  • PINATA by Scott Mullen
    3 Dec. 2018
    “ Scott Mullen's PINATA might be one of the funniest plays I've read in a long time. A combination of mining comedy out of a real life situation, word play, and physical comedy, the play crackles with fun and energy. Each of these characters bring their own sense of joy, pathos, wants and desires to the page. Each is a realistic character but dipping their toe in the absurd. A wonderful play. ”
  • Marcie and Patty Are Getting Married by Hilary Bluestein-Lyons
    3 Dec. 2018
    “ MARCIE AND PATTY ARE GETTING MARRIED is a sweet, short play. A wonderfully comedy set 30 minutes before the titular wedding where things (literally) start unraveling. I smiled and laughed from beginning to end. Mazel Tov and Cheers Marcie and Patty and to writer Hilary Bluestein-Lyons. ”
  • LITTLE WOMEN...NOW (90-minute cut available under "script sample"!) by Donna Hoke
    3 Dec. 2018
    “ Days after performing a traditional adaptation of Louise May Alcott's classic, I stumbled upon Donna Hoke's wonderful modern day re-imagining. Hoke manages to keep all the timeless troupes we love about Little Women while making it timeless. Meg is still Meg, Jo is still Jo, Beth is still Beth and Amy is still Amy, but there are modern twists (some expected, some not) and changes that are absolutely delightful. ”
  • Ms. Claus by Patrick Gabridge
    1 Dec. 2018
    “ Santa by Selection Committee is such a wonderful concept that I'm surprised we haven't seen it before. I've seen Santa picked by putting on his hat, I've seen Kris become Santa by being rescued by elves, I've even seen a baby grow up to be Santa, but I've never seen the Santa application and interview process. Add in a plucky, funny, immensely qualified woman named Tina in the process and you have what is sure to be a Holiday classic. Welcome aboard Ms. Claus ”
  • EVERYBODY HATES MARIAH CAREY by Rachael Carnes
    23 Nov. 2018
    “ The holidays can be tragic. While everyone else is revealing, there are always those who just can't seem to get into the holiday spirit. Rachael Carnes dips into this area of tragedy in her delightfully funny play. Imagine the infamous Aristocrats joke, but at Christmas, with one layer of tragedy compounding upon another upon another upon another. A delightfully dark read ”
  • ROOM 27 by Greg Burdick
    23 Nov. 2018
    “ They are the infamous, the almost mythological, the 27 Club-the musicians who died at the age of 27. At least 7 of them. All waiting for the last member of a once in a life time supergroup to show up. Each member facing an existential crisis while ruminating on the helplessness of it all. Sophisticated and, at times, uproariously funny, Burdick has created a unique world that I like getting a peek into, but glad I'm not living in. Remember, in Rock and Roll Heaven, you know they got a helluva band. ”
  • Noir Hamlet by John Minigan
    21 Oct. 2018
    “ "There's always a bloody ghost" Christopher Moore.

    Many people take Shakespeare's words and transplant them to a different location. Others take their inspiration from Shakespeare and create something new and unique. John Minigan does a little bit of both in this amazing-well lets call it an adaptation-of Hamlet. The noir typical troupes; the tall buildings, the LA skyline, the immoral characters, murder, lust, jealousy, rage, sex fit into Hamlet's world with brilliant clarity. Combined with Minigan's delightfully writing and the plays on Shakespeare's own words, made this a delight to read.

  • ACCOMMODATION by Greg Burdick
    21 Oct. 2018
    “ Michael is a student in need of extra help-one of many students. Celeste Dawkins is a teacher at the end of her rope, drowning trying to keep up. Worlds collide, and no one is left for the better, but maybe they come to a better understanding? This was not an easy play to read, but it is a very good play to read. Burdick's dialog crackles and the creative and imaginative shifts all make for a play that explores why teachers and students are often at odds. Read this play. ”
  • Celtic Knot by Karen Fix Curry
    18 Oct. 2018
    “ A beautiful long one act play that reminds us of the tenderness of love and the frailty of life. Curry has taken elements of the Biblical parable of the Prodigal Son and mixed it with elements of romance, motherly love, fatherly love, the struggles of living in a misogynistic culture, and the clash between tradition and change. Simply beautiful. ”
  • NOLAN (SOME BOY WITH A NECK BRACE): A MONOLOGUE by Asher Wyndham
    17 Oct. 2018
    “ A new Asher Wyndham monologue is something to look forward to and he doesn't disappoint with NOLAN. At a time when we are exploring issues with bullying, when some say that the "nerds and geeks have won", the issue of fathers and sons and what interests them and where they differ is an important one. And the issue of violence and injuries to young football players is also an important one. There is so much to unpack in this short monologue. ”
