“Transmission” is one of the most carefully crafted pieces I’ve ever set my eyes on. Suilebhan accounted for every detail of this script, and it is very evident as you dig deep into the mind-melting material “Transmission” has to offer. Intimate, Immersive and Intelligent, this script will leave no gaps, and will engage your brain in ways you haven’t experienced before.

This monologue was funny, along with unique. It shines light on discrimination in retirement communities; the idea of a sweet and funny gay retiree receiving hate over who he is attracted to makes me sullen. Chuck’s humor and outlook makes him empathetic, which adds to the scripts allure. Highly recommended!

This piece makes me anxious, and that’s credited to Osmundsen’s creative writing style and scenario these characters are stuck in, literally stuck in. The well-placed foreshadowing, along with the tense dialogue makes this piece raw and hard-hitting. Anyone who drives can sympathize with these characters.

I cannot express how much I love this piece in 100 words, but I’ll do my best. A fellow playwright recommended this piece to me after reading my play on heroin addiction, and Vovos absolutely blows me away with this one-person look into the life of an addict. This script is like sushi: raw, but very palatable and enjoyable, as the central character is empathetic and immensely watchable. This piece should be produced everywhere, it is truly something unique and special.

Busser’s “A First-Draft Second-Rate Love Story” is not only hilarious, it gives companies artistic freedoms; if this is chosen for production, Busser leaves gaps for the actors and director to fill in themselves, which is why I find it unique. As someone said here, its like Saturday Night Live parodying itself. A very fun ten minutes of theatre, with low production costs!

When reading “Make Way,” I couldn’t help to think of Ray Bradbury’s “Farenheight 451.” Osmundsen creates a grayscale, dystopian world with his nameless characters, and shows the importance of literature and freedom of speech. Osmundsen’s voice is as enjoyable as it is important. A very poignant piece.

This may be a ten-minute play, but it is jam packed with allusions and humor. Philip Middleton Williams has put classic sci-fi works under a modern lens with this meticulously crafted tale. Fans of science fiction, look no further than this piece; it is everything you could want in a play.

This play punched me in the gut. Personable, eloquent, and heartbreaking, “Light Switch” is a gem of a play, with very empathetic and believable characters. I would love to see a production of this play, as Osmundsen’s creative concept and dialogue was made to be seen on the stage.

Wow, I love this play. “The Last Shore Trip” had my jaw on the floor as it ended. Osmundsen’s writing feels like a spoken word piece, it flowed like the waves on that shore, and his imagery is picturesque. An amazing look into friendship/substance abuse. I cannot wait to read more of Osmundsen’s work, it’s truly captivating.

Wow! That’s my first reaction when I finished “FABLE.” It’s very clear DeVita has done his research, and his ability to blur the line between artifice and reality can captivate reader/audience alike. I can’t wait to see where this one-act goes, its truly a unique piece of theatre.
