  • #yesmeansyes by Carol Lashof

    “ We need more plays about consent and I appreciate that this one is impossible to misinterpret or not understand. Would love to see this go up at as many universities as possible and/or be used as acting exercises. Looking forward to reading more of Carol's work. ”
  • Miss Katelyn's Grade Threes Prepare for the Inevitable by Elena Belyea
    11 Dec. 2017
    “ This is by far the most powerful piece in awhile. Bravo to Elena for tackling a giant wrong in our society and churning out a script that captures all of the anxiety, sadness, and fear we experience whenever a mass shooting happens. It's a collage of emotions and should definitely be produced, published, etc. for everyone to have access to and discuss. ”
  • 1 Bed 1 Bath by Laura Pittenger
    11 Dec. 2017
    “ Super intense and intriguing piece. I love the dynamic, the imagery, and dialogue found in this dramatic situation. Also full of beautiful moments that would make it stand out in an anthology or festival. ”
  • The Care & Feeding of Wild Birds by Lojo Simon
    8 Dec. 2017
    “ Very touching short play about death and making peace with the inevitable. I also LOVE that we have an older woman as the main focal point because that's so rare these days. I'd love to see it in a festival soon. ”
  • MOSTLY CLOUDY by Greg Burdick
    8 Dec. 2017
    “ It's a very delightful, simple, and honest way to spend 10 minutes. I'm a huge fan of tackling the digital age, and relationships during the digital age, as well as having a soft spot for whimsical situations and characters, so I really enjoyed this adorable piece. ”
  • Canvas by Andrew Heinrich
    8 Dec. 2017
    “ I love how the play forces us to look at class (the different kind of homeless people speech specifically comes to mind) and our given assumptions about others. I also like that that it lends itself to discussions on symbolism, patriotism, and humanity as a whole while only running 10 minutes. It's a lot to unpack and I'd like to see it performed. ”
  • Mirrors by Gina Femia
    6 Dec. 2017
    “ Very heavy, and timely, two-hander. It's quick but palpable. Should definitely be produced in colleges, festivals, and anywhere else looking for play to start some very serious dialogue about rape culture. I admire Gina's ability to give us so much with so few words. ”
  • SANDY: A SUPERCENTER EMPLOYEE MONOLOGUE by Asher Wyndham
    6 Dec. 2017
    “ I could see this being a lot of fun for an actress to sink her teeth into. It's at times funny, sad, and relatable. It also captures the people I knew during my time in the Midwest. I look forward to reading other monologues by Asher. ”
  • To: Charlie by Caitlin Turnage
    6 Dec. 2017
    “ Extremely moving piece about grief. Caitlin has a way of writing delicate characters, in very intimate moments, that makes the reader feel as if they're in the room and experiencing the same grief and confusion. You can't help but to empathise with these characters and feel helpless that you can't lessen their sorrow (especially because they're fictional characters). I would love to see it in a festival or a night of short plays dealing with any of the main themes. ”
  • Self Promoted by Jessica Austgen
    5 Dec. 2017
    “ Jessica perfectly captured the workplace dynamics (and woes) most of us feel every time we arrive at the office. These characters are our co-workers, work friends, or office acquaintances, that we all seem to spend the the bulk of our time with once we enter into the workforce. Jessica has managed to take that mundane environment and examine it in an honest light before spinning it in something slightly hopeful. Very well done! ”
