What's not to like about this play! It's very biting and also laugh out loud funny and just so much fun to read, but like any good piece of writing it dives deeper into the well of need and Antone gives us a fresh look at all the wrongs that have occurred over centuries and summed it up with such clever and stinging commentary. I'd pay to see this play done and look forward to other plays by Antone!

When I read this beautiful play by Burbano, I felt that it was one of those perfect plays that I wish I had written and that everyone should read and see. Tackling a serious issue like homeliness, but making it so accessible for everyone through fantasy is such a great device, but it's the depth of the language and characters that makes this device work on multiple levels and give it that punch that it gives so well. Perfect Number is near perfection!

The haves and have nots,power and corruption come together in this fast-paced political thriller by Dabalsa. Congress is a natural cess pool for corruption and weaknesses that cause undoing, but there’s a twist with what this senator secretly desires and the tables are turned with the so-called soulless having a desire to make things better for the world. At least that’s one interpretation to be had out of many.

Wow! There is a story deep down in all of us, but what Coleman does is tear back all the junk history that we are fed and put the real stories front and center. All those regular people who just try to exist and find their place in their day to day lives. To voice their own stories. Their pain and struggles which were not properly shared. And most times still not. Our history books need a complete overhaul. I am in a better place today after reading Uncle Remus. Thank you Aaron Coleman for providing such a masterful lesson.

There is no one who writes like Carnes with such humor and heart, and this is one of those plays everyone should read and remember because it is true gift to the stage. I am sorry I am missing the reading that’s happening this weekend, but family histories and family pains are so well documented in this heartbreaking play which strips away the veneer off mental illness and how much it permeates our current culture. See this play. Remember this play. Remember Carnes. She is on a bright path lighting the way for us all.

Clare is a delight to read and would be so good to see staged. Going into the play I did not know who Clare Hollingsworth was, but Diamond provides us with not only a quick moving play but one that is quick witted as well. I love the three generations of women that this play is about and as with any good bit of history, it makes me want to dive deeper into the subject matter now that I’ve finished. Well done.

What a beautifully written testament to not only love but one's own internalized conceptions of what this play is going to be and what it turns out to be. Truly a surprise and excellently executed. Bravo!

I think it's human nature to want to feel appreciated. Also, it should be the human thing we all do in showing that appreciation when and where it's needed. Martin gives us a valentine full of admiration in this short play for the sometimes overlooked component of theater, but probably the one most in need of those feelings of love. This would be such a great play to see included in any ten minute festival.

Chilling to the bone! Rose infuses a simple pick-up scene with the weight of the world attached and it's eye-opening to think which one would you be? Looking forward to reading others by this playwright.

Frightening on so many levels about a boy's awakening sexual nature and urges which gives the reader and audiences goose flesh from the start. Weaver spins a magical spell over us with this gem of a short play and adds another winner to his literary arsenal.
