I love satire, I love metaphysics, I love funny, and playwright Joe Swenson knocked the ball out of the park (or the God off the throne) with all three! Alpha Omega Incorporated is clever, thought-provoking, and thoroughly entertaining. I hope to see this performed very soon, as it should be!

A genius last line of the play, which I won't give away, had me laughing out loud and nodding my head in commiseration. What a fun romp through writer Jack Levine's imagination as he tackles the subject of writer's block. A truly original take on a common mishap, playwright Levine creates juicy roles for actors and a gorgeous monologue at the end. Would love to see this one performed!

Oh, my word. Playwright Vince Gatton takes us to very unexpected places in this play. Twist upon twist with a horrifying reveal. This is such masterful writing. I'll be thinking about this piece for a long time. She's Blown Away is a fantastic opportunity for young actors and deeply relevant. So much wisdom and life lessons packed into a ten minute play. I'm in awe.

A stunner of a play. Tugs at your heartstrings, and for those of us who grew up with those "Beatles hard black circles" it's a lovely paean to our childhoods and the important role music plays in our lives. Playwright Jennifer O'Grady manages to pack a whole world into a very short play. We learn so much about Hailey and her life, through her unique lens and way of expressing herself. I'm really in awe of the craft shown here in this play. Read it and then go listen to some Elephant Gerald - it'll do you good.

This was such a fun read - and would be such a fun play to perform and direct! This sly satire will have you giggling from the get-go. Playwright Jack Levin is a master of comedy and MY PARADISE ISLAND is a must-see destination. Would love to see this performed!

What a fertile imagination playwright Christopher Plumridge has! The breadth and variety of his work leaves me breathless. His imagination knows no boundaries, and I am Esmerelda is a perfect example of that. What a fantastic monologue for an actor. I could feel the wind and power of Esmerelda through his words...and as a Floridian felt the sting of her actions! A beautiful jewel of a monologue.

I needed a laugh tonight, and Christopher Plumridge's COWS 'N' MOON fit the bill to a T! Clever wordplay, puns, and characterizations make this a delight to read. I could see it being performed in my mind's eye...it jumps off the page...or perhaps over the moon? A tour de force for actors and a delight for audiences!

This is such an original piece. A smart premise, some R-rated dialogue, and larger than life characters add up to a great theatrical outing. I loved the twist at the end and the skewering of both pop culture and the Republican party. Playwright Tori Rice shows she is a risk-taker and it pays off. This play definitely won't languish in obscurity. Let's rock and roll!

This was such a fun read! I love plays that surprise me, and playwright Philip Middleton Williams has done that repeatedly throughout Stop Laughing Without Me. I found myself rooting for first one character, then the other, with a terrific twist at the end. Having been both playwright and producer I can relate. Well crafted, and a delight. Would love to see this one live on stage!

What a brilliant play! I loved every minute of it. A treat for an actor to play the cat. Filled with deeper truths as well as moments of hilarity. As a long-time cat mama, playwright Maggie Gallant got it right. It’s wonderful to know it is based on a true story. A masterful piece of writing!
