A wonderful read for a very contemporary problem. Playwright Dan Taube crafts a tense ten minutes with skill and theatricality. There's a terrific twist at the end. Would love to see this on a stage!

A one-minute gem with rich roles and a relatable premise. Playwright Dan Taube gives the actors and the audience so much to fill in, with so much empathy. I would love to see RECKONING performed.

What a fun ride! Kids, kids, tune in to your favorite tv show with some VERY interesting new hosts. Playwright Stephen Pryor has expertly crafted a fast-paced, funny satire, straddling both sides of the aisle. A no-holds-barred fractured fairy tale with a twist ending, WHEN HARRY HATED SALLY is a delight. Would love to see it performed.

I loved this play! The pacing, the characters, the twist ending, the snappy, rapid repartee. If Cary Grant and Katherine Hepburn had this play it would have been a hit movie for them! Playwright Julie Zaffarano has concocted a frothy delight in Destiny is a Careless Waiter - or is that Server? And why am I hungry for dessert right now? Would love to see a production of this very funny play.

I read each page of Sonata for Four Hands with increasing admiration and awe. Playwright Bridget Erin expertly weaves piano practice, parent-child relations, and the Israeli-Palestinian conflict into to a truly theatrical piece. While one character repeatedly warns us about the dangers of storytelling, we are shown the beauty of it. I would so love to see a production of this piece. So rich and complex- I know I’ll be thinking about this play for days.

What a gorgeous piece of writing. Playwright Andrew Rosendorf sensitively portrays a family coming to terms with their trans child and various other issues. You will fall in love with all these characters as they struggle with acceptance. Changing the character's name in the script as Everett assumes their true identity as Ariel was such a lovely touch. This is one of those plays I wish I had written! MERMAID should be produced in every theatre, everywhere.

Playwright Cora Frank had me at her note "Have Fun and Make It A Rainbow"! She proceeds to do just that with this no-holds-barred monologue I'm A Fan. Using zoom to full advantage, Ms. Frank cleverly makes us cheer on this protagonist as she stands up for her artistic choices in life. A fantastic monologue for high-schoolers and college-age. Evocative and colorful!

A sweet, funny and sensual two-hander about the selves we keep hidden and in the quest for a sexual connection. Playwright Julie Zaffarano has found a creative and inventive way to tie in a famous writer as Coke and Denny navigate their 'meet hot'. A wonderful challenge for actors and directors - would love to see this performed! The baseball glove was perfection.

Playwright Lisa Dellagiarino Feriend had me at "budget cuts" for the professional chorus. Add in mistaken identity, a banjo and a ukelele, and this is one charmer of a play! So much opportunity for comic moments and would be so much fun to act and direct. Read it and produce it!

A fabulous twist at the end makes you re-think the entire play, which is pure theatrical magic and playwrighting mastery. I was lucky enough to listen to a podcast of this play as part of Theatre Odyssey's 16th Annual 10-minute play festival. A treat for the eyes and ears. Playwright Preuss has productions all over the world of his short plays and it's easy to see why.
