  • QUICKSAND, a one person play by Sam Heyman
    9 Jul. 2023
    “ A compelling and profound meditation on what it means to be stuck — in quicksand, in life — and how to get out of it. Sam Heyman's sharp wit and brilliant imagination make this a pleasure to read. I would love to see it on stage. ”
  • A Day in the Life of a Former Zombie by DC Cathro
    26 Jun. 2023
    “ One of DC Cathro's many talents is his ability to keep you thinking about his plays long after the final blackout. "A Day in the Life of a Former Zombie" poses a difficult moral question with no easy answers: Should a worker get fired for things he depicted in a movie years ago?
    Before you answer, read the play. Better yet, produce the play, so audiences can experience this compelling, tense drama and ponder its conclusion for themselves. ”
  • The Happy Incident on Aisle 5 of the Delicioso Food Market & Deli at 11:47 P.M., or, In Passing [a 1-minute play] by Steven G. Martin
    23 Jun. 2023
    “ A moment in a late-night deli that is so joyous to imagine, it's sad to think the whole play only lasts one minute. But that one minute is filled with sublime joy. Bravo, Steve! ”
  • Outlaw Dad - A Monologue by Debra A. Cole
    23 Jun. 2023
    “ Debra Cole's "Outlaw Dad" is a role model for every parent of a kid who is trans, queer or struggling to assert their identity. I cheer for the Dad with every line and every tattoo he explains in this vivid, powerful piece. Bravo! ”
  • The 42nd Reality by Christopher Soucy
    23 Jun. 2023
    “ A play that effectively uses a narrator is a rare and glorious treat, and Christopher Soucy's 10-minute apocalyptic gem fits the bill. A comedy that asks and answers weighty questions with plenty of wit and an ending that had me chortling, "The 42nd Reality" would be a treat for any short-play festival. The homage to a certain science fiction writer is a nice touch, too.
    Bravo! ”
  • FLOATING BUBBLES by Jack Levine
    5 Jun. 2023
    “ Jack Levine has a remarkable talent for taking instantly recognizable situations and twisting them into unexpected delights. Dick and Jane start out as strangers on a park bench, and end up as — well, I'm not about to spoil it. Along the way, the audience will enjoy getting to know these characters, and actors will enjoy plumbing their depths.
    Outstanding! ”
  • Blood Pact by Debra A. Cole
    3 Jun. 2023
    “ Be careful whom you trust, especially if you're married to them. In 10 short minutes we see the relationship between Becca and Phillip devolve with the inevitability of a car crash: Something terrible is going to happen, we don't know what and we can't look away.
    An inspired piece of horror that would be easy for theaters to produce and a treat for audiences to enjoy. Bravo! ”
  • Room 205 - A ONE MINUTE PLAY by Debra A. Cole
    1 Jun. 2023
    “ Nobody writes a good farce like Debra A. Cole, and no one can compose a one-minute farce like she does. "Room 205" is a satisfying, laugh-out-loud sprint through a comical encounter between a hotel worker and a guest. I loved every minute of this piece, even though it only had 1. ”
  • The Nihilists Victorious by Scott Sickles
    1 Jun. 2023
    “ Sixty seconds of absolute brilliance.

    "sorry." ”
  • Telling Dad (Ten Minute) by Paul Donnelly
    2 Apr. 2023
    “ This honest and ultimately uplifting play says so much about the world of transgender kids — the inner world in which they find themselves and the outer world that they have to navigate, too often filled with hateful politicians who want to legislate away their existence.

    I want to see this piece performed in front of every self-righteous asshole who wants to deny humanity to transgender people. ”
