  • too close to the sun by Kullen Burnet

    “ We included this play in our high school senior-directed one-act festival and it was a great piece to challenge and stretch our actors and director. The students especially responded to the mythological references and enjoyed diving deep into the text and finding the humanity present, despite the non-traditional structure. ”
  • Dead Men Tell No Tales by Christina Foltz
    21 Jun. 2023
    “ We included this play in our high school senior-directed one-act festival and it proved to be a great challenge and meaty piece for our students to work on. As the students got to work on it, they were excited to find deeper and deeper layers and things to explore which proved for not only an educational experience, but a great artistic experience for both them and the audience. ”
  • Misfortune (a ten minute play) by Mark Harvey Levine
    21 Jun. 2023
    “ We ended our high school senior-directed one-act festival with this play and it was a terrific way to leave the audience laughing and smiling. The way that the humor builds and quick pace of the piece made for a thoroughly enjoyable play for the students to work on and for the audience to enjoy. ”
  • The Audition by L . Jan Eira
    21 Jun. 2023
    “ We opened our high school senior-directed one-act festival with this play and it started things off amazingly! A very fun and funny piece that the students strongly responded to. Goofy and silly and great roles for the student auditioners in the play. ”
  • The Tenth Voyage of Capitano Giangurgolo Coccodrillo Fanfarone Matamoros Spavento by Ian Thal
    25 Mar. 2023
    “ Nothing beats a good story and this play has DOZENS of them! While there may not be 1,001 of them, Thal's play will leave you spellbound and feeling like a little kid during story time as you spend time with the larger-than-life Capitano and those he encounters (or says he encounters). ”
  • The End of Summer by Hank Kimmel
    17 Feb. 2023
    “ A lovely and poetic exploration of the bond between a father and daughter. Kimmel creates an incredibly distinct place and time and breaks your heart in just ten minutes. ”
  • WINNERS NEVER QUIT by Hank Kimmel
    17 Feb. 2023
    “ What a charming play! Avoids all of the cliches of the father/son baseball trope and finds new ways to explore their bond and leaves you smiling and rooting for the "home team"! ”
  • Family Visitation (Ten Minute) by Paul Donnelly
    13 Jun. 2022
    “ A devastating and impactful short piece that serves as an important reminder of LGTBQ history and both how far we've come and sadly how far we have to go. A powerful addition to our student-directed one act festival. ”
  • 3 Characters Figure It Out by Matthew McLachlan
    13 Jun. 2022
    “ Such a fun piece! Perfectly structured as a ten-minute play and captures both the joy and struggles of playwriting. A highlight of our student-directed ten minute play festival. ”
  • Dear Stephen by Andy Rassler
    13 Jun. 2022
    “ Great roles for actresses of all different ages and a story that surprises and delights. A perfect addition to our student-directed one act festival. ”
