It's funny how "things" are important to people no matter what age. This is a lovely two hander about wants and needs and how the smallest thing can matter. What starts out as acrimonious resolves into a beautiful memory. I'm sure Biscuit is very happy.

This very short monologue has a large impact. As the reader I could feel the impact of all the things this character has gone through. And you hope against hope that something good will happen and he will change his mind. Sad, sad, sad, and yet very important to write about it.

An unexpected conversation between two strangers on a bus opens up worlds for each of them. A delightful podcast on Theatrical Shenanigans, UK brought the play vividly to life. You'll think about these two characters long afterwards.

There is probably nothing sadder than watching a person disappear mentally. Floyd-Priskorn shows us the difficult descent taken by Miriam and how it affects both her daughter and her car giver. The use of the key and the mirror takes us to another realm.

What a fun "meet cute" two hander. This piece is perfect for any festival about love or relationships. Life is what happens when you open yourself up to new adventures and a selfie with a stranger.

Two strangers meet in a laundromat. Sounds like a fun start, especially when what is in one of the laundry baskets starts to make an appearance. This comedy is a hoot starting with the fact that one of the women is "a lady of the night". But there is more to the piece than the comedy, as the two women learn important life lessons from each other.

This interesting romantic comedy/tragedy has you rooting for all four characters as the play unfolds and that is a wondrous thing to be able to do when writing. I had the pleasure of watching a filmed reading of this play from Philip's time in Alaska at the Last Frontier Theatre Conference. Gay themed but universal in its ideas.

I saw a production of this fun and funny 10 minute play at the Actors Theatre Playhouse in NH this weekend. This short play takes a pot shot at any and all silly Christmas movies. What a hoot.

I saw a production of this play at the Actors Theatre Playhouse in NH this weekend. Olivia, pretty much a slob, is scared for a visit from her mother. Noah on his first time in a home to deliver his Jehovah's Witness spiel is pretty much the same. This unlikely pair are able to let go of their respective fears and communicate with each other.

I had the pleasure of seeing a production of this 10 minute play at the Actors Theatre Playhouse in NH this weekend. At first you think it is about two good old boys and then it turns 180 degrees and we learn about a stranger who appears and followed by the revelation of what Bill has gone through. He is able to unburden his past while helping the strange woman find her feet.
