  • A Semicolon is a Double by Larry Rinkel
    28 Sep. 2019
    “ This is a love story with all of the warmth and hope that comes along when two very different types realize through all the outer differences that they have so much in common. It has everything you want in a short play: characters you care about, dialogue that brings them to life, and the awkward tenderness that makes the two young men in this story so attractive to the audience and to each other. ”
  • EGG IN SPOON by Rachael Carnes
    28 Sep. 2019
    “ The voices in this short play are powerful and distinct, and Rachael Carnes has proved once again that she can bring them to the fore in ways that are funny, poignant, and sobering all at the same time. I heard it at the 2019 Midwest Dramatists Conference and hope with all my heart it is produced many times for all to see. ”
  • Through the Darkest of Stars, Toward the Brightest of Futures by John Adams
    28 Sep. 2019
    “ Imagine Jules Verne meeting up with one of the Bronte sisters and you'd end up with a delightful story of class, intrigue, and manor manners on a distant moon. It's all a fun romp, and as Her Majesty might note, "We are very amused." Heard at the 2019 Midwest Dramatists Conference, it was laughter all the way. ”
  • Women Wear White - Ten Minute Play by Lindsay Kennedy
    28 Sep. 2019
    “ The lesson of "those who forget the past are doomed to repeat it" is taught well and powerfully in this ten-minute play, heard at the 2019 Midwest Dramatists Conference. Lindsay Adams shows us how the message of the past can be a haunting reminder of how far we have to go in overcoming our past. ”
  • Saga by Joshua H. Cohen
    28 Sep. 2019
    “ What happens when mythology and millennials meet? Hilarity, for one thing, and in the deft hands of Joshua H. Cohen, it's a fun romp through legend and cultural references. I loved the humor and the generous spirit of this play, heard at the 2019 Midwest Dramatists Conference. All I needed was popcorn. ”
  • An Unquiet Past (Original title: Scar Tissues) by William Triplett
    28 Sep. 2019
    “ William Triplett has given us a powerful and harrowing moment in the lives of two people and holds nothing back. I heard this at the Midwest Dramatists Conference 2019 and it stuck with me long after it was over. Making a hard choice is never easy, but in the time it takes to tell the tale we see how lives that have already been changed can change even more. ”
  • LAST EXIT by Rachael Carnes
    24 Sep. 2019
    “ This is an Edward Hopper painting come to life with seemingly simple brush strokes that really reveal great depth. You know these people, and in this short time they are brought to life. This is intimate theatre at its best. ”
  • I'm Just a Kid by Chris Gacinski
    24 Sep. 2019
    “ Having just been through my first Code Red drill at my new school job, this searing monologue hits with an unforgiving punch. Not for the faint-of-heart, but it cannot be ignored. ”
  • Three Hours Until Departure by Chris Gacinski
    19 Sep. 2019
    “ Chris Gacinski gets us to the edge of our seats from the first beat and carries us through to the end. This character study of a driven-to-extremes man who struggles with both money and morality forced into an impossible choice and keeps the audience in suspense to the last minute. ”
  • Overeater: A Monologue by Eytan Deray
    19 Sep. 2019
    “ A strong piece that comes from the heart, and in the hands of a good actor this would be a knock-out at any monologue festival. Eytan knows how to get the most out of his characters. Bravo! ”
