    “ This play is so rich in terms of science, culture and the true meaning of education. The relationship between student and professor transcends all categories we initially place them in. Full of dramatic surprises, I would love to see this produced. ”
  • WANDA: A MONOLOGUE WITH A TREADMILL by Asher Wyndham
    22 Jan. 2022
    “ This monologue captures all the chaotic anguish that a woman's life can be thrown into, as reproductive rights are undermined. The setting is an apt metaphor for Wanda's internal state. This piece needs to be heard now, before it's too late. ”
  • Fable by Doug DeVita

    “ Fable held my interest from start to finish. The characters have depth and individuality, The play is filled with humor and pathos, but what I found the most extraordinary is how fully realized all the production elements were presented. I could easily see this marvelous play on stage. Well done! I would love to see this produced. ”

    “ I saw the reading of this play at the Center for Jewish History. It is gripping, dramatic, and especially important for young people to see. In this play, Cooper shows us 2 sides of the same character at a pivotal moment in time, where life hangs in the balance. It is poetic, original and profound. ”
  • END OF PLAY. by Philip Middleton Williams

    “ I love William's biting satire on the pompous and self-indulgent nature that some "experts" at talkbacks take. As a fellow playwright, I really appreciate the absurdity of the situation. The characters are rich and the play is full of surprises. Well done! ”
  • Check-in at the Clown Motel by Lee R. Lawing
    23 Sep. 2021

  • Hide and Seek by Lee R. Lawing
    23 Sep. 2021
    “ What a delightful spin on childhood friends. This comedy is jaded, endearing and full of surprises. Would be a great addition to festivals of 10 minute plays, especially in Valdez, Alaska, where bunnies roam free. Could also be a fabulous part of a festival devoted to the Easter holiday. ”

    It's very original and full of surprises. .
    The setting is evocative, the dialogue witty, and the characters are fascinating.
    Lawing brilliantly injects humor into even the gravest of subject matter.

  • No Fences by Jan Probst

    “ This play really captures a whole world, through the unwavering attention to the details of objects, both discarded and found. It features a huge range of characters the single actress performing, can embody and take with us on her journey. Well done! ”
  • BUA TAKES 10: STONEWALL EDITION by Donna Hoke
    2 Aug. 2021
    “ This anthology tells the fascinating story of the struggle for gay rights in this country. Though a series of gripping short plays and monologues which span a century, we are treated to many personal stories of humiliation and pain, but ultimate liberation in the end. This collection would be the highlight of any LGBT and/or human rights festival. I would love to see this produced! ”
