Scott C. Sickles is the master of science fiction. In all of his work, Scott takes a trope and turns it on its head. Here he takes an apocalypse and turns it into a declaration of love. And what a declaration it turns out to be! TIMING IS EVERYTHI- is hilarious on the page and I imagine it is hysterical with an actor how has great comic...

timing.

What a delightful short play! Adam Richter packs so much in to so few words. I would love to see this staged!

Whether you are trying to fit in or stand out, college in hard, and it's difficult to want to be vulnerable. This is another great installment in Sam Heyman's Tales from the Hill collection of short plays. In AMERICAN POLITICS, we see what is really at stake in what should be an easy class assignment. Brett struggle to vocalized who he is feels very familiar. Thankfully Elena is there to help him through it, and share her own badass experiences along the way. Great as a stand alone or as part of the series.

What a one minute play! It touches on childhood ritual, truama, loss, and the illusion of the supernatural in a single minute! This play is touching in its economic repetition of Goodnight.

Definitely read it! Or if you can, check it out at Gi60 in NYC 2022.

I was helping Miranda run lines for an upcoming production and after reading just a few scenes with her, became obsessed and had to know how it ended. So I sat down and read the whole script! and I am SO GLAD I DID!

Miranda Jonte's characters are complex, flawed, beautiful people and we are instantly sucked into their lives. Jonte also draws us in to the comings and goings of all the pets at the shelter. Every time there is an adoption or a hurt animal is brought in, we track their process right along side Tessa!

Powerful!

Big Oof! This one-minute play gives us so much! A bedraggled professor, an entitled student, and a drop dead ending! Social commentary meets peak comedy in one minute!

Check out OFFICE HOURS! Well done, Jackie Martin!

Steven G. Martin's one minute play has become strangely prophetic 2020 is the year that has never ended. Midway through 2022, I am even more convinced of this fact. So No Wonder Steve's intrepid cast of characters feel stuck! This delightful comedy turns very dark as friends try to solve the riddle that will allow them to escape the 2020 escape room! Can you figure it out?

Bravo, Steve!

They say 'the specific is universal' and that rings true in Matthew Weaver's play. While specifically about a woman who chooses to fall in love with Matthew Weaver, the play hits on universal themes of love and fate. This play is absolutely delightful! It is a joy to read and would be fantastic to see on stage!

This is a play of horrifying revelations. In just 1-minute, Steven G. Martin shows us a glimpse of humanities future. Simple and effective, there is so much world building in a very short amount of time. Brilliant and unsettling.

BRAVO, Mr. Martin!

THE CLOSET DOOR is a beautiful coming out story. Sam Heyman creates an adorable cast of college students who are anxious and uncertain and all just need a big hug. Chip and Brett are each in very different places with regard to their sexuality. Jessica stands in contrast to them both, coming in at a million miles a minute. The sweet and touching ending it earned by all the tension leading up to it.

Great for college students and LGBTQ+ programs! Highly Recommended!
