    It's hard to write anything about this play without spoiling it, but I can say that everything is pitch perfect. Definitely check this one out!

  • Ross Tedford Kendall: Memory by Rachel Feeny-Williams

    Playwright Feeny-Williams constructs a suspenseful, taut little thriller/procedural with this piece. A nice little genre play for a themed festival, or any festival where you want to shake things up or end on a bang.

  • Ross Tedford Kendall: FINDING NEIL PATRICK HARRIS by Donna Hoke

    Comedy is alive and well when you read this play. The playwright takes an odd premise and runs with it, and by the middle you're actually hoping the characters achieve what they're trying to do. That in itself made me laugh, but I was also very amused by the characters themselves, the dialog, and the rapid complications that ensued. Fantastic, funny play!

  • Ross Tedford Kendall: When Life Gives You Lemons (10 Minute Play) by Pamela Morgan
    “

    A play that touches on some tough subjects, and draws on the conflict that results. You really feel for both the son and the mother as they both process the recent events in their own way. The frustration and love comes across simultaneously. A real feat of playwriting.

    This play takes a short moment in two people's lives and changes everything. You follow along, trying to unravel the mystery as they unravel the past, and the conclusion leaves you stunned. A fine play!

    A great piece that explores the nature of feminism and what it means to individual women. Funny and poignant, which is a tough match to pull off, this play sails along. A nice play to include in a ten minute play festival.

    A great piece about family and the efforts to keep it together. You feel for both characters, and alternately share the daughter's frustration and the mother's hope that it all works out. A great piece that will keep you remembering it for a long time after.

    A fantastic two hander that puts modern social mores with age old relationship woes. The playwright puts the two in a plausible situation, then brings about the inevitable conflict. A great piece for any festival.

  • Ross Tedford Kendall: Cassie Strickland Is Not Under the Bed by Vince Gatton

    Genre plays are tricky to pull off in the theatre, but this play soars. Grounding real world tragedy with the childhood horrors of things under the bed, this play balances both with an intensity that will keep you on the edge of your seat.

  • Ross Tedford Kendall: The Last Spin Cycle by Hannah Lee DeFrates

    The historical horror of the plague doctors juxtaposed with a laundry room provides a wickedly surreal setting for this dark but humorous play. I was especially struck with the interaction between the two characters. A fun little play for a shorts festival.
