  • Abducted
    14 Feb. 2023
    Woman has two weeks before she is abducted by aliens to get her life in order. This doesn't only mean paying off her mortgage and arranging for new leadership at her company; it also means coming to terms with her two adult children. Well-written, fascinating premise--I really feel for the mother.
  • Love Locks Bridge (a 10 minute play)
    16 Oct. 2022
    Touching play about two seekers who meet by chance and discover a deep connection.
  • A Christmas Carol
    16 Oct. 2022
    Magnificent. Hilarious. Touching. Armstrong cleverly crafted the timeless tale into a play for two actors.
  • Almost Connect...
    16 Oct. 2022
    Whereas the two characters who meet in a cafe are too shy to strike up meaningful conversation and make things happen, their inner personas are yearning to connect. I found myself routing alongside the subconscious drives and feeling their utter heartbreak in the end.
  • Hugo Saves Christmas...in May!
    11 Mar. 2022
    Charming Christmas play for any time of the year, about a man who returns to save the year-round Christmas store he adored as a child. Perfect mix of humor and pathos.
  • Change of Plans
    4 Apr. 2021
    This monologue by a married woman in NYC during COVID starts off funny, ends up chilling. As the wife leads us on a Zoom tour of her apartment, we learn of a strained marital relationship with the added stress of a COVID lockdown--and no means of escape. Sadly, this has been reality for hundreds of thousands of women for generations. A short play that will resonate with many.
  • Kevorkian's Cat
    29 Mar. 2021
    Magnificent short play for two actors--a 45-year-old woman and a cat with a Russian accent. Deals with the omnipresent issue of dementia, how to approach it when you are the victim or the caregiver, the never-ending need for compassion, how this awful disease alters relationships, how life and death go on.
  • A Story About a Girl
    29 Mar. 2021
    I adore this play. The story of a girl with a disability presented in an extraordinary style, it addresses the need to allow, encourage, and listen to voiced words, thoughts, feelings, and people. Technically clever, allowing us to follow Bethany through thirty years of life using only 6 actors playing various roles.
  • Hungarian Rhapsody (Blind Submission)
    24 Mar. 2021
    Starts off very Chekhovian until a stranger invades the farm house, sparking revelations, confrontations, and unconventional decisions in the lives of three ordinary people. Commands your attention and curiosity all the way through.
  • Covid Operations
    18 Mar. 2021
    Hilarious--a tasty treat for imaginative designers and directors. Emotive killer viruses--how apropos!
