  • Prom Night
    16 May. 2020
    Ah, to have so much control and fun when my boys were teenagers. Prom Night explores teenage angst, friendship, budding love and separation, all under the "eye" of one of the parents. A fun script which would be good for High School and College actors.
  • Asking For It
    15 May. 2020
    Turning the tables on what women wear is a clever short play. The victim becomes the culprit. It is ironic and fun.
  • Crazy Quilts
    15 May. 2020
    This is an eight minute short that turns from light and friendly, to as dark as it can get. The Quilting Circle has figured out how to help women who need it...after a few questions asked. I'll remind my sons not to go to these islands.
  • The Change
    15 May. 2020
    Oh, the thoughts that we married people carry around in our heads...perhaps not as bad as the ones expressed in this clever, witty piece, but hateful nonetheless. Laughter, gasps and sadness all in 8 minutes.
  • WHAT KIND OF A GOD 1-minute play
    15 May. 2020
    Oh, what heartbreak...a love life lived and ended in 1 minute. Beautifully painful.
  • Yucca Corridor
    8 May. 2020
    This play is filled with memorable characters who live outside the norm. Gentrification, gay relationships, performance artists and disjointed families are only a part of this interesting drama.
  • Survival Strategy
    8 May. 2020
    Two office mates feel sort of alienated from their wives on Valentine's Day which leads to the need for closeness. It's not what you think but some manly hugs are just the cure. Perfect play for Valentine's Day.
  • Kentucky Lemonade
    8 May. 2020
    I love the ladies of Kentucky Lemonade...I feel I know them, with their bickering, and teasing and loving each other. And even after a funeral and a revelation that changes one of their lives, they return to being a family in the best way.
  • Do You Get It
    7 May. 2020
    This monologue brought back so many memories of the Vietnam war. The kids being absent from school because their brother died or their father died.
    Praying for their son who is in the Army, Deb and her husband are doing whatever they can to keep death away from their door. This is a deep, very sad monologue that speaks clearly about armed services.
  • Memorial Day (Full Length)
    19 Apr. 2020
    I remember those days with such sadness. This play brings back all the horror of first, the unknown, and then the knowing, the helplessness, the loss of so many talented men. And the love, don't forget about the love.
