  • SO NOT CHRISTMASY CHRISTMAS by Marj O'Neill-Butler
    9 Dec. 2023
    “ This one hit a little close to home. Two of our good friends have moved back to Palm Springs and so that feeling of not being together and that feeling of knowing friends and family are spread out across the globe can make for some emotional days during the holidays. Thank goodness that we live in the days where connection is just a FaceTime call away. It won't ever replace the closeness of actually being in the same room, but it can definitely lift some of the blue of out of Christmas holiday. ”
  • Andela by Jacquelyn Floyd-Priskorn
    7 Dec. 2023
    “ There are those people in the world who become accustomed to the daily routine and ins and outs of living and what would any of us do if presented with such news as Jordan is presented with. The world itself makes it hard to believe in a higher power but what joy it would be if the miracle of one child could move us all to become better people to do good not for our own gain, but just because it’s the right thing to do. This play is devilishly funny as hell and that’s the gospel truth. ”
  • Look Away by Morey Norkin
    7 Dec. 2023
    “ I love history and love discovering things I’ve never known and certainly would have not been taught. Grant’s general order #11 is one such bit I’ve never heard of, but just as our nation seems to be on the brink of another civil war, reading or seeing this play should make us al realize what a slippery slope that comes from the generalizations of anyone and the those who make them into laws without any hesitation for their own benefit. ”
  • The Sunset Train - 10 Minute Play by Ryan Kaminski
    6 Dec. 2023
    “ The myths and legends about the Old American West are well known and passed down to all of us who love a bit of history. Kaminiski gives us such a myth in the Kid and the mysterious passenger who is with him on the train after his last robbery. This tale of two stowaways reaches a satisfactory and cathartic conclusion by play's end and you'll be glad that you were able to hitch along. ”
  • Water Damage by Daniel Prillaman
    1 Dec. 2023
    “ Love this play so much We all move into houses or apartments and hear those things that we write off as just the house settling it may be a ghost if you believe in those things. This play masterfully gives us such a house that has suffered and is still grieving from what happened to it and just like Rich, we will always wonder just what happened in any room or space that we inhabit from here on out. ”
  • HARLEY SLOANE, SKATER GIRL: A MONOLOGUE by Asher Wyndham
    29 Nov. 2023
    “ I often fear for our country when I see these things that I swore I'd never see taking place and no one says anything or does anything and it's all accepted as if it is the new normal until we are all deep in a black hole with not hope of returning, but then I it does my heart good to realize that there are the Harley Sloane's of the world who know deep down what is right and not right when she sees it and just like the comet streaking across the sky, Harley gives me hope again. ”
  • A First-Draft Second-Rate Love Story by John Busser
    26 Nov. 2023
    “ How many drafts does it take to make a play feel complete? Busser would have us think that it's at least four and for all of us sitting in the audience, we would be hoping that there is more drafts yet to come just to see this funny play keep going. Sometimes perfection sneaks up on us and delights us and I would say the only surprise is that Busser has created another delightful piece of perfection that needs to be seen by everyone. ”
  • MOSQUITO LORE [short version] by Charles Scott Jones
    21 Nov. 2023
    “ Loved the line "I just want to enjoy my virginity in peace" and the banter between god and his prey moves into such a poetic dialogue that the reader will always remember the importance of their story. ”
  • The March Of I'ds (a one minute play) by Mark Harvey Levine
    21 Nov. 2023
    “ This was the featured play of the day for me. Loved the the fact that in just a minute we get the entire relationship that may be if Suzy gives Adam her phone number at a bus stop. ”
  • Splitting the Check (Ten Minute) by Paul Donnelly
    17 Nov. 2023
    “ I was feeling sorry for Brett actually and thought, wow, to be on a date with this person who seems a little petty about paying for the meal and what portions she would cover and which ones she would not and then the ending surprised and delighted me beyond words. ”
