Even lobsters can dream ... right? Lee Lawing's delightful monologue brings us inside the mind of these beautiful creatures (does a lobster have a mind? debatable — but THIS ONE does).
"One in 30 Million" has a lot to say about lobsters, yes, but also about the struggle to fit in in and the importance of finding your place in the world — even if it's not the place you thought it would be.

The wordplay in this delightful one-minute piece is hilarious, but the punchline at the end delivers like an atom bomb. "Southern Family Planning" is a great satire that needs to be performed.

Sam Heyman took two things that suck — Zoom and job interviews — and made comedy gold. This play is an absolute riot, a farcical skewering of the job search process. Brilliant!

THIS is the mother-daughter relationship to which all parents and children should aspire. "Last Night, First Time" is a touching and frank play about boundaries and when "The Talk" inevitably turns to action. Funny and heartwarming — and a little bit cringey, in all the best ways.

I loved how Christopher Soucy took the whole strangers-meet-on-a-park-bench convention and turned it on its head in this lovely short two-hander. The setup is subtle but compelling, and the payoff at the end is that much more satisfying as a result.
I would say more but to reveal anything else would give too much away. Read this for yourself. Better yet, produce it.

Newlywed bliss is so perfect, Trey wants to bottle the moment so it lasts forever. Hilary Bluestein-Lyons, as she does so expertly, mucks this up for our hero and delivers comedy gold in this hilarious short play. Memories should last but moments need to come and go — much like Simone, whose need to go kickstarts the conflict.
This would be a hoot for actors and audiences alike. Well done!

A lovely short play about what can happen when we drop the façade we want the world to see and show our true selves, calluses and all. Bravo!

As someone who keeps, but rarely plays, a guitar near my desk, I felt personally attacked by this play. :)

Seriously, Christopher Soucy's "The Mediator" is a brilliant piece about the price we pay for growing up, and the bits of ourselves we lose as we do. I think audiences would connect with it and walk away thinking about "The Mediator," as well as whatever dreams they've shoved in their own closets over the years.

Bonnie and Clyde have nothing on Herb and Gloria.
That may be a slight exaggeration, but this short two-hander of a would-be scofflaw and the partner who pushes him into a life of crime is a delight. Bravo!

Death and loneliness come for us all.
But in the meantime, there's delicious pie.
And this beautiful short play, a wonderful two-hander that reveals profound truths about life in the span of 60 seconds.
