  • LEAP (a one act play) by Elliot Kreloff
    11 May. 2024
    “ The backstory of "Leap" is like a sitcom episode, but Elliot Kreloff has imbued vulnerability and sweetness in this romantic comedy between men. There's humor, too, and a bit of an historic look at being single during the Clinton-era presidency. ”
  • Morto D. Gatto by Jean Ciampi
    9 May. 2024
    “ This short comedy is a lot of fun. Jean Ciampi has established a lot situational humor, physical humor, dramatic irony, and twist upon very dark twist in "Morto D. Gatto." Audiences and actors alike will love it. ”
  • Clone by DC Cathro
    8 May. 2024
    “ An absolute must-read play. This dark, shining gem of a drama produces shivers and provokes deep thoughts.

    "Clone" is about those in power with the opportunity to abuse it, and those who have none. It's a clear-eyed prediction of what the future may be and a metaphor of several populations considered "less than." ”
  • We Dreamed Ourselves by Mildred Inez Lewis
    8 May. 2024
    “ I love the characters Mildred Inez Lewis creates in "We Dreamed Ourselves" -- the Has-Been and the Never-Will-Be. Actors will love playing TKF-Seven and Grady. I also love the tone. There's comedy in this short play, but also the tragedy of knowing things are slipping away without taking action to stop it. ”
  • THERE IS NO OTHER PATH by Jerry Polner
    5 May. 2024
    “ The satire hits hard on the cosmetics industry, the marketing scammers, and social pressures on young girls. "There is No Other Path" left me cringing, laughing, and feeling angry. I hope its production history multiplies. ”
  • Laundry Day by Neil Radtke
    1 May. 2024
    “ "Laundry Day" is a terrific one-minute drama that includes a rich comeuppance for one of its characters. Well done, Neil Radtke. I wish I'd written this. ”
  • Unfrozen (A Monologue) by Lee R. Lawing
    27 Apr. 2024
    “ You will care about a sock puppet. You will care about the man who cares about the sock puppet, Lee Lawing's writing squeezes your heart and won't let go. Astounding monologue. ”
  • I Knew Him by DC Cathro
    22 Apr. 2024
    “ "I Knew Him" is an outstanding example of the power of empathy and listening and understanding: Lives change. ”
  • RAVINE (a 1-min stage play) by Michele Clarke
    22 Apr. 2024
    “ An intense, pulse-pounding thriller. ”
  • Perfect by Kerry Kazmierowicztrimm
    21 Apr. 2024
    “ I'd love to watch "Perfect" in performance. The tone of this short play by Kerry Kazmierowicztrimm shifts throughout, but there's a subtle, underlying, "not-quite-right" feeling from the start. And it ratchets up with multiple reveals and genuine surprises. I love that the climax of the conflict is visual, and it is breathtaking and funny and a little upsetting all at once. Better yet, I love how "Perfect" makes me wonder about character backstory and what has led to this moment Kerry Kazmierowicztrimm has dramatized. An excellent, complex short play. ”
