  • MY GENERATION
    16 May. 2020
    Vivian Lermond had me at "pogo sticks". A wonderful monologue for those of a certain age, that brings back delicious memories of a childhood steeped in innocence and fun. Ms. Lermond writes with authenticity and skill in MY GENERATION. Excuse me now, I have to go make a cake in my EZ-bake oven!
  • Table for Two, a 10-minute play
    16 May. 2020
    What a smart play - poking fun at the haughtiness of maitre'Ds and couples policies. I loved the turn at the end, and the fact that it avoids stereotypes of the homeless. Beautiful writing by Ms. Middaugh, TABLE FOR TWO is sure to satisfy.

    Turning POV on its head - brilliant. Thank you, Jennifer O'Grady, for this Covid-themed play like no other. Read it and put it on Zoom immediately!
  • Theoni V. Aldredge, Costume Designer, Speaks
    16 May. 2020
    I so appreciate playwrights who honor those who came before. Theatre is an ephemeral art, so anything we can do to uphold and celebrate those who love her, cherish her, and create for her, is an A in my book. And Theoni V. Aldredge, Costume Designer, Speaks is an A+ in that book. I loved learning about her life, her father, her passions, and her outlook in a male-dominated field. A must-read and must-produce. Thank you, Ms. Aldredge, and thank you, Jennifer O'Grady, for this wonderful monologue!
  • SWAMP GIRL
    16 May. 2020
    One of the things I admire most about Marj O'Neill-Butler's writing is her focus on women characters and women's issues. SWAMP GIRL is no exception. Recently produced by Fantasy Theatre Factory's online Short & Sweet Festival, this play deserves everyone's time and attention.
  • LAST TWO FOR THE INTERVIEW
    16 May. 2020
    I had the pleasure of viewing LAST TWO FOR THE INTERVIEW in an online production. Ms. O'Neill-Butler is the master of the short-form play and this one is no exception. The playwright skillfully builds the premise to the immensely satisfying twist at the finale. A great showcase for two young women and another hit for Ms. O'Neill-Butler!
  • Prom Night
    16 May. 2020
    I had the pleasure of seeing PROM NIGHT in an online production. Bruce Karp's talent for innovative ideas and catchy titles continues with this paean to teenage love and angst. "Friendship is true love set on fire" and PROM NIGHT is pure delight. Read it, produce it!
  • Begging the Question
    16 May. 2020
    I had the great pleasure of seeing BEGGING THE QUESTION performed in an online production. It is pure perfection in a hot minute. I “propose” you read it and produce it! Kudos to playwright Philip Middleton Williams whose writing gifts span plays of every length.
  • THE KID
    15 May. 2020
    A beautiful play about humanity, connection, and kindness. O'Neill-Butler expertly crafts two characters we instantly care about and invest in. Read it, produce it!
  • The Down-Low Dating Show
    15 May. 2020
    It's all fun and games till....well, forever, in this clever satire of dating shows. In THE DOWN LOW DATING SHOW, playwright Steven G. Martin deftly skewers the genre, cheating men, and lying men, with wit and sparkle. Would love to see this performed. Read it, produce it!
