  • Samantha Marchant: Birthday Beer

    Floyd-Priskorn created some endearing characters you can't help but root for! I like that there is a choice behind the door that they can or cannot make. The birthday beer and other details are great personalization.

  • Samantha Marchant: Behind the Bars

    What a great monologue between two perfectly unfeeling lines! Norr touches upon separation and longing with nicely placed surprises, barreling us towards the end.

  • Samantha Marchant: Circumnavigation (monologue)

    This goldfish made me think about life, change and satisfaction. I hope Flash gets some friends to hangout with, be they human or fish.

    Very funny! Living in upstate NY, this exchange could completely happen at a bus stop near me.

  • Samantha Marchant: A 3-act, centuries-long love affair (abridged)

    Love it! Mabey takes us on a full journey of love and vampires in just one page. I'm sure it'd be a riot to see on stage. I enjoyed all the references to necks/scarves/tapestries. Well done!

  • Samantha Marchant: Blue

    These parents tackle a big concern early in their child's life but they and Crose are able to clearly state their beliefs in a short amount of time. Well done.

  • Samantha Marchant: Bunnies, Storks, and the Hawk that Brings the Babies [monologue]

    Aberman does a great job examining babies and families in a child's voice.

  • Samantha Marchant: The Ithaca Ladies Read Medea - ONE ACT VERSION

    "It’s good to have a little genuine drama in the evening. Euripides, one feels, sometimes
    tries too hard." Jolly juxtaposes Medea with the House UnAmerican Activities Hearings - making one doozy of a night at bookclub. I like the way these women's lines are formed. Some favorites are: "This is
    not a veneer we paste over the darkness, it is the bedrock, the very foundation of
    civilization." and "like a horse in harness. In his rightful place." Nothing ever will be the same after these Ithaca Ladies read Medea.
