  • Jean Ciampi: While We Still Can by Cam Eickmeyer
    “

    CAM EICKMEYER has created an important piece of work in which we must all look at who we are in the story. And how we respond when the storm clouds build.

  • Jean Ciampi: REVERSAL - A new murder mystery in one act by Michele Clarke
    “

    Don't expect to get to the end of this and be satisfied. You'll be far too invested and caught in Michele Clarke's clever net of intrigue to not want to know what happens next!

  • Jean Ciampi: THE LEADER'S ADDRESS by James Binz
    “

    Darkly hilarious, The Leader goes from "long-shot to the lesser of two evils to the only choice to it really not mattering" in this sharp monologue. The frightening foreshadowing of an actual future make it timely and intelligent. You know you probably should be laughing but it's hard not to.

    A delightful story sewn together with threads of creativity and unfurled imagination. This is a show that needs to be on stages of all sizes because it will speak to all audiences. Well done!

  • Jean Ciampi: NEFERTITI SPEAKS (a 2-min monologue) by Michele Clarke
    “

    The power of a great queen does not diminish. Nor does the power of a great playwright. Michele Clarke has captured both and finishes with a knock out punch!

    Crisp and clever from creative mastermind DAVID GUASPARI! His dialogue is delightfully spot-on with a beautiful pace that tangles together like the perfect dish of al dente pasta! Everybody should come to Jake's for this fun detective thriller!

  • Jean Ciampi: Better Call Shoenstein by Morey Norkin and John Busser
    “

    This is not a play to read in the library where uncontrolled outbursts are frowned upon. Brilliantly written, delightfully fun. The only disappointment is that it's only 10-minutes!

    “

    Things are hopping in Glen's kitchen as he hosts visitors from across the street and across the galaxy. Tim O'Lena lets bold statements creep in on cats' paws in this fun, quirky sci-fi comedy.

  • Jean Ciampi: The Lingering Scent of Oranges by Steven G. Martin
    “

    Two sisters "of a certain age" push and pull against the bonds and boundaries of family and tradition and expectations in a delightfully real and bold dance. Steven Martin beautifully creates relatable and authentic characters that leave you with a linger question of "what happens next?" and wishing for more of Melinda and Robin.

  • Jean Ciampi: THIRD TIME'S THE CHARM by Michele Clarke
    “

    Michele Clarke's short is as irrepressible and contagiously funny as laughing in church. Hilariously irreverent to the point that even the stage directions will make you giggle. Is someone going to get struck by lightning? Maybe, but oh it will be so worth it!
