  • Adam Richter: Closer to Fine: A Tribute to Searching

    Debra A. Cole has created a definitive dramatic interpretation of the Indigo Girls' iconic song that pays a loving homage while also standing as its own, fantastic piece. She took the inspiration from the prompt and gave us a terrific three-person play that would be compelling to watch on stage. Bravo!

  • Adam Richter: Pride is a Sin

    The rhetorical knots that Christopher Soucy ties and unties in this short play had me laughing from beginning to end. "Pride is a Sin" is a terrific satire of religion, damnation and theology in general while also being fun as hell.

  • Adam Richter: Romeo & Juliet & Velociraptors

    Romeo and Juliet didn't need a better sense of timing to save them; they just needed dinosaurs. The happy couple gets a well-deserved update in this bloody, charming and laugh-out-loud funny adaptation. Bravo!

  • Adam Richter: waiting for the bus

    Christopher Soucy's wickedly funny short play is going to set back interest in public transportation for decades, but it's so worth it. Read this play. Produce it. And make sure you have exact change.

  • Adam Richter: Heartburn

    Sitting alone in a doctor's office, waiting for someone to tell you what's happening, is a breeding ground for dread. Daniel Prillaman turns that feeling up to 11 in this masterful, easy to stage short horror play. I will have it in the front of my mind the next time I go for a checkup.

  • Adam Richter: A Vote for Him - A 5-Minute Monodrama

    These days, no conversation about politics is "just politics," because one of the parties has decided that dehumanization of the other is a key part of its message. Politics is personal, because the decisions that our elected — sure, let's call them "leaders" — make affects the livelihoods and existence of so many fellow citizens. Debra Cole shows what the stakes are in this upcoming election — and indeed any election — and, spoiler: It's more than just the state of your 401(k).
    Blistering, masterful and necessary. Read this. And produce it.

  • Adam Richter: Oh, No! I Flew Too Close to the Sun!

    The dialogue and the build-up in this play make the audience both pity poor Festus and long to see him play what seems like his dream role. This is a brilliantly funny play that would be great to see live. Bravo!

  • Adam Richter: That Last Summer

    A beautiful, real and heartbreaking play about a longtime friendship and the roads — really a singular road — not taken in life. This was an exquisite joy to read.
