Here is a timely piece that accomplishes a lot in a short amount of time. The way they downplay their experiences and never discuss the ramifications (or any lasting impact) are interesting choices that increase the audience's sense of outrage that is magnified by the final choice which I won't give away - well done!

Sweet 2-hander - would be perfect for a Thanksgiving Festival of one-acts. It is heartfelt and contemporary. I really like the way Zaffarano handles the teen cellphone use as part of the obstacles that any mom has to manage to get the attention of a teen today. The humor is character-driven and motivated - well done!

I sure do know these characters! Hill creates very clear and fleshed out characters who are distinct the moment they open their mouths. This is a dramatic script that made me so mad, and I was cheering for Kisha who has to make a really tough decision.

Taking on the difficulties of bullying in Middle School is tough, and Ms. Hill does a great job keeping this real without any easy outs for any of the characters. Well done! This is a dramatic piece that will invite conversation among any audience!

To add to the horror of an office party during the holiday season, New Love! This play helps us enjoy the misery of it all. With the breaking of the 4th wall and the janitorial narrative device -- O What Fun! Seriously - Lovable!

Exactly right. Perfect. What else can I say? Read it! Produce it! Enjoy the everything out of it! Now. And again after that.

Wonderfully funny family dynamics! Homo for Christmas is a perfect laugh-out-loud holiday comedy! Bavoso has a great sense of the visual too!

Great characters! I can imagine everyone they talk about inside the house and back in LA, four very different holiday pictures, but the play took me by surprise because it's not really about what's happening in the house after all. Heartwarming too! A merry happy play!

Absolutely worth every award and production it has received and hopefully more and more to come - a beautiful play with every sensory aspect invoked and playable - and the world changes. Something I try to get my students to do and they say, but it's only ten minutes - but sometimes that's all you need. Kudos to Mullen for changing the world and showing us how.

I admit I have a thing for the Jersey Shore, and mythology/religion - whatever you want to call it - makes me swoon, so this new one-act by Michael G. Hilton, Paradise Beach, is an easy play to recommend. The trash, the off-costumes, the quirkiness/awkwardness of running into an ex, there is so much that is familiar and so much that is raised up to the level of O, Please Let It All Mean Something - the abyss, the suicidal fears, the rage - this is a play worth seeing!
