    In a few pages, the writer paints a picture that will be forever in my memory. I'd love to see this play staged at some point. Excellent work.

  • Vince Melocchi: Capsmittment by Jean Koppen

    What a clever, fun play! I'm a huge hockey fan and I have to say all the right notes were hit in terms of the sport. And the script itself is a nice little gem. any theatre festival would do well to produce this. Very natural, realistic dialogue with an engaging story.

  • Vince Melocchi: The Portrait by Tania Gutsche
    “

    A lovely, poetic play that really captures the essence of Venice and it's art world. The play is funny and touching, with eclectic, colorful characters I came to love. I'd really enjoy seeing a production of the THE PORTRAIT at some point. The play deserves one!

  • Vince Melocchi: Disposable Necessities by Neil McGowan

    I had the good fortune of hearing a reading of DISPOSABLE NECESSITIES a year or so ago and recently I saw a production at Rogue Machine Theatre in Los Angeles. The play was very good before, but it's great now. Neil is one of the most clever, insightful writers I know and this play is all that and even more. The play blends a nice sci-fi element with a human touch. Read -- or better yet -- SEE -- this play!

    One of those plays I just could not stop reading. Rich characters, engaging story and a powerful ending, I cannot wait to see this on stage.

    Wow. What a terrific play. The kind of work that actors want to do, and writers wish they had written. Awesome stuff!

  • Vince Melocchi: The Lady Demands Satisfaction by Arthur M Jolly
    “

    When I see a play I really like, I'll get a copy of the script (if I can) to see if it was the production, the script or both. In the case of THE LADY DEMANDS SATISFACTION, I'm happy to say it was both. I saw the play in Los Angeles which proved to be a great evening of theatre. The direction, stage combat and actors were all top notch. The real treat, however, was reading the play itself. What a terrific script Mr. Jolly has written! Loved it!

    I loved the effortless blend of humor and heartfelt emotion. The characters in this play really popped off the page. I’d love to spend some time hanging out with the patrons of Miracle bar. Well done!

  • Vince Melocchi: The Stain by Neil McGowan

    A really terrific play with twists and turns that are uncomfortable, funny and sad (in a good way). The dialogue is very natural and moves at a nice pace. I'd love to see a production of THE STAIN.

  • Vince Melocchi: HOMER by Stephanie Alison Walker

    Touching and funny. One of those plays that has it all...in less than 10 minutes. Well done. I'd love to see HOMER staged somewhere.
