  • The Rules [an immersive 1-minute play] by Steven G. Martin
    19 Mar. 2021
    “ There's nothing more horrific than warfare and The Rules paints such a gruesome picture of this type of conflict, putting the audience front and center of it all. Another gem by Martin! ”
  • Uncomfortable [a 1-minute monologue] by Steven G. Martin
    19 Mar. 2021
    “ They say the world can change with one person making a difference. Martin's stunning 1-minute play offers that one person a chance to help, to notice, to understand and have empathy with, but the stage falls silent around William's world and encases the reader with such sickening realization as the mirror is held up very close to our face. ”
  • Password: 2020 Escape Room [a 1-minute play] by Steven G. Martin
    19 Mar. 2021
    “ Oh my gosh. This play made me so claustrophobic and start panicking so badly. Martin's 1-minute play is a funny and wild ride. It reminds me that so many of us except some sort of help at some point in our lives and here these five friends do just that and realize with horror that it's not coming. It would also be a great piece to see live! ”
  • Win and Tim and the Unlikelihood of Living Forever [a 1-minute play] by Steven G. Martin
    19 Mar. 2021
    “ Meditation apps are always telling us to live in the moment because that's where the best living is to be had. Martin's play reminds us of that simple fact. I know it's easy to get caught up in the day to day but Win and Tim have discovered something that would help us all--be in the moment because you never know how many of those you have! ”
  • St. Francis by Miranda Jonté
    18 Mar. 2021
    “ Beautiful and powerful! A play that has you laughing and then pulls out such a dramatic heart-stopping moment you are sitting in your own tears. Anyone who loves dogs will love this play. Anyone who is human with empathy and room to care for others will love this play. We are all along for Tessa's journey and what a journey it is!! And the ending that surprises and delights like no other and left me with such a happy feeling that I could smile all day!! ”
  • ALL THAT PEZ, a 5-minute LGBTQ+ comedy by Arianna Rose
    17 Mar. 2021
    “ Anything written about Pez is always a good thing and I'm all down with a Pez being powerful enough to bring two people together, because I believe in that sort of power and that sort of magic. Rose's short play is near perfect in its story and action and everyone would do themselves a tiny bit of good by reading it. ”
  • Stick and Move by Greg Lam
    12 Mar. 2021
    “ Saw this read as part of the Theatres Unmasked reading in March 2021! What a great play! ”
  • Ophelia by Meghan Brown
    12 Mar. 2021
    “ Saw this funny play as a table read on Back Port Theater and enjoyed it so much. ”
  • Blanche in a Wheelchair by Aaron Leventman
    10 Mar. 2021
    “ Beautiful play about love and friendship that can become that everlasting love. Leventman paints such a realistic couple who have been together for years and are keeping to that promise of sickness and health and even though marriage was once a heterosexual institution, now it's not and it just nice to know that a couple like Ted and Danny can be there for each other and get the same benefits for their years of service as any man and woman has done for the ages. ”
  • Kentucky Lemonade by Julie Zaffarano
    2 Mar. 2021
    “ A wonderful play about family and family secrets. Zaffarano gives us an ode to the bonds of family and even if we can't always pick our families, we can certainly come to appreciate them and lean on them in times of need. Kentucky Lemonade is a beautiful title and the play itself is a rich tapestry of well-written characters and situations that, although familiar, gives this play its strength and its family one that everyone should get to know. ”
