  • Zoom Revenge
    12 Jun. 2020
    Anyone who has ever been bullied, and perhaps those who were the bullies, should appreciate Lawing's take on getting revenge in the age of Zoom. A very amusing short play that teenagers should read in a time where people treat others unkindly both in and out of the public square. Hope you take the time to read this play.
  • Good Grief
    12 Jun. 2020
    What a clever concept created by Williams to explore the possible benefits of grief. I enjoyed the writing and the conceit that grief can be as beautiful or as ugly as the survivors want it to be. In this case, beauty kind of wins out...an enjoyable short play worth reading.
  • DOUBLE TROUBLE, a 5-minute comedy
    1 Jun. 2020
    A terrific, full-bodied five-minute play, with a truly clever plot, full of humanity and fun. Arianna has a gift for creating entirely believable characters, put into all kinds of situations from tragic to comic. Here, comedy wins, and good for all of us!
  • SWAMP GIRL
    1 Jun. 2020
    Marj's characters are always so fully realized, and this is no exception. The clever story brings two people together who couldn't be more different, yet there is a tremendous amount of humanity as the "common sense" woman tries to help her more "clueless" good friend. Much humor, and the action always seems real, which is Marj's specialty. Very much worth reading.
  • ADRIFT
    1 Jun. 2020
    Short and to the point: Adrift is hilariously written with great characters and a great twist at the end. Ms. Warfield has a terrific ear for dialogue. Loved it!
  • ROOM 27
    1 Jun. 2020
    I really enjoyed the premise of this play, and, as soon as I saw the character list, I knew what the significance was of the number "27." Very clever, and, seeing a Zoom version of the play, it clearly works that way, and would work on a stage. With crackling dialogue, the play also takes on a surprisingly nostalgic tone, comparing the classic music of the characters favorably against today's music mish-mash. Worth reading, and should be seen, too.

    Madcap is indeed the perfect word to describe R.S.V.P. I've had the pleasure of seeing this musical play performed with its wonderfully clever book and songs. It is hilarious, with great roles for all the actors, and deserves to be seen. Kudos to all involved!

  • A FERRY TALE

    This is a lovely play with a moving surprise. Worth reading and would love to see it performed.
  • TOUCH THE MOON - full-length play, 5 characters
    6 Feb. 2020
    This play is going to touch everyone's heart. It's based on fact, is thrilling in its conception, and so well-written. You will feel something for every character, even the one(s) you may not be rooting for. It is starting to be noticed, which is great, so let's hope it gets the production it deserves.
