  • John Minigan: Come Again

    This is a hilarious powerhouse of a play -- disarming and ultimately devastating. It's the only kind of comedy that makes sense these days, and it's a play that should be produced all over. Great roles for the actors, but an even greater ride for the audience, from belly-laughs to gut-punches.

  • John Minigan: The Remote (a ten minute play)

    What's a couple to do when their relationship grows "remote"? This short play is fiendishly clever and is probably fiendishly hard to perform, but it's worth the struggle. Funny, absurd, touching, with a final moment that is *chef's kiss.* Hooray, once again, that Mark Harvey Levine's imagination is at work in the world.

  • John Minigan: Gentri-Fried Chicken

    This play makes you laugh until it hurts, and BECAUSE it hurts. In one minute, we get hard truth about gentrification and trendy foodie obsession, all dusted lightly with purple sage and hilarity.

  • John Minigan: failing at a 1-page play festival

    I just KNEW who was to blame for zoom play festivals! This hilarious satire will appeals to fans of new plays (and fans of Satan) and anyone who has been rejected. Sympathy for the Devil has never been so funny!

  • John Minigan: The Order (a one minute play)

    A rom-com as brilliant as it is brief. The conceit is clear and hilarious, and as it expands, it reveals more and more about the nature of the characters and their relationships. Fabulous work from a master of the form!

  • John Minigan: THAT KIND OF BOY [A 1-MINUTE PLAY]

    This is a gem of a play. Sometimes a play doesn't give us what we expect. This gives us much more than we expect: warmth, hope, and - not sure how Martin does it so beautifully - grace.

  • John Minigan: Begging the Question

    Clear and clever and full of love - though not the kind you might expect. This manages, in just a minute, to really tug at the heartstrings! Amazing, effective, and affecting.

  • John Minigan: Nothing Ever Happens

    So much in one minute—hard truth, and real talk about dogs. And the speaker is right—as the past few years have told us, there are some places people probably don’t belong. Clear and compelling!

  • John Minigan: Offboarding

    Ever tried to leave the job from hell? This hilarious short captures the experience in five minutes, but leaves you laughing for longer. Great specificity in the characters, comic timing that works even on the page, and the tough truth that it's fiendishly hard to get out of a soul-sucking job. Parts of it will stick with you. Brilliantly funny work!

  • John Minigan: You've Reached Justin

    Terrifying, rich, intense, and hopeful! The piece immediately establishes a compelling personal and theatrical world, shifts surprisingly and elegantly into sc-fi/horror and ends with more than you hoped would happen.
    Don't run from things you fear, take things slowly, connect in the real world, and miraculous things can happen. Lovely work!
