A simple concept made all the more beautiful by the stage directions. Yes, we all wish we could join them--because these are beautiful, important things that they are doing. A lovely, concise, excellent one minute play.

Chilling and exciting, this play contains a great role for an older female characters. It's quite a twist--I have to say, I didn't see it coming! Another great, gripping piece from Adams!

Hilarious, fast, and funny, who hasn't met people like this?? Community theater people are a unique breed unto themselves, and are immediately recognizable and lovingly spoofed in this hilarious short play. The jokes fly fast, and the end is a delight. Check it out!

These two characters have so much more in common than they think they do, and it's beautiful to see them interact. A great piece with two very meaty roles for actors.

Beautiful, sweet, lovingly crafted, this is a great play for children of all ages. I love the way Simon writes so tenderly about grief in a way that would help young people understand. I also love the beautiful theme of being a hero--and how heroes are those with love their hearts. Wonderful work.

Beautiful and powerful. Speckman deftly creates two characters that we fully know and understand in only two minutes. It's tender and lovely and it's a celebration of how people can be different, and they can still love each other. Wonderful.

This is absolutely hilarious, and I love the end. A laugh out loud short comedy that is too true. Our poor pets must be so anguished and confused!

There's an entire world in this play, one that we don't see, but that we can feel. The characters interact with such ease with each other--and they are compelling and frustrating and adorable and you want them to get together, but you'll be livid if they do. It's a wonderful slice of life, and a great quick read.

O'Grady is such a delightful master at personification. These characters are so funny and the dialogue is so fast and witty. I absolutely adore the tongue-in-cheek humor. O'Grady's plays are fantastic--if you've never read one, start here, and you won't want to stop!

Funny, honest, and smart as all of Osmundsen's pieces are. I love how he is unafraid to dig into the good, the bad, and the crappy. Nobody is perfect, nobody is a hero--and people are just people, even when they are faced with a dystopian landscape. A great piece that paints a future I don't want at all, but one that might happen.
