    7 Jan. 2023
    A riveting play about the intensity of a mother’s love and the lengths to which she will go through to make her child happy, even if she finds herself participating in his destruction. A thought-provoking play that will tug on your heart! The ending will bring it all together and catch you off guard. It sure did me. Powerful!
  • GOOD GRIEF
    7 Sep. 2022
    Hilarious and clever play about what happens when the man of your dreams is not the man of your dreams. Or is he? Loved the lines, the twists, and the turns! Bravo Janet!

    Such a beautiful play! At first, it’s a puzzle. You’re like the associate, confused. But then you catch on and want to cry, but also smile as this heartwarming play proceeds with a beautiful and touching ending. Bravo!
  • The Aging Fairy (from the THE WRINKLE RANCH AND OTHER PLAYS ABOUT GROWING OLD collection)
    21 Jul. 2022
    Okay, who hasn’t wanted to turn back time and get their youth back? A young, gay, eager, and dramatic Aging Fairy, complete with a wand and rainbow confetti, is here to do just that! But hold on! Maybe going back isn’t such a great idea. What a hilarious play with an unexpected path and ending that will keep you laughing till the end. Would love to see this one staged!
  • GWEN HAS A DATE
    17 Mar. 2022
    The vetting committee is here to approve of Gwen’s new date! We all need friends like this. What a sweet and funny play, with quick witted lines that ring oh, so true. You will be smiling, laughing, and crossing your fingers that Hugh passes the test. A festival winner!
  • Consumer Confidence
    13 Mar. 2022
    An absolutely hilarious play about a retired teacher attempting to return a rather embarrassing item to a store where her former elementary student works. When the clerk questions why her “friend” didn’t buy the item himself, she explains, “I was a Girl Scout so I wanted to be prepared.” Susan Middaugh’s play will keep you grinning from ear to ear from beginning to end! A winner!
  • It's My Party!, a 10-minute play
    2 Oct. 2021
    A touching drama of two women from different backgrounds, both caught up in crime, who connect in life only because they have one shared goal, to be released from jail. Clinging to hope which turns to disappointment, these two women ultimately share a heartfelt moment of connection. Well written and deeply memorable!
  • A Quiet Place
    3 Sep. 2021
    A Quiet Place is a hilarious piece about that one person, who we’ve all known, who refuses to follow the unspoken rules. So, sometimes you must take matters into your own hands! Great writing! Loved this play!
  • The Pain In the Poetry
    2 May. 2021
    A hilarious two-character comedy! Every playwright/writer can relate this play! That moment when you finally announce, “I wrote a play.” What comes next is not what you want or expect! The twists, turns, and secrets disclosed will keep you laughing till the end! Highly recommend!
  • Crazy Quilts
    21 Apr. 2021
    Karen Fix Curry skillfully reveals the connection between the ladies of the Crazy Quilts group, while so gently and cleverly drawing you into an unexpected, jaw-dropping story! Justifiably wicked, hilarious, and compassionate all wrapped into one brilliant play! Highly recommended!
