  • A LITTLE LITERARY ANALYSIS - a monologue by Monica Cross
    24 Feb. 2021
    “ Wendy is a hero, saving the wedding guests from the Philistine observations of Chad. Monica Cross takes on the cringeworthy wedding-day toasts and gives us a monologue that is funny and insightful. And a note to groomsmen and bridesmaids everywhere: Stay away from Sonnet 116! ”
  • Shrike and Magpie by Hayley St. James
    23 Feb. 2021
    “ Not since the Baseball Diamond theft at the end of "The Great Muppet Caper" have I enjoyed a heist as much as this one. Hayley St. James' 10-minute play sparkles with sharp dialogue, clever and funny one-upmanship and a twist ending that is just perfect. This play is, dare I say, a gem. A terrific showcase for two actresses to show their physical comedy chops. ”
  • Rescue by Kevin Podgorski
    22 Feb. 2021
    “ A harrowing and tension-filled short play about domestic violence. Clever use of Zoom theater, and one of the few dramatic pieces I've read that use the medium. ”
  • This Play Has an Iguana for a Protagonist by Liz Dooley
    22 Feb. 2021
    “ This is a hilarious play about human anatomy and the reptiles who don't get it. Arthur the iguana is fiercely protective of his human and endearing in his wish to not see her suffer. ”
  • Zoe or Zoe by Samantha Marchant
    22 Feb. 2021
    “ You have to feel for Zoé in this hilarious play about mispronunciation and Shakespeare. The opportunities for physical comedy in this piece make it great for staging at any one-act festival. I loved the well-meaning cluelessness of And, who, if asked the immortal Shakespearean question, "What's in a name?" might answer "Not much. You?" ”
  • Marcie and Patty Are Getting Married by Hilary Bluestein-Lyons
    19 Feb. 2021
    “ This is a great farce filled with physical comedy and misunderstandings, but at the heart of it is a really sweet love story. Hilary Bluestein-Lyons gives us an update to Charlie Brown's gang that's 100% organic and true to the spirit of the original characters. ”
  • Would You Like Help With That? *A Zoom Play* by Jacquelyn Floyd-Priskorn
    18 Feb. 2021
    “ This poignant and touching play illustrates perfectly the hell that it is to be an Alzheimer's patient and the hell of being an Alzheimer's patient's grown child. Jacquelyn Floy-Priskorn does a great job setting this play in a virtual environment, though it could easily be staged in front of a live audience if those days ever return. Great job! ”
  • The Shape of the Unknown by Emily McClain
    17 Feb. 2021
    “ Besides the genius staging of this play — who needs Zoom when you've got an open field? — what I love most about this play is how Hank appears to be a wacko at first but as the play progresses you realize his search for UFOs is really quite grounded and rational. Watching these two characters take the journey from the beginning of the play to the end is a real joy. ”
  • Here's Your Sandwich by Philip Middleton Williams
    17 Feb. 2021
    “ An all-too-relatable and funny, sharp comedy about the hell that is writer's block. Philip Middleton Williams nails the dilemma with humor and crackling dialogue. ”
  • For Richard, for Poorer by Steven G. Martin
    17 Feb. 2021
    “ Hilarious and heartfelt. Eddie's monologue would be a real treat to perform live. It's so full of manic energy and he keeps you riveted, wondering where it's all going to end up (and if there really will be a wedding in the end). ”
