    This play is bone-chilling. What you think is a simple Halloween play takes a dark turn when Anne Frank shows up at the door. The play continues to subvert our expectations when we are asked the questions, "Why don't we protect our children?" and "Would you save someone?"

    This play is so bizarre and so well done. I love the risks Jess takes as a playwright. This play is also hilarious! Read it!

    A poignant play that tackles discrimination and loneliness set in a nail salon. Great setting. Powerful ending. Two unique characters.

    Want a play that will make your audiences ROLL in their seats PEEING with laughter, you've found it! Westby takes corporate America bullshit and turns it into a hilarious absurdist play. Excellent for festivals!

    This play had me rolling with laughter when I heard it read aloud! Another smart, witty play by Westby. I love how it challenges masculinity in such an earnest way.

  • Cassie M. Seinuk: Looking for Bruce; a ten-minute play by Jami Brandli

    Funny, whitty, and smart 10 minute play about a cat and his woman. Structure is perfect and the end left me feeling touched. As a cat owner myself, I totally connected to the cat being jealous of a human, and really related to Gerry's conflicting wants. Brava Jami!

    This play takes absurdism to another level, and I love it. It's so unbelievably weird and mischievous and the end really got me, "this thing of yours," how it's known around or at least by MTJ. Love it.

    This is a masterclass in the 1-minute play form. I can only imagine seeing it onstage and the visceral reaction the audience would have to the rawness and truth of this piece.

    A bittersweet play, that in less than 5 minutes creates a whole year's worth of anxiety for this beautifully crafted couple. I feel like I know them. Also I love the details of the leaves and the muffins. Great physical and theatrical elements in such a tender play.

    Excellent 5 minute play! This works on so many levels, but especially now in the AI boom it feels even more relevant. Also, I love how God is presented as good and flawed, just like Adam learns later when he is in the position of creator. Bravo! I'd love to see this.
