  • Ancient Wisdom of the Shoebill Stork
    16 Apr. 2024
    Jacquelyn Floyd-Priskorn’s play, The Shoebill Stork, is intriguing, funny and fascinating. I had no idea where it was going, but totally enjoyed the ride. This play takes you to places you’ve probably never been before. And aside from being truly original- it’s quite enjoyable! Read it, you’ll see what I mean!
  • Tink in the Clink
    13 Apr. 2024
    From the first lines we know we're in a very different kind of Never Never Land. Tinker Bell is in jail and we quickly learn she's not the same Tinker Bell we thought we knew. And Peter isn't the same guy we thought he was. I loved Dana Hall's dark humour illuminating perhaps the "real" Peter and Wendy. The little gem is funny, clever and... eye opening.
  • Apples & Awards
    18 Mar. 2024
    Rachel Feeny-Williams Apples & Awards is one fun ride. Mrs Graidy, who has won the Apple Pie Competition for 15 years has----lost this year. OH NO! And she is not taking this well. Matter of fact she has a knife in her hand to show it. This delight of a play has tons of fun turns and surprises. It's a delicious treat!
  • What Baggage
    12 Mar. 2024
    What Baggage by Kim E.Ruyle is a total delight! Two seniors have just made love and suddenly their conversation turns to moving into together and all the possibilities and problems they may encounter. The play is charming, touching, surprising, and very funny. The characters and dialogue feel totally believable. This is one of those plays you never want to end. It's a winner- read it-- and see!
  • "Eight Aunt Marys"
    11 Mar. 2024
    Eileen's confessions at the last moments of her life in this extraordinary monologue are powerful, shocking, and touching. Not a thought is censored, it all just pours out. Andrew Martineau has written an exceptional monologue that lingers on long after you've finished reading it. You may need a few moments after reading Eight Aunt Mary's to feel the full extent of what you've just read/experienced- I did.
  • NIGHT OF A THOUSAND SIPS
    9 Mar. 2024
    Every moment of this tension filled monologue keeps you connected to what Wendy, an alcoholic is going through. In Charles Scott Jones Night of A Thousand Sips, the inner torment is visceral. Should Wendy take a sip of that whiskey sour she's holding?! Beautifully written and totally believable. A wonderful monologue!
  • Speed-Dating: A Day at the Races
    26 Feb. 2024
    The first thing I noticed when reading Nora Louise Syran’s exquisite monologue, Speed-Dating: A Day At The Races, was her beautiful use of language- It’s exquisitely written. As she guides us through her deeply felt experience of speed dating, she expresses so much about what her character is feeling and thinking with each potential suitor. I was with her every step of the way. A wonderful monologue.
  • Hold My Hand (a one-minute play)
    24 Feb. 2024
    It's truly amazing how John Busser creates suspense and then a startling surprise all within a ONE MINUTE play. You may have an idea where you think you're going, but just wait. --- Tale this ride, you'll be thrilled in a minute.
  • Cage
    21 Jan. 2024
    Who’d ever think a monologue delivered by a pet rabbit could be so touching, painful and relatable? Jennifer O’Grady’s beautiful monologue CAGE, is poignant, painful and truthful. Some really lovely writing. Read it, you’ll be glad you did.
  • Getting to Know You
    20 Jan. 2024
    Donald E. Baker’s GETTING TO KNOW YOU, gets right to the point in the first few lines. Two co-workers, one gay and one straight are sharing a hotel room at a business conference. An “incident” has occurred and the two attempt to define what it means. The play moves like gangbusters as the two men thrash out what really happened. A quick read, a thought provoking play.
