  • A Story About a Girl
    8 Feb. 2020
    What a poignant play full of all the aches of growing up as an outsider. Heart breaking and all too real. Bethany's stifled voice speaks eloquently for us all.
  • Fossil Lady
    5 Feb. 2020
    This play is simply magical. In just a few short pages, Haas transports us to 19th century England, where Mary has an active scientific mind, which the prevailing culture tries to crush. Yet despite that oppression, she prevails. I would love to see this produced.
  • Zombie Barbie (a monologue)
    30 Jan. 2020
    This wildly original monologue is full of wit and wicked social commentary. A hilarious satire which any actress would gladly sink her teeth into. Would be a great addition to any short play festival. Produce this!
  • YOUNG VETERAN ADAM AMERSON: A MONOLOGUE
    25 Jan. 2020
    A very powerful monologue from the pov of a veteran who's been scarred by war. Disturbing and provocative, this play would be a thrill and a challenge for any actor lucky enough to be cast.
  • Miracle and Her Minion
    10 Jan. 2020
    A heart breaking, yet funny depiction of adolescents' desperate need for love and acceptance. The supernatural ritual moves the story along in dynamic and surprising ways. A delightful play with great roles for young actors.
  • THE PANIC DEFENSE
    8 Jan. 2020
    I recently saw a reading of The Panic Defense. These characters are distinct, compelling and real. It is impossible not to get engaged in their life and death struggles. I'd love to see a full production of this powerful and moving play., which also provides some great roles for lucky actors.
    A timely story which must be heard. Produce this!
  • Faith
    3 Jan. 2020
    Very powerful monologue ,laden with angst and the struggle to believe.. A new take on an old story which is vivid and moving. The language is poetic and propelled by a driving rhythm. A gift for a lucky actor,
  • OINK (re-titled)
    28 Dec. 2019
    A charming and whimsical play about the stresses of dealing with a room mate. Would be a great addition to a short play festival. Actors would have fun with this one!
  • Counting in Sha'ab
    27 Dec. 2019
    This play conveys the horrors of war in a succinct and poetic manner, through the lens of a variety of characters, all of whom share the need to count something uniquely important to them. In a world where all is lost, this metaphor becomes their refuge and anchor. Evocative and chilling, this piece has some excellent roles for Middle Eastern actors.
  • PARTNER OF —
    15 Dec. 2019
    Powerful and poetic, this plays captures the horrors Sally Hemings faced in the context of the intimacy of 3 generations of women. Understated and honest. Would love to see this performed.
