Some traditions sneak up on you. They become common in our life through a casual recognition of their significance. And oftentimes we only sense there power when we don’t do them. Scott Sickles gives us a quiet moment of reflection that emphasizes the importance of personal traditions.

Hilarious! It’s easy to forget that the apocalypse won’t just end the meaningless machinations of a defunct society. There needs to be more stories told in the in-between time of outbreak and dystopian wastelands. Great short play !

Harmony. Discord. All elements of balance. What should be and what is often ring uncomfortable in the ear. Deb Cole has given us a panic attack in the form of a failing instrument in a frightening symphony.

I feel like Scott Sickles has reached into my brain and typed out a whole play around the very tight monologue he has presented here. A marvel of intrigue that invites the reader to speculate in a million directions at once. What an enticing premise for imaginations to go wild with.

Tink has a mean streak and she definitely tried to ax Wendy the first time she showed up in Neverland. This is the logical progression of Tinkerbell’s obsessive behavior. Dana Hall gives us a tough, hardened Tinkerbell that no one should mess with.

Fantastic choice of song! The narrative deserves staging. Triumphant single mother putting conservative looky-loos in their place! MM satisfying to watch those PTA members get what’s coming to them.

Who do we live for? Wouldn’t it be amazing if we lived for ourselves? Not the ourself that others see and want and need. But truly ourself. Miranda’s monologue scrapes along the tenuous adhesive of expectations and obligations. Maybe just enough to free us.

Some sports have starter pistols. Jason should be relieved Emma doesn’t have one. This is a play of dire frustrations coming to a head. A brilliant sorry play about lopsided relationships and last straws.

Reminds me of the tight banter you’d see in an old newspaper movie. Adam Richter has embraced the challenge with an eye on the anxiety of deadlines and editors chomping to roll the presses.

#funny! This is a well developed one minute piece! We learn everything we need to know about the characters, their predicament, and their sense of self preservation.
