  • Let Lying Dogs Sleep by John Busser
    25 Feb. 2024
    “ I love how the tone of this play goes from comic to cringey to comic seamlessly. What a great piece for two actors who would have a ball with the slow-building tension, followed by the rapid-fire volley of truth missiles fired from both sides. "Let Lying Dogs Sleep" is a terrific two-hander that audiences will love. Bravo! ”
  • I'd Do Anything For Love… But I Won't Do That: A TRIO of 1-Minute Plays by Debra A. Cole
    21 Feb. 2024
    “ This trio of one-minute plays runs the gamut from the familiar to the ridiculous to the sublime (if you read them in order.) They each tell a beautiful story of relationships at various stages, and would work well as a set or as individual plays in a longer evening. A lovely response to an interesting play prompt. ”
  • The Geometry of You (a monologue) by Scott Sickles
    21 Feb. 2024
    “ I don't think I've ever read a monologue quite like this one. That seems like it could be an evergreen statement of all of Scott Sickles' works, but this is an exquisite piece with a remarkable twist in the end. A terrific solo work that would hook audiences. ”
  • This Cow and That Trombone by Steven G. Martin
    21 Feb. 2024
    “ A charming, life-affirming and powerful statement on the role of art in our lives. I was enthralled by Steve's compelling and empathetic portrayals of these three magnificent creatures, especially Suzie, who knows there's more to life than grass. Bravo, playwright! ”
  • The Rules by Debra A. Cole
    21 Feb. 2024
    “ Oh. My. God. This play is a hilarious satire of dating and relationships, and I don't want to give anything away, but ...

    Read the disclaimer. It makes the whole thing that much more delicious.

    "The Rules" is a masterful interpretation of a ridiculous prompt and I want to see it on stage immediately. Fantastic! ”
  • Threesome – A One Minute Play by Debra A. Cole
    19 Feb. 2024
    “ Like the teenage years that this play evokes, "Threesome" is both cringey and hilarious, in all the best ways. Such a great response to the prompt about body parts. Bravo! ”
  • A Story of a Laundry Girl by Rachel Feeny-Williams
    16 Feb. 2024
    “ I am a sucker for all things Irish history, so this powerful piece was right up my alley. Rachel Feeny-Williams delivers a hell of a punch in this trio of monologues that tells with vivid characters and imagery the shameful tale of the Catholic laundries. I recommend this for any theater and would love to see it on stage. ”
  • Mere Waters by Jillian Blevins
    13 Feb. 2024
    “ What strikes me the most about "Mere Waters" is that it is both intimate and grand. Jillian Blevins masterfully tells the personal story of a doctor in Auschwitz; in the telling she gives us a broader picture of the horrors of the Holocaust. What sets this play apart is not only the subject matter — the story of a gynecologist in the camp — but the way Blevins tells it, with equal parts heart and horror. And some hope, in the form of Abigail and Hannah.
    This powerful play should be seen by audiences everywhere. ”
  • RESPECT THE NOSE -a monologue by Monica Cross
    10 Feb. 2024
    “ Horror movies have stolen the clown, but Cozymittens is stealing it back in this delightful and insightful monologue. I think seeing it on stage would not only be entertaining but also therapeutic to those who labor under the misconception that clowns are supposed to be scary. Well done! ”
  • Watercolors by Philip Middleton Williams
    10 Feb. 2024
    “ One of the many things I love about Philip Middleton Williams' works is the way he seamlessly incorporates big, profound ideas into intimate stories of the lives of his characters. In "Watercolors," Nick struggles to both move on from Eric's death while also honoring his legacy. Along the way, we get to see how that core question changes his relationships with the other characters, and even with his dead partner.
    This is a beautiful piece that will have audiences thinking about it long after the lights go down. ”
