This is the beautiful aftermath of a relationship. The resilience of moving on and the pain of being wronged. I love the way this piece acknowledges that feelings can persist even after being hurt. A beautiful monologue by Matthew Weaver!

PUBLIC COMMENT is a brilliant 1-minute play. We clearly know the speaker. Even if her name weren't Karen, we would know her. And Clearly the Council Person knows her all to well. Adam Richter gives us a nice button at the end of the piece.

I would love to see this staged!

This play is AMAZING! MJ Kaufman builds on Lyly's fairytale and gives us so much more. It is fun and touching and address the elements of a play in a very modern way. This play is an ABSOLUTE delight!

FUNCTION is a fantastic play! It turns the turing test on its head in the most exciting way! I heard the play read at a MUSE event hosted by Turn to Flesh Productions and was blown away by this Rollercoaster of a play! This play keeps audiences guessing LONG after reading/seeing this piece. A stunning piece of science fiction on stage!

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

THE OTHER, OTHER WOMAN lives up to it's subtitle in every way: "An Emotional Horror Story Wrapped in a French Farce." The high paced antics of an entire town falling in and out of one another's beds is unscored by the unsettling choices the characters make in the name of duty and responsibility. Emily C. A. Snyder skillfully uses verse, rhyme, and rhetoric to give the script a richness which jumps off the page. This play is very playful, and it is exactly that element that heightens the devastating undertones of the script.

Execellently done!

CLYT; OR, THE BATHTUB PLAY gives us a much needed prespective on moments surrounding the Trojan War. Elisabeth Giffin Speckman not only gives us Clytemnestra's point of view, but also rich relationships between between sisters (Clytemnestra/Helen and Electra/Iphigenia). With a blended pastiche of settings, ancient and modern, we are introduced to a new way of concieving what it means to be a timeless tale. This play is maintain high tensions as we watch characters march towards unalterable fates. There is also a satisfying blend of physical comedy, word play, and irony peppered throughout this script!

HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

A fun 1-minute play! Just when you think Kyle's dad is unnecessarily overbearing, you begin to suspect Kyle deserves it.

A great play to start the morning with!

THE MAMET RULE rules! What a fun metatheatrical play. A delight! What a great punchline!

Definitely check it out! Would work well on zoom!

OWL CREEK is so super creepy. IN THE BEST WAY! With small town secrets and the recollection of eerie dreams, this play gets more and more disturbing to the end. It a lot of fun to see Emily McClain's modern takes on classic tropes. There are also some really great moments that speak to the experience of growing up in a small town.

WELL DONE!

CHILDREN OF COMBS AND WATCH CHAINS is a glorious modern tragedy! Della and Jim Young THINK they will do anything to have a child. But when it comes down to it, the secrets that they keep from one another as they seek more and more extreme ways to get what they want is the biggest strain of all. This play is a fast paced thriller with a heartbreaking twist.

I saw a reading of this play done by the Quarantine Players on Zoom. Hearing actors bring this shorty to life underscored moments of dark humor throughout the piece.

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
