  • Laurie Allen: Visitation

    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!

  • Laurie Allen: GOOD GRIEF

    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!

  • Laurie Allen: Gown

    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!

  • Laurie Allen: The Aging Fairy (from the THE WRINKLE RANCH AND OTHER PLAYS ABOUT GROWING OLD collection)

    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!

  • Laurie Allen: Consumer Confidence

    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!

  • Laurie Allen: It's My Party!, a 10-minute play

    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!

  • Laurie Allen: A Quiet Place

    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!
