  • Cassie M. Seinuk: Quack by Patrick Gabridge
    “

    Still one of my favorite ten minute plays! I love to teach it and introduce it to my students as a non-naturalistic 10mp that follows the rules of a 10mp beautifully while also subverting all the rules. Quack is sweet, sad, funny, and smart.

    Saw this as a life Radio play at the Boston Theater Marathon and enjoyed the nerdy sciencey retelling of a classic story. I always appreciate the unexpected from Gabridge.

  • Cassie M. Seinuk: Things You Should Know When Setting up an Ofrenda by Andrew Siañez-De La O

    Great ten minute play! I had a chance to see and stage manage at the Boston Theater Marathon and I am still thinking about this one. I love how this play delves into a cultural form of grieving and celebrating the life of one we lost, and it also uses this form to break from typical 10mp naturalism and lean into magical realism.

  • Cassie M. Seinuk: The Kids From the Lake by Deirdre Girard

    A powerful and moving ten minute play. I had the chance to see this at the Boston Theater Marathon. Deirdre has a great way of layering these characters and revealing truths unknown. This is a great play for any festival.

    I got to see and stage managed this at the Boston Theater Marathon and I’m still thinking about how funny and clever this play is. Also this is the right way to do a monologue/solo performance 10 minute play. This legitimately is a 10 minute and not only a long monologue. A great opportunity for a comic actress!

  • Cassie M. Seinuk: Allie by Grant MacDermott

    What a powerful play! Having stage managed and watched it in the BTM it was one of the stand outs. Allie deals with grief and AI. The idea of getting closure after death, a mother searching for an opportunity to apologize to the daughter she blames herself for the death of. Powerful. And a great opportunity for clever staging!

  • Cassie M. Seinuk: THE LESSON [A 1-MINUTE PLAY] by Steven G. Martin
    “

    A heartbreaking moment when manhood is brought into question. There is a poignant sadness watching Connor hold Dylan to the standards of "boys don't cry." It makes me think of the lessons, right or wrong, that kids learn and teach each other, and how toxic masculinity is a systemic problem. Now, if you can do that in one minute, imagine 90!

  • Cassie M. Seinuk: PASSWORD: 2020 ESCAPE ROOM [A 1-MINUTE PLAY] by Steven G. Martin

    A great brief moment in one of the most difficult years for many encapsulated in an escape room. What I love so much about this play is the whimsy that they could forever be trapped in 2020.

  • Cassie M. Seinuk: AN ABUNDANCE OF CAUTION, A Play for Videoconference by Rachael Carnes
    “

    This play is delightful and yet gets at the core of what it is like to communicate with the outside world today while quarantined. As an extrovert who thrives off of contact with others this play resonates with me. I found myself smiling and then being hit with the sadness of the lack of connection between Finn and Charlie, no matter how hard they try, they are apart.

    Well, this monologue hits you in the face with its truth. What I love so much about this piece is that I could be different interpretations based on the person who is saying it. This means it can translate to so many different identities and races. This is a smart audition piece.
