Inventive and full of wit. Ian Thal has written a play to be savored and produced. Best ending line of a play ever!

Ah, the Staten Island Ferry play. Those of us in the ten-minute play loop have probably written them; Karen Fix Curry had hers chosen and performed! And I can see why. Sparkling with wit, this insider's look at the world of theatre professionals is a crowd pleaser, from the first cry to the last interactive scene. Curry expertly takes us on an emotional and physical journey over ten minutes with two very likable characters. Would love to be in the audience for this to choose the ending! Call Back on the Staten Island Ferry will call you back many times!

As a Curry fan, and a cookie fan, I highly recommend Covid Cookies. A sweet piece about how extraordinary times call for extraordinary measure-ing cups. Karen Fix Curry gets to the heart of the matter and matters of the heart in this lovely short play. Read it, produce it, and save some cookies for me!

Rachael Carnes had me at "Dishtowel". The playwright beautifully and heartbreakingly describes isolation during the pandemic in the most relatable of ways. With her usual imagination that spans the multiverse, Ms. Carnes gives us two characters to share time - and thyme - with. Read it and get it online posthaste!

A wonderful zoom play about the ties that bind - and bound. Family squabbles are laid out in speaker view for all to ponder whilst a crossword puzzle provides clever metaphors to the situation at hand. Can't wait to see this new play produced in its natural zooming habitat. Bravo to playwright Robert Weibezahl.

Playwright Speckman’s creativity and originality is on full display in Love is Blind. Fully modern yet carrying on the grand tradition of Katherine Hepburn/Cary Grant madcap comedies. Proof that good things come in small packages- and closets.

This is one of the funniest 10-minute plays I have ever read. I wish I had written it. Full of surprises and twists and I laughed out loud several times. How does Ms. Speckman know my family??? A treat for actors, directors, and especially the audience.

I loved everything about this play, from the way it’s laid out on the page to the way it peels back the shiny veneer of the Barbie Dream House to reveal...plastic. Rooting for Skipper and her dreams of nature. Run, girl!

I love plays with a twist, and in one minute Robert Weibezahl unrolls a surprising conclusion. A tart commentary on our current Pandemic situation and how panic and fear cause us to lose our humanity.

Who knew that the contents of a Duane Reade bag could have me white-knuckling it through the entire play? Playwright Robert Weibezahl skillfully rachets up the tension in this taut two-hander. So well-constructed, with totally relatable characters. Not a wasted word or movement. As a native New Yorker who's ridden the Staten Island Ferry many times, I heartily commend this play. Read it and produce it!
