    Ah, sister love or sister jealousy, even beyond the grave. This is a funny, charming short play about the length's people will go to to keep things from their siblings.
  • Buried
    31 Aug. 2020
    This is a moving play about dying and undying love; the things we can't say when we're in pain for someone else. Even with all of that, there is humor and filial closeness. A beautiful piece of writing about teenaged twins.

  • END OF PLAY.
    25 Aug. 2020
    This short play is especially fun for playwrights who have had to sit through the reaction of respondents after hearing their plays. Sharp edged, tart and very funny.
    The ending has a great twist. Bravo!

  • Closing Doors
    20 Aug. 2020
    This is such an important short play. It is distressing in its subject matter. You understand Sandra’s choice In letting her student in the door of her classroom. You also get the stand that the principal takes in keeping all students safe. It’s a no win situation and so sad that it has come to this. This play should be produced throughout the country.
