  • Matthew Weaver Writes One Million Plays by Rachel Luann Strayer
    1 Sep. 2020
    “ Perhaps the darkest Matthew Weaver play yet. MATTHEW WEAVER WRITES ONE MILLION PLAYS had me in stitches with laughter throughout! Rachel Luann Strayer creates a wonderful world that just absolutely needs more Matthew Weavers in it. With sprinkled references to Matthew Weavers work and delightful fantastical elements, this is a wonderful play and a wonderful Matthew Weaver tribute! Well done! ”
  • How to Talk to Your Child About Satan by Daniel Prillaman
    30 Aug. 2020
    “ HOW TO TALK TO YOUR CHILD ABOUT SATAN is a hilarious intergenerational play for 4 women. If you've ever been a part of a community that shares your beliefs, but not all of your beliefs, this is a piece of satire you need in your life!

    This is a quintessential Daniel Prillaman play! Delightful and shocking all at the same time! BRAVO! Highly Recommended! ”
  • 153 by Steven G. Martin
    24 Aug. 2020
    “ What a beautiful play! 153 is such a wonderful experience I don't want to tell you anything about it. Just go read it! Steven G. Martin is (as always) capable of eliciting the exact response he sets out to. Read it. Or if you can, watch it. Or better yet produce it! This play would be great for zoom! Highly Recommended! ”
  • One Job Thou Hadst: Messenger (Monologue) by David Hansen
    24 Aug. 2020
    “ A delightful monologue from the point of view of the servant sent to warn Lady Macduff. These poor minor characters! Not epic heroes, just ordinary people mistakenly caught up in Shakespeare's plots. David Hansen gives them voices. In this blank verse monologue, we get to experience the confusion of a character who expected other characters to react like an normal person, not a tragic heroine, and the remorse of realizing too late that these characters never react the way you would expect. Poor guy! Well done, David! ”
  • 40 Questions (a monologue) by Matthew Weaver
    23 Aug. 2020
    “ I had the opportunity to see this performed (twice) by Miranda Jonte as a part of her Back Porch Theater.

    40 QUESTIONS is a monologue about wanting. Wanting love, wanting recognition, wanting answers. As Miranda Jonte points out in her performances, this can be a piece of slow deliberate contemplation or a rapid fire confusion of thoughts, but it is always a high stakes, emotional pull.

    Matthew Weaver's devastating vulnerability pulls you in and makes you want to give this character a great big hug!

    This solo piece is great for performances on Zoom/Facebook/etc! Highly recommended! ”
  • The RAKEoning by Daniel Prillaman
    19 Aug. 2020
    “ THE RAKEONING is delightful! It's funny and irreverent. It's dark and somewhat ominous. Daniel Prillaman ignites the imagination with this short play. Highly recommended! ”
  • Matthew Weaver Without Words by Justin Guidroz
    18 Aug. 2020
    “ MATTHEW WEAVER WITHOUT WORDS is true to it's name. Telling the story only through Movement and Projections, Justin Guidroz shares with us the story of a character abandoned and ultimately re-imagined by her playwright, Matthew Weaver. Featuring a number of characters from Matthew Weaver's other work, this play whimsical and beautiful and a wonderful tribute to Matthew Weaver! ”
  • The Springboard, or: What a Play Is or Can Be or Will Be, or: a Thank-You Note to Matthew Weaver by Steven G. Martin
    18 Aug. 2020
    “ THE SPRINGBOARD is a delightful play about banishing the nay-sayers in your head. Steven G. Martin highlights the importance of supporting one another as artists!

    In addition to be a sweet and incredibly endearing play. THE SPRINGBOARD also serves as a reading list for the work of Matthew Weaver and Steven G. Martin. I know I certainly have some reading to do.

    Another fabulous Matthew Weaver play. BRAVO! ”

    18 Aug. 2020
    “ First of all, I would like to say that I did not realize that NPX has a limit. but it looks like Franky Gonzalez found it! Congrats to you on the FANTASTIC TITLE!

  • Consolation (a monologue) by Scott Sickles
    15 Aug. 2020
    “ CONSOLATION is a dark comedy that says just as much with it's visuals as it does with it's words! A bathroom, bathrobe, running mascara, and bandages set the scene even before Melanie opens her mouth. But when she does, it'll knock the wind out of you. Scott Sickles packs emotion and comedy into this monologue! Great competition Monologue! ”
