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!

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!

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.

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!

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.

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.

What you resist runs you. Jennifer O'Grady has written a lovely play about how our secrets can imprison us, close us off to so much in life. Alex has a secret that keeps him always on edge. Sofia his high school friend desperately tries to help him open up to his true self. Their relationship is beautifully realised in this truthful and poignant play.

This very touching monologue brings back 9-11 in a tender yet powerful way. It is reflective and haunting. By not describing the actual events Lisa Dellagiarino Feriend's monologue gets inside of you and allows you to be there once again- in your own way. Beautiful.

Now THIS is FUNNY! Marjorie is a hoot. The things she says about love and relationships are just hys-terical. When discussing a guy she was crazy about--"Even his dog is perfect!' If you want some big chuckles tune into Marjorie and The Right Front Door, now!

So you think you know what's going on. You've seen this type of encounter before. But then the rug is pulled out and you're in a totally different place. You think, "Hey, what just happened?!" You'll think that thought a few more times before the story ends. Each line another clue. And then... And then...! ---Masterfully suspenseful.
