  • Hold My Wings by Christine Foster
    11 Sep. 2020
    “ Another brilliant piece of writing from Christine Foster. I laughed for five minutes over the Mamma Mia line. Superb twist at the end that I didn't see coming. A wonderful play for actors. As a student of metaphysics and reincarnation, I particularly enjoyed the subject matter and the clever way it was used. Bravo! ”
  • Partita - A Monologue by Robert Weibezahl
    10 Sep. 2020
    “ A gorgeous monologue about music, musicians, loss, guilt, and the healing power of music. As a musician I heartily approve of this monologue - as a playwright I marvel at the sheer craft of it. Robert Weibezahl created an entire world of the orchestra in this one short monologue. I'd love to see it performed. Bravo! ”
  • Crazy Quilts by Karen Fix Curry
    9 Sep. 2020
    “ WOW. I didn't see that coming. What a well-crafted ensemble piece. You think it's about one thing and it turns about to be about something big - the best kind of writing. Kudos to Karen Fix Curry for writing this marvellous short play. It gets performed everywhere and I can see why. Karen, I'll be looking askance at those quilts you show off on Facebook from now on! :-) ”
  • Matinee by Robert Weibezahl
    25 Aug. 2020
    “ A very funny play about the generation gap and the things we bury in a bucket of popcorn rather than talk about. I can’t wait to see this one performed. ”
  • COASTER by Scott Mullen
    22 Aug. 2020
    “ I wish I had come up with this idea - the highest praise I can give! What a fabulous 'ride'. Playwright Mullen expertisely combines comedy with pathos, terror with tenderness, to get at the truth of a relationship. I can see why it gets so many productions! A tour de force for actors and directors and so perfectly and simply staged. Coaster will get you going...and going...and going... ”
  • DRESS BLUES by Donald Loftus
    15 Aug. 2020
    “ I love plays that seem to be about one thing, but are really about something else. DRESS BLUES - clever word play in the title, by the way - does just that, brilliantly. A ten-minute comedy with a deeper message about self-acceptance and self-worth. Donald Loftus has once again gifted us with a comedy that's about something, with some killer lines and great characterizations. Read it and produce it! ”
  • THE INVENTION OF PICKLE BALL by Rachael Carnes
    15 Aug. 2020
    “ Hysterically funny and oh so truthful. Fantastic roles for older actors, and did I say funny? Funny as hell. Can I please be Rachael Carnes when I grow up? Read it, produce it! ”
  • Never Closer Than Three Feet by Lee R. Lawing
    15 Aug. 2020
    “ I'm a sucker for old Hollywood stories, and NEVER CLOSER THAN THREE FEET does not disappoint. Playwright Lee R. Lawing creates a clever, original and believable premise during a photo shoot for Norma Shearer, who married studio head Irving Thalberg. A wonderful play that examines WORLDS in just ten minutes. Power dynamics, Hollywood rivalries, and the price women paid to rise to the top are presented in a fresh and highly theatrical way. Read it and produce it! ”
  • Textbook Messages by Ross Tedford Kendall
    13 Aug. 2020
    “ A very funny and all-too-real premise about the demands life places upon us and how we deal with them. As a college professor, I thoroughly enjoyed the interchange about "not" using college resources. Dramatist Ross Tedford Kendall skillfully ramps up the predicaments facing Vanessa as she juggles unreasonable texts. Great climax and last line. Would love to see this performed - a perfect play for the Zoom age. ”
  • Persephone by Jennifer O'Grady
    10 Aug. 2020
    “ An absolute stunner of a play about love, loss, and the everlife. What Jennifer O'Grady accomplishes in ten minutes is remarkable. I didn't want the play to end. PERSEPHONE has had several productions and been published and I can see why! While Persephone may never have wanted to be named after a goddess, her actions are nothing short of god-like, no small feat for a professed atheist. Read it, weep, laugh, you'll be a changed human being and the better for having read this jewel of a play. ”
