  • A DINNER BELL RINGS
    4 Jan. 2022
    A marriage lifetime told through the couple’s relationship with their china. Fast paced and real. We can all relate to the weighing the desire to use something delicate against the fear of damaging it. Well done.
  • Companion
    4 Jan. 2022
    “Companion” by Mackenzie Raine Kirkman is a sensitive gem that asks what it means to be human. This play explores loneliness, search for purpose, and the need for connection in a tight ten minute play.
  • An Invocation To His Muse
    3 Jan. 2022
    A beautiful and wrenching story inspired by Edward Hopper's painting "The Automat." A period piece that speaks to audiences of today.
  • Dad and Uncle Mark (Monologue)
    3 Jan. 2022
    Honest and heartbreaking. A man reflects on a time in his youth when feelings were often kept secret. A discovery about his father helped him better understand himself in his youth and the discoveries of his own feelings help him to better understand his father.
  • For a Man Your Age
    3 Jan. 2022
    A sweet and funny two-hander about accepting or not accepting our inevitable aging. Love this couple and how they care and know each other. Well done!
  • Rose Garden Pardon

    Nothing says Thanksgiving like a power struggle between turkeys! So much fun. Actors will have a with these roles. This play would be a great addition to a holiday play festival or any short play festival.
  • WANDA: A MONOLOGUE WITH A TREADMILL
    21 Dec. 2021
    "Wanda: A Monologue With a Treadmill" is another brilliant piece by Asher Wyndham. It reminds us to be kind, as we have no idea what others are going through. Also, although it's 2021, women still do not have equal footing with men in the workplace, in society, and at home. Wyndham makes us care for Wanda and thousands of women like her.
  • Principles of Logic
    21 Dec. 2021
    Love the dialog in this play about possessing a book about logic. The younger academic assistant uses clear and unemotional logic, while the older professor uses emotional arguments and his position. On top of this, the assistant proves the champion of mathematics. Audiences will cheer for the underdog.
  • The Ballad of Leslie
    21 Dec. 2021
    "The Ballad of Leslie" is a sweet and fun two-hander that lifts the spirit. A classic theme with a modern setting that will leave audiences smiling. Nice addition to a short play festival.
  • Blue Beard
    21 Dec. 2021
    "Blue Beard" by Rachel O'Hanlon-Rodriguez is a gripping and intense thriller. Fast paced and tight dialogue. The more we come to care about these sisters, the more we worry for them. Would love to see this play staged.
