  • Bronte's Mom by Jacquelyn Floyd-Priskorn

    “ Being a Dog and Cat dad, this play pleases me so much. I love the intimacy of the couple and their struggle to get past one set-back on the possibility of having children as if that might help their relationship, but in this quiet scene, we learn that there is a stronger bond than the dog or the possibility of children, there is their bond that they re-discover is as strong as the first night they fell in love and talked about future plans which probably included, dogs, children, a house , dreams and world all their own. ”
  • Cake by Jacquelyn Floyd-Priskorn

    “ The pits of depression can be overwhelming. And we all seem to be so afraid to talk about it or discuss it as if it might be a drag on the conversation. And yet when we do seek help and seek a solution to end it, it should be the point that’s first and foremost. I speak from experience and know that my pits are still there, but thankfully not as dark as the once were. Priskorn offers a meditation on thee subject in her delightful and very though-provoking play which is dessert enough for us all. ”
  • Cracked Slipper by Jacquelyn Floyd-Priskorn
    27 Sep. 2021
    “ A tale as old as time (Okay that was Beauty and the Beast) but Cinderella is right up there with that one as being a classic and I love what Priskorn does with the prince in the monologue. It’s current and relatable for any young audience out there as well as the older ones. A classic indeed. ”
  • Faerie Ring by Jacquelyn Floyd-Priskorn
    27 Sep. 2021
    “ Giving birth is a joy for most, but for those mothers who suffer from Postpartum depression, it must be an extra burden that would be confusing to anyone not suffering. In this moving allegory, Priskorn shows us a distraught mother who must leave her baby behind to find solace among the faeries only to have her grown daughter track her down for a confrontation and that wisdom can be shared at every part of motherhood. ”
  • The Shower by J.Lois Diamond
    23 Sep. 2021
    “ Parent-child relationships are definitely not without their speed bumps and often make great material for plays. The Shower is no different and it's peppered with the humor that Diamond does so well. This made me nostalgic in the best of ways as the warmth that is so obviously felt between Adele and Julie resonates off the page and it wraps you in a bath robe that you just want to pull tight around you to make the feeling last! ”
  • Cottonmouth - Ten Minute Play by Lindsay Kennedy
    22 Sep. 2021
    “ Adams brings a very new and interesting twist to a story of madness and the web that can entrap you. I love the setting as madness and the Gothic South seem to go hand in hand. But what resonates me the most is the chilling monologue that is written and that after I finished this play, I needed time to contemplate it and digest it and appreciate if which I did immensely. ”
  • Cows 'N' Moon by Christopher Plumridge
    21 Sep. 2021
    “ You’re drawn into this quirky comedy as easily are your the nursery rhyme but what you’re left with is a existential commentary on friendship and support groups and that even if you don’t succeed at a dream you put your mind to do, it’s the fact that you put your mind to it that matters the most! ”
  • Tomorrow Comes by James T. Washburn
    21 Sep. 2021
    “ I appreciate this play so much! Coming from a co-parenting situation like the family in this play, I'm always hit by it shouldn't matter to anyone if there is love for the child and love in the family. But there were so many "morals" that were brought in to rule over the way things would be, it makes you think of all the possibilities that were missed for an alternative way of bringing up a child so that "god" wouldn't be offended or god's flock. This is for today as much as tomorrow. Keep up the fight!! ”
  • What we need at the end of the day… by Brian James Polak
    21 Sep. 2021
    “ I hear so many stories from friends of parents who didn't love them or didn't stay to raise them and I always think, how could a person be that broken inside and not have it in themselves to at least stay connected with a child as they grew up even if they didn't "want" or "love" them . There are so many duties in our lives that we've instilled around us to keep order. Sometimes it's better if we just let some of them slip from our list of responsibilities and Polak's play gives us an idea about one. ”
  • Reunion by Ben Rosenblatt
    20 Sep. 2021
    “ This is such an intense 10 minutes to experience reading and would be so darkly funny on stage to see. Rosenblatt presents the classic sibling rivalry story but raises the bar with the story that you need to read as it is as shocking as it is surprising and ending is just perfect. ”
