I was fortunate enough to see a reading of Eddie & Edna at Scriptwriters & Co. monthly Scratch Night. What a beautiful piece of theatre, masterfully created by playwright Donald Loftus. More twists than a Twizzlers, it holds your attention and your empathy from first moment to last. To say more would be to give it away, other than it shines with compassion, humanity, humor and pathos. Kudos to Mr. Loftus and thank you for the gift of this play.

If you don't fall in love with the title alone, I can't help you. This darkly comic play is a gem. I wanted it to keep going! A great take-off on both zoom and the horror film genre. And now I want to go check out Tina's powerpoint list. Playwright Hayley St. James expertly sends up several genres and stereotypes, with witty dialogue and a twist ending. Would love to see this performed on Zoom!

I love smart, funny plays, and Playwright Hayley St. James has written a doozy with Glass of Water. They expertly set up a did they/didn't they scenario with some laugh out loud lines. There's so much more to this play than meets the eyes and that's the artistry of it! Drink up.....

This wonderful, tightly-constructed play brought to mind the very best of the film noir genre. At every moment while reading it I expected to look up and be in a 1940's film set with Barbara Stanwyck and David Nivens. Well-written, suspenseful, with more twists and turns than the roller coaster at Coney Island. Playwright Bivens displays a flair and writing skill that is to 'kill' for. Great fun for actors and audience alike. Read it and produce it!

"We are all storytellers"...and Sabrina Rose Bivens is a startlingly original and talented one! This monologue goes nowhere where you think it will, which makes it so exciting and fresh and immersive. Don't bug out - but read it, perform it and produce it. Playwright Bivens has something important to say - take notice!

This is one of the funniest plays I've ever read. It makes me angry that I didn't think of it first! Playwright John Busser is a master of comedic timing and double entendre (read the title again after you've read the play) and skillfully builds a comic premise to a crescendo! Would LOVE to see Opening Night Performed.

Who knew Covid could be funny? Well, playwright John Busser knew, and wrote an absolutely delightful dark screwball comedy for hit men that incorporates fear of catching Covid, Zoom, and some hoagies! Would love to see this performed. Read it, produce it!

Reading a John Mabey play is to be exquisitely reminded of the most shining beautiful parts of humanity hidden beneath our fears and excuses. Reading a John Mabey play is such a pleasure, doctors should prescribe it. Reading a John Mabey play leads other playwrights to grimace "Why didn't I think of that?" C is For Cupid - but it's also for classic, craft, and clear-eyed. Take this journey with Regina and Sal and then join the John Mabey fan club like I have.

A fun, feminist spoof of the tv series "Murder She Wrote". Playwright Bruce Karp obviously has great affection for Jessica "Kvetcher" and the predicament of fewer roles for older women. This would be so enjoyable to see performed!

I come from a long line of Brooklyn Jews, and playwright Jewel Beth Davis compassionately and affectionately skewers the stereotypes in this funny-with-a-deeper-meaning comedy. Great roles for actors with imaginative light and sound cues. I hope there's a sequel - would love to see what happens to Sadie and Irving next! Read it and enjoy!
