghost Light podcast (https://www.gatherbytheghostlight.com/s4e14). How do you break the news to your 30 year old son who still believes in Santa that Santa isn't real? In this script, Gabridge gives us his take on that very situation and you can tell he had a lot of fun writing it while doing it! The play opens mildly enough but then turns into nonstop laughter as it's revealed the son is a grown man who still believes. Highly recommended! ”
  • Santa the Clause by Ron Burch
    21 Mar. 2024
    “ We produced an audio play version of this script in the season 4 line-up of the Gather by the Ghost Light podcast (https://www.gatherbytheghostlight.com/s4e13). 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! ”

    “ We produced an audio version of this script in our season 4 line-up of the Gather by the Ghost Light podcast (https://www.gatherbytheghostlight.com/s4e10). 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! ”

    19 Mar. 2024
    “ We produced an audio play version of this script in our season 4 line-up on the Gather by the Ghost Light podcast ( https://www.gatherbytheghostlight.com/s4e9). In "Ain't the Biggest City, Straton Rushing gives us a play of secrets that get revealed gradually, page by page.

  • Tooth Or Dare by Emily McClain
    8 Mar. 2024
    “ We produced an audio play version of this script in our Season 4 line-up on the Gather by the Ghost Light podcast (https://www.gatherbytheghostlight.com/s4e7). 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! ”
  • Wheel of Fortune Reversed by Scott Sickles
    6 Mar. 2024
    “ We produced an audio version of this play on the Gather by the Ghost Light podcast (https://www.gatherbytheghostlight.com/s4e6). 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! ”
