- Any Cookies, Scones? by26 May. 2020“ Rinkel provides a slice of life in the Starbucks line, complete with a treat at the end. ”
- Beached (a one minute play) by26 May. 2020“ Great little piece for a short play or 1 min play festival. Jack and Caroline find themselves in a situation that, apart from the virus existing, many might envy! ”
- Belle, ex-wife of a Beast by26 May. 2020“ Good fit for a spunky actress, filled with moments of defiance, humor, vulnerability, and power! I could see teen actresses especially enjoying this piece for performance or as audition material. ”
- I Was a Frog Once (a one-minute play) by26 May. 2020“ Precious and oh-so-satisfying. A near perfect 60 seconds between a king and a princess, but more importantly, a man and his granddaughter. ”
- RENATA: A POST-MATERNITY MONOLOGUE by26 May. 2020“ ALL. OF. THIS. What a brilliant monologue for a powerful and feisty woman. A winning piece of writing that captures the post-partum experience and champions it. ”
- How Straight, White, Privileged, Male Academics Talk In Private (10 minute) by25 May. 2020“ The privilege was MINE to read this satire that, as a female adjunct instructor, hits a little too close to home! Filled with witty exchanges and one-liners, I can only conclude that irony is NOT dead after all! ”
- Barbie Throws a House Party! by25 May. 2020“ Hilarious play! Weingarten has a unique voice and style that makes this even more fun to read! There were so many lines I loved! For instance:
"Wait, so this summmmer, we should buy a pink cabin blow up dream house
and blow it up on the beach
and like drink s’more diet milkshakes lattes.
Might be kinda expensive to buy all that
But we can probs get my dad to buy them for us
If we cry a lot and throw plates at him and stuff."
Great stuff. Would be super fun to direct or be in! ” - The Bearer (A One-Minute Play) by25 May. 2020“ Beautiful. Powerful. Subtle. Real. I loved this piece and the emotional punch of it's ending. As a parent and a child both, this hits home in so many ways. Bravo! ”
- Fanny Brice by25 May. 2020“ A wonderfully vivid piece that both reveals and withholds, making us want more! Fanny is well-drawn and real, and any actress is sure to enjoy putting the work in on this piece and relish performing it. ”
