That anticipation of what your test results are can be nerve-wracking for anyone. Take perspective parents and those results telling if you're going to become parents become an unreal roller-coaster of emotions. And love the one minute play that uses these results in a very real way.

As Lia says, come on in the water is fine. So is this monologue. What I love best is the lines about motion and not being able to be still in water and it’s true and it’s the reason I love it so. The constant motion that seems like it can go on forever and forever just like a good wave should.

What would are we without our jobs? What are we writers like without that love of creation and that need to write? This play captures so much in its short space and it's so funny to boot even as it discusses all of those things that we value in our lives and work lives. Well done

This was my feature play of the day and I'm so glad it was. Unless the world changes and the everyone is accepted right of the gate for who they are who they become, these plays will always have a purpose because we just don't have utopia coming for us any day soon. But we can have more understanding. Less judging and also less rules about sexuality up front and maybe less religion. Again, Utopia isn't calling but this play calls to me about coming to understand yourself no matter how long the road.

I felt the way Joan and Stand did on January 6 while watching what I felt was surely the start of that civil war that we all feel we're heading toward at some point. This is a truly horrifying play with decisions that you want to make for your child's life to give him or her that chance at "normal" life full of hope and promise before it completely disappears as a possibility.

Grief is a beast of a different color for ever single person on the planet and what is right for one is frowned upon by another. There are so many different rules around it when we should all just be allowed to grieve in our way and what is best for us. This was the featured play of the day for me and it's always wonderful to read those by people I know and admire as a writer.

Reading this, I was reminded of my mom and dad and my dad who would always eat the wrong things and sometimes it would put him our of commission for days and my mom was always, you know better. I think it's natural as humans to always want to push boundaries even if we know they will end up hurting us or making us feel bad. Rita and Fred seem like the everyman and everywoman of couples, but that makes their fight all the more believable and one that you are completely caught up in till the end.

I read this beautiful play first as a one act and have now discovered the magic of Floyd’s wonderful world and creation as a full length version. The poetry is still there about friendship and what balm it can be as we find our way through this world, but the world in Barn Wood and Blue Roses is one that is funny, awe-inspiring and builds toward a satisfying conclusion. I would love to see the costumes for this play as well and the set design.

This was my featured play of the day. It's one thing I've never done, the fortune telling and I feel after reading this, it's probably a good thing. I think we should have clued in when this fortune teller says they wouldn't pay for their services because they live in the moment. That line was just one of the funny ones throughout this dark piece.

We all walk one path in life. Well, we think we do. With the way our minds work, sometimes if feels like we've walked a thousand paths with our feelings and questions about life and what's real and what's not real. It can be exhausting but then what else can we do if we are a part of this world and not another.
