Three very different people from very different walks of life. But in this one moment they share a connection, even it is just waiting for the bus. This would be an amazing opportunity for the actors involved as well as designers. The characters are rich and the moments of connection between them are so poignant. Reading the script was an emotional journey, I can only imagine what it would be like to see it staged.

THE GIRL WHO COULD TALK TO BIRDS take the fairytale trope of talking animals in a whole new direction. Gibberish and silliness ensue (and not from the birds!). This play is complete with the signature Daniel Prillaman flourish!

Check it out! Read it! Recommend it! Produce it! Bring all the Talking Animals to life!

Directorial concepts cans sometimes go awry, but hearing about this edgy production of Christmas Carol cracks me up. I can see Christine's point of view, but also, I would probably pay good money to see this production. Emily's humor, as ever, is spot on!

Well done!

Sibling rivalry can go from fun and games to life and death and back in just a minute. Scott Sickles creates a dynamic scene with excellent physicality.

Read! Produce!

AFTER AULIS is a breathtaking look at the afterlife of two very different, but intrinsically connected, classical figures. Aly Kantor creates heart-achingly relatable struggles for the protagonists of this 10 minute play, and by the end of it, you can feel the resolution they have labored towards.

Beautifully written. I would love to see it staged!

Timothy Gadomski had me at "Supposedly this play is unproducible." I take that as a personal challenge, and now I want to see it on stage badly! Why not flood the stage with actors for a 10 minute monologue?

I love this play!

THE ALCHEMIST'S GAMBIT it a hilarious play of dire consequences! Old meets New as a mad scientist is confronted with the knowledge that his newest "test subject" practices the ancient art of alchemy. With witty dialogue and delightful misunderstandings, we are on the edge of our seat as we find out if this Alchemist can persuade his way out of the dissection table.

Actors will have so much fun with this play!

Take a deep breath and dive into "Boardwalk Concessions" by Scott Sickles. Because this plays is a whirlwind and you won't have time to blink, let alone breath while Vesper rants about Mace and Kaden just tries to eat a Corn Dog. Punctuated with nuance and metaphor, this play is sweet and hilarious at the same time.

Wow this play is intense and subtly disturbing. Jaime Alejandro Crus creates a play that can work effectively book on zoom and on stage. HAPPY TALK: A HUMAN INTEREST PIECE has great back and forth dialogue that would be great for actors to sink their teeth into.

Highly Recommended!

ACHILLES & PATROCLUS is a moving memory play told through verse. Alternating scenes between the young boys sparing and grown men arguing the finer points of war, James T. Washburn fleshes out the backstory of these two doomed lovers. Beautifully written, this play invites dynamic staging.

I had the opportunity to see this performed at New College of Florida, and the ethereal quality of the play made the tragedy all the more visceral.
