    Wow! I had no idea where this play was going, even until the end. I loved its surprises and interconnections. A powerful meditation on action, inaction, and human nature, all framed by a beautiful, sometimes destructive aspect of nature itself. This play provides a lot for directors and actors to work with thematically. Would love to see it staged!
  • No, Go Ahead: A One-Minute Zoom Play
    17 Feb. 2021
    A super quick, fun, and almost painfully realistic look at human communication during the Zoom era.
  • Tampering with Evidence
    10 Feb. 2021
    Tampering with Evidence is an incredibly powerful reimagining of Antigone--it works almost too well, showing us just how unjust our societal systems have persisted to be for centuries. Read this play, produce this play. So many uncomfortable, yet necessary truths in 10 minutes.

    Black lives matter, Black art matters.
  • Life in the Arctic
    9 Feb. 2021
    An absurd, fun little play that surprises, delights, and packs a powerful, emotional punch at the end. Would be an especially great addition to climate change showcases or theatre festivals celebrating Earth and science.
  • The People You Meet in Heaven
    7 Feb. 2021
    A great little comedy that delivers laughs throughout AND a killer closing, all in 1 minute.
  • Genesis, From the Perspective of the Tree
    6 Feb. 2021
    A beautiful reimagining of creation. Well done.
  • Five Bears - a very short play
    6 Feb. 2021
    Really short piece that subtly and softly illuminates the first year of a relationship and the investment of its partners.
  • How Are You Called? (5-minute)
    6 Feb. 2021
    "The not knowing is always my fault somehow."

    Absolutely stunning short piece of theatre. Immersive, spiritual, important. Please read and produce this play!
  • Camp Cryptid
    6 Feb. 2021
    A fun, fascinating, and immersive take on Sasquatch, cryptids, and if monsters truly are real.
  • The "I" in Stores
    6 Feb. 2021
    A refreshing, playwright's take on the covid-19 play, and achieved in 1 minute!
