  • Ye Olde Tech Support by Sarah Bowden
    17 Nov. 2017
    “ Funny, clever, quick, smart. This play is a blast to read for a nerdy gal like me, but the appeal of this play is universal. Would be a great addition to a short play festival. ”
  • Popsicle Kisses by Franky D. Gonzalez
    17 Nov. 2017
    “ Truly stunning. POPSICLE KISSES explores the subtle, insidious nature of situations of abuse, particularly sexual abuse within families. Father is a truly frightening, detailed character. What makes Franky Gozalez's play so masterful is the character of Daughter. For a play of such intensity of subject matter and movement, the true strength of the piece is in the subtleties of this father-daughter relationship. A play I won't soon forget. ”
  • In Full Bloom by Paige Zubel
    17 Nov. 2017
    “ Heartbreaking, captivating, raw, and honest. IN FULL BLOOM deals with the practicalities of grieving. Zubel treats Roger and Beth with love and dignity, honoring their separate expressions of grief and making a space for them to connect in the midst of their personal catastrophe. A beautiful short play. ”
  • RABIOSA: An Ode to Hurricane Maria by Nelson Diaz-Marcano
    17 Nov. 2017
    “ Wow - a beautiful one-woman short play about fury, homeland, and hope. Diaz-Marcano weaves poetry, magic, and deep, deep anger into this piece in such a careful, artful way. RABIOSA is as moving and powerful as a hurricane; if any human being can stand up to a storm, it's Rocio. ”
  • TATTOO: A Tale of Terror by Greg Burdick
    16 Nov. 2017
    “ I wish everyone could see the face I made when I finished reading this creepy, awesome play. I am delighted and horrified - this piece of radio theatre would make Stephen King's heart beat faster. I can only hope I get to hear it performed one day. So clever, so creepy. I love it. ”
  • HAPPI IN IOWA by Asher Wyndham
    16 Nov. 2017
    “ A beautiful short play about shame, forgiveness, family, and connection. Becky and Kyle need so much from one another, and it takes a lot of messy work to get to a place where they can ask for the things they need. Asher Wyndham covers so much ground in such a short piece. A great role for a trans/non-binary actor -- these characters are complex and deep. ”
  • A Dance At The Prom by Rob Matsushita
    16 Nov. 2017
    “ This is the sweetest little play I've read in a long time. So funny, and so heartwarming. A lovely, simple story about connection. ”
  • Dee by Thembi Duncan
    16 Nov. 2017
    “ A short play that left me feeling frustrated and pissed off in the best possible way. DEE is a vital part of the conversation about intersectionality. This play speaks for itself: a must-read. ”
  • George Orwell’s 1989: A “Swift” 10 Minute Adaptation by Steven Hayet
    14 Nov. 2017
    “ Just reading this play had me laughing so hard there were tears in my eyes; I can't even imagine the effect in person. Hilarious and wonderful; a "wish I had thought of that first" kind of play. ”
  • The Loophole by Stacey Isom Campbell
    14 Nov. 2017
    “ Aching and heartbreaking, full of beauty and truth: THE LOOPHOLE asks how much grief the human heart can bear before it transforms, for good or ill. Melding music, magic, poetry, and high stakes, Isom-Campbell's play is exciting theatre. ”
