  • Message of Pain by Lindsay Partain
    23 Mar. 2018
    “ Like any good Sci-Fi work, this play makes you sit and think. Partain takes familiar Sci-Fi ingredients (a little Aliens, a bit of Wall-E, a hint of 2001 and a dash of Star Trek's Kobayashi Maru) and combines them to tell a story that’s original and fresh. A 10-minute Twilight Zone episode that would be a great part of any festival. ”
  • TEACH: ANOTHER MONOLOGUE THAT I SHOULDN'T HAVE TO WRITE by Asher Wyndham
    7 Mar. 2018
    “ A powerful solo piece that tackles head on the issues of gun violence, racism, and stand-your-ground. TEACH: ANOTHER MONOLOGUE THAT I SHOULDN'T HAVE TO WRITE is a story I shouldn't have to read but it feels like one I'll see trending in the news any day now. An upsetting, important, and necessary work. ”
  • Last Dance with MJ by Lindsay Partain
    27 Feb. 2018
    “ An incredibly fun play about friendship and getting even. Lindsay Partain has a gift with witty dialogue and some of the imagery literally had me laughing out loud. Great roles for two female actors for a showcase or ten-minute festival. ”
  • Recess by Kara Emily Krantz
    15 Feb. 2018
    “ Krantz has written a truly beautiful play. With having adult actors playing children, Krantz tells an incredibly touching, honest, tug-at-your-heartstrings story about relationships and their expectations. Not going to lie. I got a little verklempt at the end. Read it. See it. Produce it.

  • My Body by Rachel Bublitz
    13 Feb. 2018
    “ This play had its first reading in 2012, but it as still as topical as ever. An incredibly smart and pointed satire. Bublitz takes today's society, flips it, and holds it up for us to see. With incredibly real and relatable characters, Bublitz creates a world that makes us question our own. I hope, over time, this play becomes less relevant, but right now the world needs it. ”
  • The House the Grants Built by Rachel Bykowski
    12 Feb. 2018
    “ Absolutely loved this play. The way Bykowski tackles Rebecca's relationships with her family, both living and deceased, are fascinating and raise so many interesting questions. Are we our family? Can we choose our history? Read it several times already and each time I find something new. Okay, enough reminiscing. This play definitely goes in the "keep" box and needs to be produced.

  • Immortal Combat by Lindsay Partain
    10 Feb. 2018
    “ Very fun one-minute play with an incredibly cool premise about a family having to face their son's imaginary friend. Don't want to say too much and give anything away. Just read it. ”
  • The Show Must NOT Go On! by Kelly McBurnette-Andronicos
    9 Feb. 2018
    “ The Show Must NOT Go On! is a zany off-the-wall comedy that would provide a jolt of energy to any 10 minute play festival lineup. Clever and crazy and absolutely nuts in the best way. Would love to see this on stage. ”
  • Dungeons & Dragons -- A Tragedy by Sarah Bowden
    5 Feb. 2018
    “ A terrific short play. The relationship between Olivia and her father is very honest and real. Bowden is able to pack a lot of emotion into just four pages. ”
  • Elephants by Jordan Elizabeth Henry
    16 Jan. 2018
    “ An incredibly powerful and touching piece. Henry has a gift in her ability to create honest and relatable characters that draw the audience in emotionally. I was especially fascinated by Henry’s portrayal of Sue, a teenager with autism, and how logical it is for her to admire the elephants’ nuance-free method of communication. After finishing reading this play, my first thought was “I want to see this on stage.” The way Henry portrays Sue’s imagination interwoven with reality would be incredible to see performed. ”
