  • A Very Very Short Play by Jacquelyn Reingold
    19 Feb. 2020
    “ What a lovely, funny, imaginative short play. It was such fun to read; it would be even more fun to see. ”
  • Rooster Poker by Lee R. Lawing
    19 Feb. 2020
    “ What a wild, weird, wonderful play -- ROOSTER POKER is surreal and incredibly fascinating. I was dying to find out more about this world and situation, and the ending left me feeling satisfied but curious; it left me wanting more in the very best way. I love Lawing's plays about Hawaii, and this one is great. ”
  • A First-Draft Second-Rate Love Story by John Busser
    18 Feb. 2020
    “ Such a fun, quick, witty piece that covers the woes and wonders of script development. LOVE STORY felt like reading a play of inside jokes for theatre people, which I absolutely loved. It would be such a great addition to short play festivals, especially to open the night. ”
  • The Magic of Niagara by Margie Semilof
    17 Feb. 2020
    “ A sweet short play about passion and keeping excitement alive in later years of life. Kitty and Sam both long for that excitement, but it alludes them both. Would be a fun addition to short play festivals. ”
  • Top Shelf Tolstoy by Maximillian Gill
    15 Feb. 2020
    “ Such a fun short play about keeping a library afloat in the midst of an economic downturn; it pairs nicely with Erica's recent downturn as a new divorcee moving to a new town. The dialogue was quick and punchy, and the characters well-developed in just a few pages. Very enjoyable. ”
  • Ten Mile Lake by Tira Palmquist
    13 Feb. 2020
    “ What a gorgeous play. It left my heart full and broken at the same time. TEN MILE LAKE explores the heartache of having an aging parent, of being an aging parent, of being a caretaker and not being there when it matters. Beautifully theatrical and full of love. This play will strike chords with any audience. ”
  • That Kind of Boy [a 1-minute play] by Steven G. Martin
    12 Feb. 2020
    “ This play is extremely sweet and I loved it very much. Very charming, very full of love. Martin's plays always make me smile. ”
  • A Ship of Strong Timber by Isaac Rathbone
    12 Feb. 2020
    “ A SHIP OF STRONG TIMBER presents a scifi nightmare -- characters trapped together for four years with no escape from one character's psychological break. Rathbone creates a whole world in a few short pages and invites us to feel the claustrophobia of deep space. A really enjoyable science fiction piece that leans on character development. ”
  • ROOM 27 by Greg Burdick
    12 Feb. 2020
    “ ROOM 27 is so much fun -- what a great re-imagining of two wonderful absurdist plays, with just a hint of Luigi Pirandello. Funny, sad, moving, and thoughtfully-crafted, Burdick has given us a piece that any actor would love to play with. Definitely recommend. ”
  • EXPRESSION OF REGRET by Christine Toy Johnson
    12 Feb. 2020
    “ A beautiful short play that explores the Chinese Exclusion Act and the lasting impact that it had in the lives of immigrants and citizens in the US. A wonderful piece to encourage voting and political engagement. ”
