  • Blind Larks
    3 Aug. 2022
    Christine Fosters short play Blind Larks, had me totally engaged me from the first few lines. Four teachers trapped in a cave in a wilderness park and how they try to cope is tension filled and yet still has moments of humor. Each of the characters deal with their tension in their own unique way. I believe this play will be getting many productions. Highly recommended!
  • BLAME IT ON BARBIE, a four-minute comedy for two women
    31 Jul. 2022
    Arianna Rose’s, Blame It On Barbie, is a delight from start to finish. In this short play she manages to create two totally believable characters (a mother and a daughter), an emotional conflict and a loving resolve. Who can’t relate to disappointing our parents at one time or another? Well crafted. Highly recommended!
  • To My Dearest Wife Mary
    30 Jul. 2022
    Three letters, that's all it takes, to take you on a wonderful dark humoured, fascinating, journey. In just 2 pages To My Dearest Wife gives you a complete picture of the complex relationship of Charles and Mary. And believe me, you won't forget our Charles soon. Highly recommended!
  • LOVE AND OTHER AILMENTS
    22 Jul. 2022
    So, Teddy has come to ask his potential father-in-law William for his blessings to marry his daughter. We’ve seen this scene before. But hold on, Jack Levine’s comedic short play takes us in a direction we haven’t been before. As William tries to warn the young man about all the disadvantages of marrying his daughter, Jack comes back at him like a cool, romantic superhero, never giving in for an instant. This delightful play teaches us some unspoken truths about love --and marriage. Delightful!
  • The Dogs
    22 Jul. 2022
    This powerful short piece comes on like gangbusters and never stops. A wealthy drunk and a homeless guy go at it in an insane rant. Stolnack’s use of rough and rumble language soars. We get these two crazy guys in an instant and are immediately yanked into their universe. A wild ride!
  • The United Plays of America - Delaware

    A comedic gem! Almost every line is a chuckle. Claudia Haas has a comedic field day with language. The dilemma- too many chickens per person. How she resolves this dilemma is a delight!
  • CUPID & PSYCHO

    A charming, funny and touching two hander. Anderson gets right to the core of her down and out characters, with sensitive wit and tender concern.
  • Maps or Charts - A Curmudgeon's Monologue
    9 Jul. 2022
    From the very first line or two, in Robert Weibezahl’s beautifully constructed short monologue, “Maps or Charts - A Curmudgeon's Monologue” we immediately get a sense of the character, what he’s all about, and how he feels about things such as peoples need for directions. We all know C.C.. And Weibezahl does a great job of letting us know we do. GOOD JOB!
  • TATO BIEN!

    Vicki and Hunter, the two characters in Greer's poignant short play have a dramatic history. We soon realise that major changes have occurred in both their lives over the years. Why they're in a drug den and who they are now is the journey of this little gem. You won't forget them.
  • Real Change
    11 Jun. 2022
    A poignant and powerful short play. The interaction between the two men keeps you on the edge of your seat from one line to the next. You think you know where it's going, but then Stolnack totally surprises you. Well worth a read- and a production.
