  • Donald Loftus: A Fashionable Funeral

    A Fashionable Funeral by Bette Carlson Siler is hysterical. Take it from someone who spent their whole career in the fashion and cosmetics business; Ms. Siler hit all the right notes as two friends critique the makeup and fashion of the corps at the wake. Well done!

  • Donald Loftus: The Return

    Once again, Roberta Pyzel creates a powerful drama. Her characters are so clearly drawn, and her dialogue is so authentic that we often forget we are reading/seeing a play. It feels so real, and we know these people well. Easy to stage with a cast of just three... and yet it delivers a punch we will not soon forget.

  • Donald Loftus: DO OVER - a 30 minute drama for four characters

    Once again Arianna Rose creates a fascinating and thought-provoking play leaving the viewer in the kind of emotional state they may have experienced after reading a classic by Stephen King. The dialogue is crisp, the characters are clear and fully developed and the plot keeps us totally engrossed from start to finish.
    Totally captivating!

  • Donald Loftus: Interventions

    Greg Lam creates smart, witty and touching characters and puts them in a situation which completely takes us off-guard. This sci-fi romance hits the funny bone and the heart...and all in just ten minutes.

  • Donald Loftus: THE WEIRD SISTERS

    It is amazing what Charles Scott Jones can create in just ten pages. Four characters and clever, clipped dialogue carry this imaginative look at relationships to its delightful and surprising ending. Wonderfully imaginative.

  • Donald Loftus: Abandonment [a 1-minute play]

    Steven G. Martin is a true artist. He has created a number of short plays that absolutely capture the audience and make us feel something important in as little as one minute. Pure brilliance. I would love to see an entire evening of his work on a stage.

  • Donald Loftus: Gentlemen

    A hysterical view of an experience most men have actually lived through. Great characters and witty dialogue combined with a non-conventional theatrical setting make this play work extremely well.

  • Donald Loftus: FAMILY BY NUMBERS Award-winning 10-minute drama

    It is clear to see why "FAMILY BY NUMBERS”, Arianna Rose’s beautifully written play about families has won multiple awards. It is not only a compelling drama that captures us from the start and holds us until the final blackout, it is also a cleverly devised play using a “numbering device” that drives its important message straight home. It is most impressive what Ms. Rose can make us feel in just ten minutes.

  • Donald Loftus: This.....

    Ms. Stuccio's dialogue is honest and powerful. Her ability to take us to the scene of the crime is so real, it actually makes you nervous! A terrific set-up which holds our attention throughout. Well done!

  • Donald Loftus: THE NAZI WHO TURNED

    Carol Berman's dialogue is so authentic and gripping, you feel like you are in the room with these colorful characters. Although set in the sixties and dealing with Nazi’s from the 40’s, it feels uncomfortably relevant to these times we are living in.
