Recommendations of Three Miles from Train Tracks, Nine From a Hydrant

  • Dave Osmundsen: Route 84 House Fire: Three Miles from Train Tracks, Nine From a Hydrant

    Mysterious, haunting, and intriguing. When I saw it at the Midwest Dramatists Conference, the audience was enraptured, holding their breath until the final shocking line of the play.

  • Adam Seidel: Route 84 House Fire: Three Miles from Train Tracks, Nine From a Hydrant

    This is a creepy, fantastic, suspenseful play that is good to the last drop. Cannot recommend this enough.

  • Everett Robert: Route 84 House Fire: Three Miles from Train Tracks, Nine From a Hydrant

    I saw this at the Midwest Dramatists Conference in Kansas City and DEAR GOD THIS PLAY IS AMAZING! From the beginning I was held and enraptured by this powerful story of a young girl recounting what happened (maybe) when her rural farm house burned down. Powerful and moving, this is a great piece for a young female actor. Cannot recommend this play enough.

  • Robert Lynn: Route 84 House Fire: Three Miles from Train Tracks, Nine From a Hydrant

    The best 10-minute plays bring you characters whose richness suggest a depth outside of the tiny piece you're getting. This is one of those. A complete piece about a girl whose life is so much worse than the house fire she just experienced. This one will stay with you.

  • Asher Wyndham: Route 84 House Fire: Three Miles from Train Tracks, Nine From a Hydrant

    This haunting account of a farmhouse fire by a young woman is riveting. Her account is far scarier than most festival horror plays. And that account is riveting more for what it reveals about herself, her family life and relationship with her father, and her interaction with the Fire Marshal than the actual fire. The character feels so believable from a perspective of naturalism but also unlike any girl you've met before because the play comes across as this Midwestern Gothic-meets-Horror play. What Salsbury achieves in a few pages, her ability to create such a compelling personality is...

  • Kelly McBurnette-Andronicos: Route 84 House Fire: Three Miles from Train Tracks, Nine From a Hydrant

    I saw this read at the Midwest Dramatists Conference, and it changed my mind about non-comedy short plays. The teenage girl is so absolutely chilling, there were times during the reading I realized I had stopped breathing. A terrifying account full of gothic elements. Highly recommended.
