  • CENSUS by Susan Miller
    15 Jul. 2021
    “ Census is such a smart play. We think we know where it is going and then it is switched up. I could picture the people Gloria speaks about, because they need to be counted. Need to be known. Beautiful piece. ”
  • Blink of an Eye by Debbie Lamedman
    4 Jul. 2021
    “ In a heartbeat...that's all it takes to ruin lives. Told in monologue form, we hear from witnesses, participants and family about one foolish mistake. And the consequences. Beautifully structured right to the end. ”
  • Matinee by Robert Weibezahl
    28 Jun. 2021
    “ It's a wonder that more daughters don't throttle their mothers! Mama's got marriage and other things on her mind and the daughter really wants to sleep in. But no, off to the early movie they go. The dialogue is fun and so true to life that the piece finishes before you are ready to say goodbye to these characters. I'm dying to meet the father! What a fun two hander. ”
  • A Benevolent Alliance of Mourners by Ken Preuss
    24 Jun. 2021
    “ An unintended meet up at a funeral turns out to be just what Ellie and Alex need. It's funny. It's painful. But there's hope on the horizon. ”
  • Lack of Moisture by Debbie Lamedman
    22 Jun. 2021
    “ Oh this short piece packs a wallop. A weekend away is planned. Lamedman has you thinking that Henry is a slug, but with a few clues, you discover he's a broken man. Alice, all chirpy and full of energy, tries to cover. This piece about marriage is so very realistic. A perfect two hander.

  • Ny Qymguri: A Sinister Virtual Story by Timothy-Talia M. Gadomski
    13 Jun. 2021
    “ I thought, it's only a monologue, how scary can it be? It's scary, and it creeps up on you gradually just as it does in the monologue. Turn off your computer! ”
  • Into the Dark by Debbie Lamedman
    11 Jun. 2021
    “ My adrenalin started to pump from the very beginning of this short play. A stranger turns into someone familiar but not, as the woman tries to walk her dog and get safely home. Many twists and turns. Every woman's nightmare. ”
  • Eating in the Dark by Debbie Lamedman
    11 Jun. 2021
    “ This piece is dark and funny. Most everyone I know could relate to this piece. Debbie is ingenious in creating a character who we all know and hate, and still carry around with us. ”
  • No Regrets by John Minigan
    4 Jun. 2021
    “ This is such a fun take on wedding jitters, and horror of horrors, calling off a wedding. Clever script with great characters, one of whom we never see! ”
  • We Were Such Idiots by Ben Rosenblatt
    2 Jun. 2021
    “ Remembering the past can be painful or funny. This short play has got both.
    Crazy situations that only two really good friends could share. And the ending is poignant too. Did I say it was funny? ”
