  • The Anxiety of a Knuckleball Before the Plate
    15 Jul. 2019
    I just need to yell it once, so please humor me -- I LOVE THIS PLAY!!!! Thank you and back to the recommendation: I'm already a huge fan of Stubbles clever and creative style of writing but this piece is a fantastic example of the expertise he brings to his plays. Not to mention how uniquely theatrical it is! Oh, and did I mention it's endearing too? This play is brilliant and would very clearly be an audience favorite at any festival it was produced at. In short...produce it!
  • GWEN HAS A DATE
    6 Jul. 2019
    This play immediately introduces us to three characters who have such well-crafted relationships with each other that they feel incredibly life-like right off the page. A really fun, sweet play, that would stand out in any short play festival.
  • Sock Puppet Fetish Noir
    30 Jun. 2019
    What a fantastic feast of fun this play is! McBurnette-Andronicos taps into absurdity in a refreshingly funny way, I'm glad I read it and I would very much like to see it performed. Distinctly theatrical and a perfect choice for any short play festival.
  • Prometheus Shrugs
    30 Mar. 2019
    This play is loaded with wit! Such a creative idea, I never even considered the poor bird who Zeus had also inadvertently condemned and it’s relationship with Prometheus. A uniquely endearing show that is so easy to imagine playing out on stage.
  • The Show Must NOT Go On!
    17 Mar. 2019
    This is a vibrant and hilarious play with masterful moments of physical comedy embedded into it! The janitor is a gem and deserves an enormous amount of applause. The playwright has written a show that no theatre would regret producing in their festival, truly a pleasure to read, actually watching this must be an insanely joyful ride!
  • A MASTERPIECE OF ... COMIC TIMING
    22 Feb. 2019
    I just saw the production of this show at my university and really enjoyed the zany characters, specifically Cobb and Charlie's relationship was a lot of fun. It didn't take itself too seriously and it had modern-day Seinfeld vibe. The moments of comedy are plentiful (obviously) and one that stands out to me was the play within the play. The boy being ripped apart by wolves brought me so much joy.
  • The Cask of Amontillado, adapted from Edgar Allan Poe's short story of the same name
    15 Feb. 2019
    Such a fantastic story and Martin has created a really successful adaption here. I particularly love the theatricality of it, and Montresor's narration is perfect. The feeling of horror emanates wonderfully through this piece. A delicious taste of terror.
  • Hitchers
    15 Feb. 2019
    This play is to die for and the jokes are killer! Really, this is so absurdly funny. A chance encounter of two serial killers leads to a comedic and wild trip. It's a gem and was a joy to read.
  • PINATA
    6 Feb. 2019
    Mullen has created a uniquely hilarious situation in Pinata and it's a joy to read. The characters are so well defined and the way they're forced to interact with each other is immensely entertaining. This is the play about mothers at a birthday party you didn't know you needed in your life. Read it!
  • Penny for Your Traumas?
    6 Feb. 2019
    Funny, clever, and heartbreaking. Partain has created a powerful play about abuse, pain, and how you go on living after. An impressive show that tackles a heavy topic so well in just ten pages, this would make a great addition to any short play festival. Directors, check it out for sure.
