A gorgeous piece of writing by Matthew Weaver. I was so struck by this penultimate line: "My name is Matthew Weaver, and my words can set the world on fire." The deep-in-the-heart calling of every playwright. Thank you for naming it, and for writing such an honest, beautiful, sweet monologue. There are way more than 19 excellent reasons to read this monologue!

I adore the madcap lunacy of ALL THE DETAILS by Cary Pepper. a true tale of Much Ado About Nothing, a biting satire on todays' glut of so-called news; it's been chosen for many festivals and I can see why! Funny, smart, and a crowd-pleaser! Lots of hats, indeed.

Such an inventive premise! I thoroughly enjoyed Natalie Sacks' take in this modern retelling of Romeo and Juliet. Humorous, smart, and very produce-able. Would love to see this performed!

I learn something new about theatre writing every time I read a play by Steven G. Martin, and AN APPRECIATION is no exception. Smart, funny, breathtaking in its simplicity and honesty - I would LOVE to see this performed. A great homage to live theatre and the 'art of making art'. Bravo!

What an interesting, complex, and beautiful play! In the span of ten minutes, Playwright Middaugh takes us on a journey through corruption, bribery, and ultimately, humanity. Having been raised Jewish, I loved the surprise at the end. I love plays that keep us thinking long after they are over, and this one fits the bill perfectly. Kudos to Susan Middaugh for a play filled with surprises, taut language, and timely situations.

A lovely depiction of the hand-to-heart connection. Written with compassion and skill by Ms. Cross.

Great roles for women, goddess lore- Monica Cross writes with clearness and truth. Would love to see this performed!

Monica Cross finds humanity in everything , and aliens are no exception. Brief and lovely.

Feminine Care broke my heart wide open. What a beautiful play about masculinity and the father -daughter relationship. So smartly written. Can’t wait to see a performance of this!

“This is a new way for minutes to move” may be the best phrase I’ve ever read to describe shelter-in-place. A gorgeous monologue from a brilliant writer. Can’t wait to see this one performed.
