  • Closing Doors by John Minigan
    23 Aug. 2020
    “ This is a very powerful play, which explores the complexities of school shootings. Minigan lays out the various issues through two fully realized characters. Educators and parents need to see this performed. We live in a new dark reality and we need plays like this to guide us into action and better future policy. ”
  • Saturday -- 10 minute play by Deborah Zoe Laufer
    30 Jul. 2020
    “ What a charming and funny story about the restrictions religions place on the faithful, and how odd they seem to an outsider. This play has two rich characters engaged in a commonplace, yet dramatic situation. This was a sheer delight to read, and would be fun to see staged. ”

  • She Hung Up by Elaine Smith
    28 Jul. 2020
    “ What a charming family drama, full of angst, warmth and humor.! Smith has written some very believable characters who authentically sound like a married couple. This play would be a great addition to any 10 minute play festival. Well done! ”
  • THE MASK-A-RAIDER (Monologue) by Sam Affoumado
    27 Jul. 2020

  • Evil Eye by Madhuri Shekar
    18 Jul. 2020
    “ This play is so compelling. The characters are complex and distinct and the relationships are very believable. It reminded me of conversations I used to have with my mother. There is a dark twist to this play which comes from Hindu/Buddhist beliefs. Every aspect of this play is deeply rooted in the richness of South Asian culture. Well done! ”
