  • Nan - A 10-Minute Play
    13 Aug. 2023
    This show shares an interesting perspective on the Hawaiian experience. The stakes are high, which makes the exchange between these two women poignant and strong.
  • A TRICK OF THE LIGHT
    11 Aug. 2023
    A fun, light (if you'll pardon the pun) piece about getting older. It's sure to make you smile!
  • Borderline
    10 Aug. 2023
    Siañez-De La O is a talented storyteller, and this play is no exception. The myths and tales interwoven into this piece give it a sense of magic and wonder which contrasts with the dismal reality of life on the border. This is really lovely work that should be produced!
  • MR. HEMINGWAY
    7 Aug. 2023
    Kautzman places dreamwork and memory to stage a lovely, sympathetic look at Hemingway's last months. This play is heartbreaking, educational, and creative. Check it out!
  • The Anxiety of a Knuckleball Before the Plate
    2 Aug. 2023
    A fun, quirky piece that would be easy to stage, even in an evening of short plays. There's lots for the actors and director to do here!
  • Pulse
    25 Jul. 2023
    A quick, informative nugget of history. You'll learn something important in ten minutes or less!
  • AZTEC PIRATES & THE INSIGNIFICANCE OF LIFE ON MARS
    9 Jul. 2023
    This piece is utterly haunting. Davila creates characters who are indisputably terrible people but he leaves them with just enough humanity that I still want them to be redeemed. It's a difficult line to tow, but he's done it well. This is a whirlwind, surreal look inside the head of someone with PTSD. It's complex, rich, and well worth your time.
  • Ten Acrobats In An Amazing Leap Of Faith
    4 Jul. 2023
    This piece seamlessly integrates dreams and naturalism in a moving family drama centered around the holidays -- in this case, Ramadan. The issues are relevant and the spiritual underpinnings are incredibly moving. This piece is well worth your time and should be produced again and again!
  • A'nat Dittni

    Can ancient tales coexist with our postmodern world? This beautiful, heartbreaking play tackles that question fearlessly. It's a great example of the ten minute medium and is sure to leave the audience wanting more. Check it out!
  • Why the Hell is it so Hard to Write a Recommendation on NPX? A Monologue
    23 Jun. 2023
    So fun! This would be a great script to introduce someone to the NPX, or to playwriting in general. In fact, the next time my Grandma asks what exactly it is that I do, I might just hand her this play. Kudos to Salant for this delightful piece!
