  • Arianna Rose: AN ABUNDANCE OF CAUTION, A Play for Videoconference by Rachael Carnes
    “

    Rachael Carnes is my spirit animal. Her imagination amazes and delights, and her dramatic flair sets her clear above the pack. This short play is no exception and probably the only one I would ever read about our current circumstances. Bravo for another hit!

    “Fried bologna is better once you got a buzz on” but no buzz necessary to enjoy this short play. The playwright deftly writes characters who illuminate what true love really is. Would love to see this performed!

    The playwright had me at “word rhythms of hope”. A loving homage to the tenacity of the theatre .

    A lovely glimpse into friendship, letting go, and moving on. Relatable and endearing characters make this one a crowd pleaser from first line to last. Another hit for this playwright!

  • Arianna Rose: The Jackson, a 10-minute political play by Susan Middaugh
    “

    Although it pains me to put Trump and yoga in the same sentence, Susan Middaugh does a brilliant job combining physical comedy with satire. Funny, biting, and a searing condemnation of the resident in the White House. Read it, produce it, and be sure to wipe down your yoga mat afterwards!

  • Arianna Rose: The Grout Fairy by Connie Schindewolf
    “

    I had the good fortune to see THE GROUT FAIRY in a play festival in 2019. Connie Schindewolf's imagination is quite extraordinary and delightful. Relatable yet fanciful characters and a humorous premise make The Grout Fairy theatre magic!

  • Arianna Rose: TWISTED DICKENS (from the TAPAS COLLECTION) by Vivian Lermond
    “

    Pip Pip Hooray for this clever, alliterative satire on Great Expectations. In the grand tradition of Monty Python and a myriad of British comedies, Twisted Dickens will have you smiling from head to mature woman's foot. I'd love to see this performed. Sublimely silly and well-written, Vivian Lermond has 'exceed ed expectations'!

  • Arianna Rose: A Paper Forest - Part of the "The United Plays of America" Anthology (Minnesota) by Claudia Haas
    “

    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.

  • Arianna Rose: For Richard, for Poorer by Steven G. Martin
    “

    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.

  • Arianna Rose: Chair by Louis DeVaughn Nelson
    “

    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.
