  • A Minute Past Midnight on Valentine's Day, or, the Untold Truth about Romantics [a 1-minute play] by Steven G. Martin
    9 Feb. 2024
    “ A remarkably bittersweet and condensed fully realized story about ironic love in a small but very powerful package. ”

    “ Yes. Yes yes. Yes yes yes. A twisted and horrific queer “rom-com” of sorts - unwavering in poetic macabre but not overwrought with flowery language. A stunning satire regarding the head vs. the heart in matters of love (both literally and figuratively). This is an imaginative and compelling dark piece that pushes the envelope and has a violently amorous theme. ”
  • F***in' Howard Phillips by M. D. Schaffer

    “ Quite the engaging and hilarious romp regarding “literary daddy issues” through the lens of cosmic horror. You don’t have to be a horror aficionado to vibe with this play - it speaks to the passionate chore of an artist trying to find their niche. This satirical commentary about the allure of a cult following to combat mainstream success is rife with some meaningful moments. There’s some fun surprises that come out of these quirky characters. While the theme isn’t too heavy, it packs a punch in a very condensed fashion. ”
  • Stoop Pigeons by Christin Eve Cato

    “ There is a lot to be said for this work that incorporates such rich, colorful characters that run such a vast spectrum all while resonating in an exposition of the commonalities of injustice and inequality. This is not so much a sermon or does it ever come off as preachy - though the themes regarding oppression and the 99% are strong, tell tale signs of the way things are, have been, and where they are going. There's laughs and there's tears and there's gut wrenching moments. The script is real and raw and thoroughly entertaining and important history. ”

    “ What a fun, hilarious and well written mini-musical. I especially loved the brazen and brassy no holds barred take on a serious issue. So glad this came up on my radar! ”

    “ This quick and dirty satire speaks volumes about our current sensibilities on and about sensitivity versus humor. Punchy jokes and an uplifting downfall are carried out in a surprisingly poignant script. ”
