  • A Paper Forest by Claudia Haas
    14 Apr. 2020
    “ A most unusual play with the most beautiful message about hope, regeneration, and love. I was so moved by reading this. I love short plays that are ABOUT something, and this play has all that and more. So much beautifully layered subtext, drama, and poetic imagery. Read it, love it, produce it. And spend some time in nature. ”
  • For Richard, for Poorer by Steven G. Martin
    8 Apr. 2020
    “ What a genius mind Steven G. Martin has. A gorgeous piece of writing that has cake! Louise Hay affirmations! Two enormously appealing characters well served by the playwright’s imagination and compassion. ”
  • Chair by Louis DeVaughn Nelson
    8 Apr. 2020
    “ I’m obsessed with the chairs. You know they all have a story- but none so complex as Sharon and Carlos, their backstory and possible future story. The complications of polyamory ring true in this tale of furniture and fornication. ”
  • Divine Intervention by Kate Danley
    7 Apr. 2020
    “ Wow. Kate Danley doesn’t pull any punches in this commentary on the societal pressures on women to be wives and breeders. So well written, with true comedic flair and razor-sharp observations. I would love to see this on stage! Read it, produce it! ”
  • END OF PLAY. by Philip Middleton Williams
    7 Apr. 2020
    “ Another great 'gotcha' from Philip Middleton Williams. I love a good twist at the end and the playwright delivers! A wry look at the dreaded 'feedback' all playwrights have experienced. Read it, produce it! ”
  • 'Til Dough Do Us Part by Philip Middleton Williams
    7 Apr. 2020
    “ Williams is a master of the 'gotcha'. In this beautifully rendered short play, we feel all the things - including great empathy and understanding. He writes with such unflinching honesty and skill, reading his plays are a pleasure, and 'Til Dough Do Us Part is no exception. It's a pandemic play, but much more than that. The characters longings and dashed hopes will keep you thinking long after the coffee's brewed. ”
  • Chewie, Get Us Out of Here by Philip Middleton Williams
    7 Apr. 2020
    “ Sublimely silly. We all need to laugh right now, and Philip Middleton Williams manages to hit the funny in every line. Chock full of movie references, for the sci-fi geek in all of us. So much fun! Read it, produce it! ”
  • Viral Love by Philip Middleton Williams
    7 Apr. 2020
    “ Wry and timely, this one-minute play about dating during a pandemic hits all the right notes. Philip Middleton Williams has his pulse on societal mores in the new frontier and expertly dramatizes a very human ritual. Sure to be a hit on the one-minute play circuit! ”
  • Evil Anonymous by Lee R. Lawing
    5 Apr. 2020
    “ I love love love plays that take familiar characters and cast them in a new light; and 2 points for referencing a great Motown song! Enjoy this clever and pointed satire on the Snow White Fable. I know I did! Mirror, mirror... ”
  • Fable by Doug DeVita
    4 Apr. 2020
    “ FABLE is astounding in its artistry. I kept reading it, exclaiming "You can DO THAT in a play??!!" I was so sad to have it end. A longtime GYPSY fan, starting with when I played Dainty June myself in our high school production in NJ, I loved this tale of how the musical came about from June's perspective, and the price we pay with our private lives when we are public figures. Complicated mother-daughters dynamics and incisive portraits of Jerome Robbins and Arthur Laurents make for a compelling, totally human story that is riveting from first page to last. ”
