This is a hilariously engineered story over which frequent texters should howl. (The directions/conditions described at the beginning of the script could be their own ten-minute play.) Mr. Busser has crafted (however accidentally) a play that subtly skews our society's obsession with technology, but also touches on the problem of misinformation and what it can do to relationships. At least that's what I think, but possibly I didn't get it because of autocorrect. (LOL) Well done!

A very respectable mystery thriller with a great twist, by this prolific and talented author. I am jealous that she can think of so many different ideas for plays. This one has tension, snappy dialogue and a delicious finish, and should be a big crowd pleaser in any short play festival.

A delightful play about a touchy subject, that most writers aren't willing to touch. The dialogue between the characters is priceless and I hope, not too racy for theater companies to consider, because it's a lot of fun, as well as providing us all with something to think about, i.e., it's not what you have, it's what you do with it. Enough said.

I found this play to be moving and timely. Norkin's depiction of the bubbie was spot on, funny when it needed to be, and serious when she is making a point about hate. A very successful walk on the tightrope between the two sentiments. This is a play that should be seen!

A funny, theatrical play filled with comic intensity. Will the professor jump? Will the student find her light? A comic commentary on dealing with failure and despair? Why not? Martineau ups the stakes throughout and it's a delightfully manic ride.

Ms. Cole has written a terrifically funny, on-target spoof of Hallmark films, with a twist most unlike what you'd find in a real Hallmark film, and all the better for us. Witty dialogue and a great set-up make this a fun play for a holiday-related play festival.

As someone who took forever to come out, I identified with the fear of Brett's character. Years later, I wondered why I was so afraid to be myself. (No longer an issue...LOL). Heyman's set up of the story is excellent, the dialogue realistic and funny...and the ending was just as I hoped it would be. Well done!

This is a sweet, fantastical play about remembrance, regret and ultimately, love. It has lovely, atmospheric dialogue and would be a lovely play for a short play festival with good roles for the two actresses.

A terrific premise with a great twist, "Borderline" meets the immigration issue head on and it's topsy turvy for the town mayor who suddenly finds out he is suddenly...well, I'm not giving away the ending. Mr. Warren's dialogue is clever and very much on point.

Not only is this short monologue timely, it is a lesson in Yiddish, and funny, too, although the underlying situation involving Mr. Farshtunkener is not.
