  • Ross Tedford Kendall: Cat Sick

    I really liked this play. The humor is dark and funny, and the use of the dialect gives this piece a really unique feel. Would love to see it on this side of the Atlantic.

  • Ross Tedford Kendall: Emotional Baggage

    A very funny play that combines tedious bureaucracy, unchecked capitalism, and grief processing. The feeling that airlines have you right where they want you, when you're taking a trip that you don't even want to take, is on full display, along with a healthy dose of absurdism that doesn't seem THAT absurd. A nice little ten-minute piece.

  • Ross Tedford Kendall: Setting Places

    A very funny play that escalates on each page. I particularly like how the playwright merges both language and action to further the humor, all the while keeping the characters true and in front of the situation. I would love to watch this on stage someday, and hope it has a long life in the theatre.

  • Ross Tedford Kendall: The Bear - Crib of Doom

    I really liked this monologue. A great take on horror fiction with dark humor thrown in at just the right amount. Would love to see this staged, and can think of a variety of ways to do it.

  • Ross Tedford Kendall: For You

    A great two-hander that delves into what people want in a relationship, and how that often changes (and leads to conflict.) I particularly like how deftly the playwright develops both characters, very much in love, but also at odds. There is no easy way out, and the play barrels on into its logical conclusion.

  • Ross Tedford Kendall: The Parking Lot

    What I like about this play is the way it manages three different stories, each with their own arc and distinctive characters. The conflict is clear, and we switch constantly between them, keeping our interest and keeping things fresh.

  • Ross Tedford Kendall: FIRE

    A short but potent little speech, rife with metaphor and imagery. I could visualize the flames in my mind as I read it. The character has a clear voice and the emotion flows.

  • Ross Tedford Kendall: White People by the Lake

    When someone holds up a mirror, you may not like what you see, but you have to pay attention, especially when there is no denying the truth. Playwright Lynett has written a powerful, poignant piece, vividly theatrical, and wildly funny. The play takes particular aim at a genre I was aware of, the "lake" play, and points out the systemic issues within that I was unaware. I go to the theatre to learn and expand my understanding, and this is a play that achieves that.

  • Ross Tedford Kendall: You See Them in the Corners of Your Eyes

    Dark, spooky, and yet ultimately poignant, this play really seals in the emotions. The twist had me go back and reread it to find the clues. To say anything else about it would ruin it, but this is a fine little piece.

  • Ross Tedford Kendall: V-DAY (from the TAPAS COLLECTION)

    A sweet and charming little play that shows sometimes it takes a gesture to bring back the spark. I like that this play keeps hope alive, and gives a small but revealing insight into the characters.
