  • Romance in History by Christopher Soucy
    23 Jan. 2023
    “ A beautiful monologue about family origins, the lies we tell and the truth we obscure, all powered by the interior monologue we have with ourselves when searching for a mate. Playwright Christopher Soucy writes with great authenticity and detail, in a moving moment of the narrator's life. ”
  • Recipe (a Zoom play) by Robert Weibezahl
    18 Jan. 2023
    “ A fabulous zoom play from a fabulous writer. Relatable characters and situations - who hasn't dealt with these family dynamics? - but also about something much bigger. It's always a delight to read a Robert Weibezahl play and RECIPE will have you resolve to be a little nicer next time you gather with your relations. ”
  • Fridge by Jennifer O'Grady
    18 Jan. 2023
    “ So creative, imaginative, and FUN. Playwright Jennifer O'Grady's mind must be an AMAZING place to visit. I loved this story of Girl hates fridge, girl loves fridge and the metaphors and symbolism that abound. The repairmen are a Greek (yogurt) Chorus of epic proportions. Read, produce, and think twice the next time you open your fridge to ponder its contents! ”
  • Sugar by Jennifer O'Grady
    18 Jan. 2023
    “ What a smart, important, gripping play. Playwright Jennifer O'Grady knocks it out of the park with Sugar, concocting a roller coaster ride with the highest urgency. Truly brilliant writing. It's getting lots of productions and awards and deservedly so! I would so love to see a production of this. Thought-provoking and so well-crafted. ”
  • Closing Doors by John Minigan
    18 Jan. 2023
    “ It's no wonder Closing Doors has had so many productions and awards. It's one of the best short plays I ever read. Taut, timely, crackling dialogue, a sadly relatable situation, this is the best type of theatre. Audiences will be arguing over what the last line meant, and what they'd do in the situation. As a teacher I'm so grateful playwright John Minigan has committed to paper what we deal with every day in a chaotic and careless world. ”
  • Counter Programming (MONOLOGUE) by Paul Donnelly
    16 Jan. 2023
    “ Oh, Sandy. I feel your pain and want to buy you a drink at the bar. A hysterical send up of both Equus and A Christmas Carol, two plays you rarely get to say in the same breath. Playwright Paul Donnelly expertly gives us a world-weary character who has a way with sarcasm. The specificity of the dialogue will have you howling. Bravo! ”
  • Fairies by Emma Goldman-Sherman
    16 Jan. 2023
    “ Emma Goldman-Sherman is such a gifted playwright, she can have twins, miracles, fairies, and Ostara the neopagan Nordic fertility goddess all comfortably co-exist in a short play and have it make perfect sense. What a theatrical, inventive ferry ride. The Staten Island Ferry certainly was never that magical for me! Tilda, Godfrey and Curl talk deep the way only strangers can. I would love to see this performed! ”
  • Our House to Yours by Debra A. Cole
    16 Jan. 2023
    “ What a twist. I didn't see that one coming. In Our House to Yours, Dan edits Stella's annual Christmas letter, peeling away the brags to reveal the stresses and joys of being human. Playwright Debra A. Cole has crafted a short play with great relatability and pathos. ”
  • Not a Hallmark Christmas by Debra A. Cole
    16 Jan. 2023
    “ A delightful spoof of the tv-movie genre we all love to disdain. Playwright Debra A. Cole expertly skewers every romcom meet cute trope in this funny play. As a native New Yorker I enjoyed it on a whole other level! I would love to see this one produced, at any time of the year. ”
  • Ghost Light by Cassidy Byron
    16 Jan. 2023
    “ I just want to put my arms around Keagan and reassure him. What a beautiful monologue about loneliness, light, and connection. This is so inherently theatrical - what a joy for an actor and lighting designer to play with. Playwright Cassidy Byron writes with great empathy and understanding of the human condition. It will make you do a double take the next time you're on a stage. ”
