Flynn’s widely creative “The Ferberizing of Coral” is not only comedic, it possesses a rich plot that disregards the concept of time. We watch this child grow up before our eyes, displaying the stress of parenting and how inexperience only fuels this stress. An amazing piece that deserves the recognition it has received.

This play may only be 10 pages, but Gonzalez’s ability to compact information makes it an enriching, thought-provoking piece that will have audiences leaving the theatre with a lot to think about. Highly recommended!

A incredibly funny 10-minute with a dark side. The blend of both is flawless, and Busser’s writing can take an ordinary game of golf and turn it into something widely interesting. I’m not a fan of golf, but I am certainly a fan of “A Wicked Slice.”

Once again, DeVita stuns me with his well-developed, dynamic characters, plot structure, and flows-like-butter dialogue. A perfect amount of comedy to accompany a story that’ll keep you interested until the end. A play that actors and directors alike would have a blast doing.

A deeply personal memory play that regards the passing of a lover. A deep commemoration for him and all he did. A play that’ll move you to tears of laughter and tears of sadness. An absolutely stunning piece that encapsulates many years of love.

Short, simple, yet effectively executed. The characters pop right off the page; the tension of this bottled-up love confession is just as performance as it is relatable. If you’re looking for a powerful piece that’s inexpensive to produce, this is a great one to look at!

The words that every gay child would want to hear from their parents after coming out. Deray's piece shows poise, promise, and promotes acceptance of someone's sexual affiliation. This is definitely a current and important piece of theatre, seek this one out!

This is a bookworm’s dream! So many allusions to famous works, paired with witty comedy and well-written characters makes Nell Dash an memorable piece. Seek this one out, DeVita’s concept is immaculately difficult, but was executed with precision and perfection. Not a single detail was unaccounted for.

This monologue punched me in the gut. It was beautiful, it was tragic, and it made waterfalls pour out my eyes. Such a concise, well-written piece. It is only a page of dialogue, and it can stand on its own. That’s a testament to Carnes and her ability to maximize the minimal. This is world-class writing. Amazing work, Rachael.

What a touching piece! A recollection of the memories the protagonist shared with his soulmate. Williams focuses heavy on the power of memory, and how we can keep the deceased alive in our subconscious. This piece is didactic, as it taught me that life is temporary, and experiences are forever. Once again, Philip displays writing excellence with “Allen’s Big Adventure.”
