Interesting four character play with an enigmatic ending. Four disparate characters, hungry and snowed in,
face a tense morning. And there is a gun.

This play had me weep unexpectedly. Conyer Lee makes you see all sides of the arguments and stories about being black in this country. A family drama about the things we hide from the people we love and those who love us. A journey of love and hate. Believable dialogue and breath taking confessions. I love this play.

I could hear Wendy Wasserstein herself in this incredible monologue about her journey as a playwright in the 70's and beyond. Her characters and stories are so important and ring true to this day. A great monologue for 50+ women.

Sharon may be crazy trying to marry two strangers, but you root for Abby and Gary to at least give a relationship a try. A last minute kiss might do it. A really fun short play about the possibility of destiny.

My adrenalin was pumping reading this funny, compact short play that takes place on a roller coaster. Each page brings new information and Scott has you rooting for both central characters as the play unfolds. Funny and romantic at the same time.

Karlie's Jitters is funny, sad, wise and thoughtful. I say, don't invite the mother to the wedding. Why take chances?

This is a concise 10 minute play about a father and son and their history. It is moving and joyful, as the father and son share memories. The love between them is palpable. This piece might be classified as a gay play, but it is so much more. It deals with affection and understanding that we would wish for every family.

This family drama gives us a history lesson while we get to live with four generations of a family fighting for their right to exist. The characters are well drawn and believable, as each expresses their opinions, desires and fears. Black lives do matter and this piece needs to be produced.

Time shifts and texting between two young people make this play interesting to read and imagine staged. What makes a woman hang on to a relationship when her partner is clearly with someone else? What makes a man involve himself in an affair when his current relationship is going nowhere? Colleges might consider producing this piece as it speaks to a younger generation.

History repeats itself unfortunately. This play uses two completely different time periods to expose the treatment that women have had and still have in the workplace. The characters are richly drawn and clearly indicate that we still have a long way to go before sexes are equal in every respect. The juxtaposition of the two women's lives is cleverly drawn and interesting.
