  • No Right Time, a virtual play in 10 minutes

    Beautiful, moving, and eloquently written and real. A truly powerful piece about frontline workers and their loved ones in the time of COVID. A great vehicle for performers and an extraordinary piece for audiences. A must see or read.
  • TAKE AWAY (from the TAPAS COLLECTION)

    A sweet piece that shows all the ways we can connect with our loved ones and how that can change over time. As with all of Vivian's work, the piece moves at the perfect pace, the characters are real, and the language is always a feast.

    This play is everything perfect and wonderful about the 10-minute play format and theatre in general. In case it's not obvious, I love it.
  • Forgive Thyself

    Busser has long been a master at comedy, but in this piece we watch him expand the genre as he mixes humor, with grace, with thoughtful contemplation, and heart. This original and innovative play invites us to consider belief and faith from a completely new point of view – what more can we ask of theatre? Full of surprise, humor, and meaning, this play would be a great addition to any evening of 10-minute plays and tons of fun for the actors privileged to act in it and audiences who see it.
  • The Apothecary

    The APOTHECARY by Daniel Prillaman is a deceptively chilling piece that takes us to another time and place. The beauty of this play resides in its subtle surprise and focused storytelling. Just when you think you have this figured out, these characters surprise us with the truth that lives in their own, individual hearts. Simple yet elegant. With such nuance Prillaman portrays the foibles of man. There’s a lot for actors to sink their teeth into here. Bravo.

    Heartbreaking. Beautiful. Honest.
  • Alabaster
    9 Apr. 2020
    I love when I come across true theatre magic. And when it comes wrapped in a surprise, inside a tale of true emotion, connection, and meaning…all the better. Alabaster is an emotionally beautiful play that transports us to a world like no other. Audrey Cefaly’s writing draws you in while simultaneously celebrating life and discovery as only theatre can. Her dialogue jumps off the page and her characters grab you by the heart and soul. Incredible work and I hope to see this play soon. I’m grateful to Audrey Cefaly for writing this transcendent piece.
  • LEFTY'S LAST HOOK

    This monologue stood out among many others when I heard it during an evening of great monologues. At the time, I remembered falling in love with the music of the language paired with the truth of character. And now, reading it brings all that back to me. Vivian is a true wordsmith and wizard at creating dialogue that dances to life. This monologue is great fun for performer and audience like. But what’s most impressive is how she balances the reality of her character with the poetry of the stage. I love this piece and audiences will, too.

    So great! I love what happens here...from the intrigue, to the fact that I feel like I know these characters, to the emotional payoff--all in just one minute! Love this piece!
  • The Mortal Drama
    27 Mar. 2020
    Gacinski creates a real and lyrical world in this compelling and fast-moving love triangle between two lovers and the heroin addiction that controls them. This addiction story is especially enjoyable and unique because of the role that art plays in it. Gacinski’s strong character work has us rooting for these characters to break free from heroin’s grip, but one of the play’s great strengths is his honest portrayal of what they’re up against and the human toll. His poetic ending beautifully amplifies the theme. A great play for two young actors! Would love to see this!
