  • The Sealing of Ceil by Glenn Alterman
    7 Jun. 2018
    “ Thoroughly satisfying. The whodunit mystery, the unanswered questions, Ceil's sexy extra-marital affair, the vignette structure that breaks with realism -- it keeps you turning the pages -- all the way to the shocking end. The language seemed like it blended William Inge with crime noir. Check out this award-winning play. Even better, produce it. ”
  • The Final Debate by Rachel Bublitz
    7 Jun. 2018
    “ Bublitz's powerful TYA play could do more than elicit empathy -- it could do more than make an audience angry at the sad state of our country under the Second Amendment; it could inspire students in school and their parents to take action, to keep school safety at the top of priorities and demand change from the powerful people in the community. The PTSD-like trauma theatricalized in this play is today's reality for all schoolchildren -- this play reminds you of that. Perfect for a gun control festival. Highly recommended. ”
  • Don't Step in That! by Emily Hageman
    5 Jun. 2018
    “ This will be a lot of fun for one minute festivals across the country but also beginning directing classes. Kids would love to do this in their first theatre class. Clever concept. ”
  • Pepper Pirates for Life! by Matthew Weaver
    4 Jun. 2018
    “ This is play is proof why a theatre should commission Weaver to write short plays. With a comic sensibility that David Ives would appreciate and a theatrical spectacle that would win the evening, his short plays are some of the best entertainments and distractions on the planet, maybe the entire universe. Read it, share it, produce it now. And check out his other plays that have been produced all over the country. ”
  • Duck by Sheila Cowley
    4 Jun. 2018
    “ This play makes you wonder about those conversations you never had, the moments when you could've learned more about a loved one. The belongings left behind by loved ones that passed away are not junk, they're artifacts, icons, but sadly it's too late. This play could inspire audience members to ask about a family member's stuff, no matter how strange. A smart choice for a festival on family themes. ”
  • Swallowed by Rachel Bublitz
    4 Jun. 2018
    “ Wow. Definitely one of my favorite climate control plays. This is the kind of play that can inspire playwrights to write their own climate control plays or be used by theatres and non-profits around the globe. The dramatic situation intensified by crashing waves and thunder creates a spectacle I've never seen on the page and stage. An amazing challenge for designers. In the future we will be inspired by our climate control martyrs. Produce this now, share it, tweet it, this is theatre that is necessary! ”
  • I Hate This (a play without the baby) by David Hansen
    3 Jun. 2018
    “ You'll feel the range of emotions of complex mourning that this man goes through. You may be a parent who has never experienced a loss like David's, you may never experience this because you don't want kids, but this is still a play for you - a play that will fill your heart - in the end it doesn't deflate it - because it's that acceptance of loss and the love - genuine, holy love - that comes with that is something we can relate to - and connects us to one another. Highly recommended for solo festivals. ”
  • HELPER by Rachael Carnes
    3 Jun. 2018
    “ A monologue from a dog's perspective. You read that right. Captures what we love about our canine pals, their unconditional love and devotion, their power to change not only our day from sucky to great, but also save ourselves from despair or worse. They certainly can make us better humans. This would be a wonderful challenge for an actor -- on all fours. ”
  • Day Six by Emily Hageman
    3 Jun. 2018
    “ Clever, funny concept in just a minute. I can totally relate to Teddy; I know I'm not the only one. An actor will have fun playing Teddy totally losing it. Hageman excels at writing about dudes and guys in the longer one act form, and now also in the one minute play. Hageman please write some more one minute plays. ”
  • Teach Me How To Telephone ( A 10 Minute Play) by Drew Michele
    31 May. 2018
    “ Charming, a one-of-a-kind story that melts your heart after making you laugh so hard. When the young woman Macy gets nervous before the interviewer calls it's really funny, but then I started thinking -- there are so many young people just like her: more comfortable via text/messaging, but when it comes to speaking on the telephone they are awkward, they can't be themselves. This play captures something flawed and sad about Macy's generation: texting and other technology/communication has destroyed genuine voice-to-voice, human-to-human connection. I HIGHLY recommend this winning play for production all over the country. ”
