Shimmering like the moon on the water. A beautiful, poetic piece of writing. Luna goddesses unite.

Minky is my new spirit animal. and Rachael Carnes is my new playwright crush. Imaginative, theatrical, hysterical, all in ten minutes. This is great theatre, absurd yet totally believable in its own universe. "Can I visit the paste on weekends?" best line ever. Read it and produce it!!!

Laugh out loud funny, zany, insanely creative - I'm in awe of Rachael Carnes' mind. BOOTS does what the best plays do - gets the audience to suspend their disbelief, and go along on a very merry 10-minute ride. Carnes mines the travails of a sock monkey for all it's worth. Can't wait to see this performed! Read it, and when you're done laughing, produce it!

A great twist, great writing, and a great premise - and all in ten minutes! Mark Harvey Levine delivers the goods in SALT IN THE WOUND with his usual creativity and craft. Read it and produce it!

I had the great pleasure of seeing an online reading of INTERVIEW WITH A GORGON. Filled with metaphor, mirrors, and magic, playwright LAM expertly takes on an epic ten-minute journey with many twists and turns. I don't want to give too much away except to simply say, read it and produce it!

I had the pleasure of attending an on-line reading of this fascinating play. A beautiful balance of historical fact and lesbian drama, SITTING STILL by Danielle Wirsansky gives us a rare glimpse into WWII women medics. Written with compassion and insight into these women, with a twist I did not see coming! I look forward to seeing further development of this play.

Ava, Thomas and Robin instantly garner our empathy in TO THE ZOOM AND BACK. I'm still laughing over the line "Better six feet apart than six feet under"! Playwright Cindi Sansone-Braff writes relatable characters adapting to our new social distancing mores. 10 points for writing a play with senior citizens and 20 points for it being so great! Read it and zoom it!

With candor and expert craft, Elisabeth Giffin Speckman brings Mercy Otis Warren to life - on one of the two days she's allowed to visit earth a year - in this thought-provoking and thoroughly delightful monologue. Score one for women's rights and women who were ahead - way ahead - of their time. I a very short amount of time, Speckman creates a character with rich nuances, astute observations, and well-earned pride. Read it and produce it!

"Beautiful Crissy, with beautiful hair that grows". Look it up on youtube. I was obsessed with that doll as a child and had to have it. I never thought about the other point of view - the parents vying to buy it to make their child happy. I love everything about DOLLS - the witty dialogue, the sharply-drawn characters, and the lovely twist at the end. Robert Weibezahl has his pulse on the toy store - and we're all the richer for it.

It takes quite an accomplished playwright for me to feel empathy for someone who keeps guns in the house when there are children there - and Paul Donnelly is just such an accomplished playwright. Donnelly deftly handles the hot-button issues of vaccination and gun ownership, letting us see both sides and come to our own conclusions. Read it and produce it!
