  • 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). ”
  • 19 Excellent Reasons to Date Matthew Weaver (a monologue) by Matthew Weaver
    17 Feb. 2021
    “ A funny, charming and insightful monologue that I found an absolute delight to read. I loved the jokes but even more I loved the emotional honesty of the piece, how Matthew Weaver reveals things that so many of us keep hidden from the world in making the (quite compelling) case to date him. ”
  • The Last Great Act of Mankind by Scott Sickles
    15 Feb. 2021
    “ This play is heartbreaking, and not because the end of the world is imminent. Scott does such a good job at making big catastrophes intimate (see the Second World Trilogy if you don't believe me). You find yourself rooting for Lars and Benno, and hoping the meteor will hold off long enough for them to resolve their issues. ”
  • White People Shouldn’t Be Writing About This: a monologue about the Lunar New Year by Hayley St. James
    14 Feb. 2021
    “ The line between adding diverse voices and flat-out cultural appropriation is a blurry one, but Hayley St. James brings it into sharp focus with this insightful and incisive monologue. ”
  • NIXIN' NIXON (10 Minute Play) by Elisabeth Giffin Speckman
    9 Feb. 2021
    “ This is a quick-moving, funny play that finally asks (and answers) the burning question: If you're not going to cover up a hole in the bathroom wall with a framed photo of Richard Nixon, then how will you cover it? This has great sharp banter and physical comedy that would make it a hoot onstage. ”
  • The Time You Were Away (a monologue) by Scott Sickles
    9 Feb. 2021
    “ The problem with older siblings is that they get everything and it's still not enough. Justine has a plan to fix that in this delightfully twisted monologue. She's a monster, but Sickles makes it clear that all of her demented moves are, in a way, rational. ”
  • Unum (short play) by David Hansen
    9 Feb. 2021
    “ A concise, well-crafted distillation of what it's like to live in the two Americas: Those who believe in objective reality and those who don't. David Hansen does so much in so little time. This play would make a great and necessary addition to any short-play festival. ”
  • Ask Me Anything by Philip Middleton Williams
    9 Feb. 2021
    “ Few job interviews are as harrowing as the one in this sharp, funny 10-minute play. The dialogue crackles and the rapid-fire pace of Steve's questions and Martin's answers would really zing on stage. ”
  • Clasp by Toby Malone
    9 Feb. 2021
    “ This is such an emotional and necessary piece. Toby Malone absolutely nails the isolation and longing for human connection that most of us have been feeling in this past year. ”
  • The Reinhart Beethoven Third Concerto by Larry Rinkel
    8 Feb. 2021
    “ This is a funny and relatable short comedy about music obsession and the endless quest for perfection. Anton Klimkowsky is a man obsessed with one part of one piece of a recording; while he's obsessed, he's not a caricature. This would be a great play for any 10-minute festival. ”
