  • THIRD WINDOW FROM THE RIGHT by Scott Mullen

    “ This is a delicious play about the possibility of a new romance. Its simplicity is delightful, as two people start to get to know each other while sitting on a park bench. Kate sits there every weekday eating her lunch. Henry watches her every day from his rent controlled apartment. Finally, after winning a playwriting contest, and making a promise to himself, he has the courage to come down and sit on the bench. This short play touches your heart. ”
  • A RESERVATION by John Kelly

  • The Other Side by Siegmund Fuchs
    10 Dec. 2020
    “ The Other Side is a remarkable short play. It deals with the Holocaust, but in such an unusual way. Set in the waiting room of a gas chamber, it deals with strength, pride, and family. It's a quiet piece given what's about to happen, but that makes it even more moving. Read this short play. It's a beautiful piece of theatre. ”
