  • Antigone's Sister by Emma Goldman-Sherman
    6 Jul. 2021
    “ Antigone's Sister is filled with such raw emotions of the possibilities of what our world could have been like if we had all only started out on the same footing in life and had been given the same possibilities of equality from the very start of life. I loved the theatricality of the staging and the language which gives it a sense of calm to the reader and audience member even though you are screaming inside of how wrong our world was and is. Thank the gods Goldman-Sherman is there to bring this injustice to light with her beautiful words. ”
  • AMELIA RICARDO: AN IMMIGRATION LAWYER MONOLOGUE by Asher Wyndham
    5 Jul. 2021
    “ Another searing monologue by Wyndham who voices a voice for those who do not have one and those who have been pushed back into the system or removed from the country. It's a crime that we cannot get on board with being able to help these people and remind ourselves that even our ancestors came over for the same reason all the new immigrants are trying to get in, to set their life path in a new world of hope and promise and not just the hatred from everyone who is fighting anyone new and in need. ”
  • ALIEN FARMER'S WIFE by Charles Scott Jones
    4 Jul. 2021
    “ This play has three things I always enjoy reading about: aliens, love and humor! Jones Alien Farmer's Wife is humorous and lovely ode to first love and looking for the right person among the zillions of possibilities out there in the universe. Peggy and Wilbur are endearing characters who glow with such personalty. And just like we learned from Dorothy all those years ago, sometimes the best yang for your ying is in your own back yard. ”
  • Spokane Beauty (a one-minute play) by Matthew Weaver
    4 Jul. 2021
    “ It's the simple things that will take you on a journey that you don't even think possible by seeing it, but suddenly time disappears around you. Sometimes it's a picture you come across, or a an object like in Weaver's play where he's written an ode of love for his home city. ”
  • Fortune (short play) by David Hansen
    2 Jul. 2021
    “ Sweet lesson play about making sure you honor the universe and not tempt the fates by taking things you're not supposed to. ”
  • THE 13TH CRIME by Monica Cross
    1 Jul. 2021
    “ Funny rift of the holiday consumerism of our current times, where Cyber Mondays means more than spending time with someone or just donating your time to a homeless shelter or numerous other ideas you can do to truly give back to your community and your sanity. Time does change, like celebrating the actual 12 days of Christmas at their proper time, but what hasn't changed is the hope we can all pass on for just a little bit of the magic all year long to keep the true meaning of giving on-going and not crammed into one month. ”
  • The Shark Play by Miranda Jonté
    1 Jul. 2021
    “ A dark comedy that delights the senses, but what makes this play work like a magical charm is the love story beneath the waters. Ben and Sully may not be lovers in the true sense, but their connection as co-hosts and friends runs just a deep with emotions and pent-up feelings as any lovers may feel and they find themselves at a cross-roads with their relationship and what they each want at this intersections brings about the inevitable pain and suffering for each. All as a feeding frenzy happens beneath them. ”
  • Polaroid by Eric Duhon
    1 Jul. 2021
    “ Family secrets are always a rich pool to swim in and Duhon gives us a beautiful play where family secrets tumble out into a rich tapestry of understanding of how the family dynamic that we all learn to follow is not as set in stone as some of the world tries to make it. That this is all done with photographs of the past is such tribute to a certain time and place, but love and understanding that our parents are just humans like we are is the true beauty of this play! ”
  • A Wicked Slice by John Busser
    1 Jul. 2021
    “ Nobody does dark comedy better than Busser and A Wicked Slice is another perfect gem from his must-read collection of plays. If you haven't read one of his plays do yourself a favor by adding one of them your library. You won't ever regret that addition! ”
  • failing at a 1-page play festival by John Mabey
    1 Jul. 2021
    “ At least this play got a hit in the production circuit because Mabey nails it with a capital P and A for the pain and agony it is to be a writer, and also the pain and agony of submitting to these festivals. But he also nails what it is to be a community that do support each other and have each other's back until they don't. I'm sure there's a little Satan in all of us in the end. ”
