    22 Dec. 2023
    “ If you’re nervous about bringing a partner home for the holidays, find some relief in this play. Alyssa is nervous about meeting her girlfriend Taylor’s parents for the first time over the holidays, but the events of this play relieve her nerves and make her optimistic about this meeting with her potential future in-laws. This adorable script is easy to put on stage, and it’s sure to make you smile. ”
  • On the Eighth Day of Hanukkah My True Love Gave to Me by Morey Norkin
    22 Dec. 2023
    “ This sweet little play has me getting all misty in a coffee shop. How dare you, Morey!
    Seriously, though, this piece is a lovely reminder of "the reason for the season." It would be easy to produce in a number of flexible ways, and it just warms the heart. ”
  • Scared by Wyn Alyse Thomas

  • Escalator to the Gallows (a monologue) by Scott Sickles
    16 Nov. 2023
    “ A juicy monologue and a fun twist all in just two minutes! This piece is darkly comedic without being hopeless. Check it out! ”
  • {AV:VR:RL} by Taylor Sklenar
    29 Oct. 2023
    “ This play takes the traditional concerns of naturalistic family drama and elevates them with digital interference that slowly encroaches on the real world. That is to say... if the world we know is really 'real' in the first place. There are lots of juicy roles, and Sklenar takes each character seriously. This is lovely work that is worth digging into. ”
  • For a Limited Time Only (The Bread Play) by Daniel Prillaman
    10 Oct. 2023
    “ The BREAD! OMG! This piece is hilarious and eerie -- Prillaman has deftly set up an absurd situation with enough of an eye to practical solutions to make it all possible in a real, live theater. At its heart, this is a play about two people in love, but there is also so much bread. It's a trip, and you should take it. ”
  • the day we were born by Jaisey Bates
    23 Sep. 2023
    “ This play is pure poetry. Bates explores the heartbreaking experiences of these characters on both a global and a personal scale, leaving the play with a lot of important issues to explore and digest. ”
  • In Every Generation by Ali Viterbi
    22 Sep. 2023
    “ "Ritual is tradition, but it's also time travel." What a beautiful start to this beautiful play. Viterbi tackles the mystical with humanity and grace in this piece. It's heart wrenching and lovely, and I wish I could see it live. ”
  • 27 Short Plays About Being Murdered in a Hotel by ABBA by William Razavi
    16 Sep. 2023
    “ What a trip! This is an absurdist romp through genres that will be great fun for both production teams and audiences. ”
