A well-written short piece that examines the minefield of politics and the current world situation. D. LEE MILLER pulls it all together succinctly. Well done.

A fun way to manage our fantasies or maybe realities. LOU JONES has written a clever little short play that shows the very reason it's not always a good idea to pry into people's personal to-do list. Very enjoyable.

What a clever short play! DEBRA A. COLE's dialogue leads the audience in what seems to be a well-known path until the fun twist at the end. This would be a great one-minute play for a festival. Well done!

Samara Siskind cleverly captures the way parents feel as their children age. I love the confessional tone of this monologue. Sometimes adults do little things to get the attention they need. Touching and a great piece for an older actor.

LOU JONES has done a wonderful job of changing the viewpoint on age discrimination. 40 seems plenty old until confronted with people twice that age. Clever and though provoking.

This is wonderful. D. Lee Miller took the opportunity to talk about family history in a way that moves away from charts and cold facts. This strong monologue reminds us that we're a product of different backgrounds, each with it's own special strengths. Well done.

Thank you, BRENT ALLES, for a necessary short piece about how early girls are taught they're not enough. If only every little girl and boy had someone like Uncle to help them along. Well done.

Oh my. A touching and heartbreaking piece about the realities of living with Schizophrenia. Thank you to Christopher Jean Soucy for this look at a very hard to treat mental illness.

Wow. A panic attack is no laughing matter. I can feel the anxiety building in the speaker. A good strong monologue.

A strong monologue with a clear message about a murky subject. Do we have a problem or are we the problem? The two mesh together until they're one and same. Anj Marie Riffel shows how difficult it is to ask for help. Well done.
