Playwright Karen Fix Curry gives the reader a gift with this beautiful, succinct play about intolerance. She has crafted two relatable characters in Lilith and Miriam - I'd love to share that bottle of wine with them! A taut, delightful short play with a twist, about what makes a good neighbor and a good human. Read and produce!

Oh...these Lost Children Stories by Hannah Lee DeFrates...are such a balm in this weary world. So much is conveyed through a minimum of dialogue but a maximum of emotion. This beautiful gem of a play answers the question "What's in a name?" with eloquence, poetry, and a wistfulness and depth that feeds my soul. Thank you for writing these characters. I'm team Daff and Chrys all the way.

A play about mentors and second chances, and the people who show up in our lives as angels. As a college professor myself, I resonated to so much of this teacher/student exchange; but it’s relatable to everyone who has ever been a student or an instructor. Playwright Marj O’Neill-Butler has crafted a beautiful piece about carpe diem. Seize it yourself and read/produce!

A fun romp (or roll, if you will) down the hill with Jack and Jill and a hapless 911 dispatcher. Great, silly fun that poses a zen koan for all lyricists! Playwright Morey Norkin takes us on a wild tumble with familiar characters with a new spin. Would love to see this produced!

Playwright Cherielyn Ferguson had me the moment Mozart pulled out the whoopie cushion. In this thoroughly delightful parody, Ferguson deftly skewers merchandising of icons and gives us the gift of inspired interplay between six very different larger-than-life personalities. Plus there's a Jane Austen rap, and and a prop list to boot! What's not to like? Excuse me while I go design my own sock. Read and produce this gem!

"He smelled like the 70's". Just one of the iconic lines in Another True Ghost Story. Playwright Soucy writes with great authority, style and gives a great twist at the end. I'd love an entire Netflix short series of these plays! As someone who has long had an interest in and experience with metaphysics, I highly recommend these ghost stories. A pleasure from the first word to the last.

What a gripping story! I was fascinated from the first moment. There's something almost film-like about the structure of the piece - the narration mixed with present-time action - that makes it intimate and endears Dorothy to us right away as well as our narrator. This is writing at the highest level of craft, and such a spooky tale!

A delightful play about how the different generations deal with dating, love, and life. Playwright Marj O'Neill-Butler expertly crafts two immensely likable characters in Gram and Cassie. You'll be rooting for them both long after the last page. With her usual light, deft touch, O'Neill-Butler creates another short play sure to be a crowd-pleaser and a winner on the ten-minute play circuit. Read and produce!

I feel this monologue in my bones. In my DNA. Playwright Robert Weibezahl has expertly crafted a character who is living through our turbulent times where the emphasis is on cash and not compassion; on waste instead of wisdom; and on screams of the media rather than the whispers of our heart. His analogy of the tree and the ashes, and the references to pandemics past and present, broke my heart. Read this beauitful piece of work and please produce it - before it's too late.

A satirical look at the Book of Face, and the many arguments that ensue from posts on one's page. Playwright Daniel Guyton crafts a pithy 1 page play that will have you looking at your own social media with new eyes. Great last line!
