  • Write Your Name Upon My Heart by Matthew Weaver
    6 Nov. 2020
    “ A touching play about love and the love that’s unrequited. Weaver packs a ton of heart (no pun intended) into ten minutes. Perfect for two talented actors in any short play showcase or festival. Just a beautiful piece. ”
  • A Craigslist Play by Ruben Carbajal
    6 Nov. 2020
    “ Love is alive in New Jersey! Carbajal has taken the Missed Connections and connects them in a way that does not miss. The piece is the perfect combination of humor and heart showcasing the raw authenticity of everyday people trying to find love. A beautiful piece for an ensemble to be performed in both virtual or in-person settings. ”
  • The Longest Opera Ever Written in Just One Minute by Larry Rinkel
    8 Sep. 2020
    “ A hysterical one minute piece succinctly breaking down Wagner's 15 hour 'The Ring of the Nibelung' in a way that would make SparkNotes jealous. Now what am I going to do with the other 14 hours and 59 minutes I set aside? ”
  • Here There Be Pirates: A Ten-Minute Play by James McLindon
    24 Jul. 2020
    “ I was able to see Here There Be Pirates at The Barn Theatre and it was a big hit with the audience. When faced with the pressure of closing a high priced merger, don't buckle. Swashbuckle! An absurdly fun ten minutes. Read this play! ”
  • Suddenly Rippling, Out and Up [a 1-minute play] by Steven G. Martin
    23 Jun. 2020
    “ A beautiful one minute play that'll tear at your heart. Martin puts so much into this little piece that perfectly encapsulates paternal love. ”
  • Three Year Summer by Amy Berryman
    13 Jun. 2020
    “ I was lucky to catch a reading of Three Year Summer at Kitchen Dog Theater’s New Works Festival. Berryman has written a fantastic play taking audiences way back to the time when we all waited with eager anticipation for the 5th Harry Potter book and a new broadband internet that doesn't tie up the phone line. Tommi and Pat’s relationship is absolutely adorable and perfectly captures the awkwardness of adolescence…even the weird parts. ”
  • Marianas Trench (Part One of The Second World Trilogy) by Scott Sickles
    6 Jun. 2020
    “ I was incredibly fortunate to see a reading of this play as part of Portland Stage's Livestream Series. Marianas Trench is an absolutely fantastic play. Sickles has a gift with words, even those that are [redacted]. Teddy and Anzor's pen-pal friendship will tug at your heart strings. This play will stick with you and have you thinking about it, and the world Sickles has created (or maybe predicted?) long after it ends. Can't wait to see it on stage. Well done! ”
  • Alice, Pursued by a Bear by Claudia Haas
    23 Mar. 2020
    “ An incredibly smart short play about friendship and anxiety. Haas’ choice to use a bear as the physical manifestation of Alice’s growing anxiousness is brilliant and gives directors ample opportunities for creative staging. So well done. Read it. Produce it.  ”
  • Vanilla by Scott Sickles
    21 Mar. 2020
    “ Wow. A beautiful and heartbreaking piece. In just one minute, Scott Sickles concisely and cleverly captures humanity's most basic need in a time we're supposed to be apart. Perfection in one page. ”
  • Corona with ICE by Franky D. Gonzalez
    21 Mar. 2020
    “ To quote Jed Bartlet, "What’s next?"
    We live in a world where society is always ready to move on and focus on now. In a time where many Americans' attentions are concentrated on who is hoarding toilet paper, we've swept under the rug the crucial issues that are more than a few news cycles old. In Corona with ICE, Franky Gonzalez cleverly reminds us that the arrival of a new problem does not fix the old ones. ”
