  • PARTNER OF — by Rachael Carnes
    17 Oct. 2018
    “ With Partner Of-, Rachael Carnes writes a powerful portrait of a moment in time. Three generations-some seen and unseen-gather in a small room to prepare the youngest for a life changing moment. A glimpse into the past with a message toward the future. This is a must read, a must see, right now play. ”
  • THE PLATYPODES by Asher Wyndham
    15 Oct. 2018
    “ Asher Wyndham has crafted something special with The Platypodes. A heart wrenching story about hurt people who hurt each other even while they love each other. A story about desperate people who all think they are doing the "right" thing. There are no right answers, there are no wrong answers, there are only questions that stick with you. Asher has gone for the throat and the heart. And while abortion is at the heart of this play, it is about more than just abortion, it is about humans and the reasons behind the choices we make. ”
  • The Home for Retired Canadian Girlfriends by John Bavoso
    14 Oct. 2018
    “ What happens to a tulpa after it's been willed into existence but no longer has a purpose? What happens with that tulpa when it's the fictional and stock "girlfriend from Canada"? This very funny ten minute play asks that story and at the same time makes a very good point . A great read and I'm guessing would be a fun piece to both perform and see performed. ”
  • One Seriously Ugly Duckling by Emily Hageman
    14 Oct. 2018
    “ Emily Hageman takes the popular Heathers/Mean Girls troupe and transplants it into Hans Christian Andersen's The Ugly Duckling in a delightful and important short play. Whereas Andersen's story places emphasis on becoming beautiful in the end, Hageman's story is about believing in yourself. And by having Duckbecca be interested in science and learning, she makes an important note about the importance of education. The play is also seriously FUNNY, bringing a smile to my face several times. ”
  • Peas in the Fried Rice by Larry Rinkel
    10 Oct. 2018
    “ This was a very funny play with quick, rapid fire banter that brought a smile to the face of this former line cook and picky eater. ”
  • Bug Juice and Stoli by Michael Weems
    8 Oct. 2018
    “ Can a piece be considered a "coming of age" story when you are dealing with adults? Adults of all ages? I wouldn't have thought so until I read Bug Juice and Stoli. This delightful play reminded me of summers I spent at summer camp in the early and mid 90s, of the friends I made and how far we drifted apart and how we all grew up in different ways and in different directions. As the 6 women in this play all come to different realizations in their life over a chaotic weekend themselves discover. Highly recommended. ”
  • Adoption of Grief by Jessie Salsbury
    4 Oct. 2018
    “ This was not an easy play for me to read. I was adopted, and am from a "trans-racial" family (a family that is made up of people from different races) and living in Kansas, this hit close to home. And it would be unfair for me to look at my family's experiences and compare to the story told here. But I will say that I think this is an IMPORTANT play that examines issues through a lens that isn't always considered. Salsbury has written a hyper realistic play that addresses a myriad of issues. Highly recommended. ”
  • Alien Lovers and Friends by Lee R. Lawing
    2 Oct. 2018
    “ With dialog that crackles and a fantastic set-up, contrasted with the loneliness of the setting and the starkness of the stage, this is a wonderfully weird delightful one-act play that examines the duality of humanity; our eagerness to please each other and be accepted and our pettiness and our quickness to anger. There is a great twist at the end, but the cynical human side of me wonders if we will heed the message (but I hope we do) ”
  • MISFIT, AMERICA by Nelson Diaz-Marcano
    2 Oct. 2018
    “ Neo-Western is a great description of this brilliant play. Like the great westerns, a collection of "misfits" have formed their own community. At the center is the triumvirate of Lucky, the solider with a heart of gold who is looking for redemption, Roberta, his significant other who is equal parts mystic, mother, and protector, and Dick, the orphan looking for answers. Opposing them is Chip and his band of neo-nazis, who threaten the uneasy peace between communities. Heartbreaking and inspiring at the same time, this magical-realism play about identity, community, and loss must be produced. ”
  • The Ten Minute Play (with a Nice Picture of Jimmy Carter) by Greg Hatfield
    2 Oct. 2018
    “ I think every writer, but especially those of ten minute plays, can relate to this ten minute play about ten minute plays and writing in general. From explaining what a ten minute play is, to thinking that what we've crafted is the best ten minute play ever. sing a picture of Jimmy Carter seems to be about the most ten minute play thing ever. Did I mention this is a ten minute play about ten minute plays? Because it is and I think it might be slightly brilliant. ”
