    What happens when you lose the thing that makes you you? Or that you have always used to define yourself? The impact of that loss reverberates for all four characters in this gripping and insightful script. Relationships must be built and rebuilt to accommodate Rawls' changed circumstances and he must learn to develop a broader, more expansive view of himself. That journey is definitely worth following.
  • The Writing Bug
    24 May. 2022
    This witty short explains so much. I am so much clearer about my life. And the kicker ending is hilarious.
  • THE GROUP PROJECT (A Play for Videoconference)
    23 May. 2022
    This play is such a treat, skewering our experiences with Covid and technology while utilizing technology to allow the play to happen. The kids are credible, distinct and funny. This would be a hoot in performance even now that we have begun to return to the world. It could allow kids from different locations to perform together and enable far flung family members to be engaged.
  • What are the Odds?
    21 May. 2022
    What a delightful take on a romantic encounter. The characters and set-up are engaging and the pay off a true delight. There is a sweetness of spirit to the piece that enhances its many charms.
  • And Be Gay
    21 May. 2022
    It's nice to see a relationship as tender and mutually supportive as Randy and Rod's. This sparkling comedy builds to a deeply satisfying surprise ending.
  • That Kiss
    21 May. 2022
    Irresistible force Kelly meets immoveable object Monica in this wild two-hander. The dialogue zings and the stakes grow high. These roles would be a gift to actors and this play a real treat for audiences.
  • Because I Could Not Stop for Death
    20 May. 2022
    It seems that poor Death is the victim of a clerical error. Their attempts to get Emily's demise back on track and her resistance are the witty core of this clever comedy.
  • THE SANITY CLAUSET 10-minute holiday comedy
    20 May. 2022
    I'm a sucker for an original holiday play and The Sanity Clauset sure fits the bill. It has an engaging mix of out there humor and real feeling. And I will never again view Groupon in the same way.
  • SEX, LIES & STYROFOAM - a ten minute comedy
    20 May. 2022
    The lesson is if you want to be a successful cad, wash your own damn cape. Two women of vastly different life experience meet at a laundromat and find their lives changed by the meeting. That so much wit informs this piece (funny lines, funny props, funny situations) just gives the big reveal greater impact.
  • FAMILY BY NUMBERS Award-winning 10-minute drama
    20 May. 2022
    So much feeling and wisdom is packed into these ten rich pages. A family forms and endures through minor annoyances and major tragedy. The balance of humor and pathos is spot on. It is easy to see how this play has achieved such success and acclaim.
