What’s not to love about this adorable parody? Taking on the tropes of our favorite video game characters as they try to win love. This is the perfect intersection of theater geek and video game geek.

What a thrill ride! What a sweet depiction of the pearly gates and the expectation defying encounters Marston finds there! Such a fun show.

The magic of theater is on full display in this sweet, relatable monologue. Sometimes we forget how magical the theater is, so it is nice to have pieces like this to remind us. Is the perfect monologue for the unconventional actor looking to express the passion and the transformational power of theater arts.

Now that’s how it’s done! I won’t say how what is done, because spoilers. But this is perfectly entrancing. If ever you need to know how to lead an audience directly where you want them for a stellar last line, study this play.

Terrific! Horror belongs on stage and Ross Tedford Kendall has delivered an absolute winner. Perfectly set up and chilling through and through, this play belongs in every theater’s spooky catalogue. I would expect it to become an annual event across the country, a haunted house live onstage.

Beings mother can be a thankless task. Exhausted and overlooked, it is no wonder that the protagonist of this play is in such desperate need of escape. A tragedy wrapped in a familial blanket.

A truly fun and funny short play. Harkening back to a time when people went to stores to buy physical copies of games. Many a midnight Walmart run is captured in this piece! This would be such a good play for youth theaters. It would also make a very funny short film!

It’s a dog’s life. Encapsulated in charming vignettes. How much fun this would be to see onstage. Miranda has captured the innocence and spirit of our favorite four legged friends. I could read countless adventures of this dynamic duo!

Asher Wyndham has set his sights on the most toxic of toxicities, the free range male action star with zero filter. While I recognized countless celebrities in this comic gem, a couple really rose to the top of my mind. I’m massively enjoying the monologue collecting Mr. Wyndham has posted here!

How wonderful. I could see this animated, with puppets, or just a cast of human folk. There address plenty of warm and fuzzies going on here. A lovely testimony of the owner/pet relationship.
