  • it's not a trip it's a journey by Charly Evon Simpson
    20 Jul. 2020
    “ I saw a virtual reading of Simpson's play by Chautauqua Theater Company and even through a computer screen I was moved and emotional. Simpson's writing is poetic and honest. "it was june and I was june" Is a line that will stay with me for a long time. I often feel like plays that deal with trauma pull me apart, but this play seemed to hold me together. Program this play and commission Charly for work, she's exceptional. ”
  • Antagonism, or, Some People Like to P*ss in the Pool [a 1-minute play] by Steven G. Martin
    29 Oct. 2019
    “ Lovely use of props. Short and sweet. Leaves you thinking about a lot. Thank you Steven for sharing this glimpse into humanity. ”
  • A Good Kind of Dying by Maggie Goscinski
    29 Aug. 2019
    “ This is a lovely short play about two people that want to spend more together. Would be a great for a night of shorts. I could see college kids doing it as well. Leaves you feeling warm and pleasant inside. ”
  • Behind the Sheet by Charly Evon Simpson
    29 Aug. 2019
    “ Read this play! See this play! Tell your friends and your theaters about this play. It will stay with me for a long time. One of the best things I've seen, ever. ”
  • OCTOPUS KID: A BEACH MONOLOGUE by Asher Wyndham
    19 Mar. 2019
    “ Wyndham has some laugh-out-loud hilarious lines. I love the way he intertwines the seriousness of the public service announcement with the reality (and humor) of losing limbs and an urgent need for sun tan lotion. An actor would have a lot of fun taking this monologue on, and it's just in time for Earth Day! ”
  • HELPER by Rachael Carnes
    16 Mar. 2019
    “ What a touching slice of life. Depression, suicide and mental health challenges tend to impact the ones we love, but I'd never before considered how they could impact our furry friends. Carnes masterful control of language fully immersed me in her world. I was taken along for the ride and rewarded. What a lovely piece. ”
  • WORLD CLASSIC by Nelson Diaz-Marcano
    10 Dec. 2018
    “ I saw Nelson's play read at The Parsnip Ship in Brooklyn and I was floored. This play beautifully captures the pain and love of a family that is reeling from trauma. What do we forgive? What's the last straw? Each character was flawed and lovable all at the same time. I left in awe and hope to see more of Nelson's work! ”
  • COACH BECKY: A LITTLE LEAGUE T-BALL MONOLOGUE by Asher Wyndham
    26 Nov. 2018
    “ There is so much packed into this short monologue! This piece combines humor and reality in a hilarious and entangled way that would be ideal for an audition monologue and showing the breadth of what an actor can do. ”
  • Once Upon a Line by Sharai Bohannon
    13 Sep. 2018
    “ A fun look down memory lane! As someone that has unabashedly eaten up these books I absolutely understand these characters. Some of these one liners are zingers and made me laugh out loud. Bohannon also has a nice way of subtly introducing a twist. Looking forward to reading more of her work! ”
  • Really Adult by Rachel Bublitz
    12 Sep. 2018
    “ Bublitz creates a fascinating short play where we think we know everything, but instead get some fun surprises. Her characters are intriguing, her situation is one we can commiserate with and the ending leaves me eager for more. Would love to see it staged! ”
