  • The Ferberizing of Coral by Patrick Flynn
    26 May. 2018
    “ This play is hee-larious from start to finish, no dull moment. It's bonkers, but it's got a big heart -- a message for all new parents (I'm not going to say what it is) that needs repeating. The play is also warning for those who are deciding to be parents or not -- yeah, don't do it, not worth it -- all that crying. This is a great play where sound design influences the drama and creates a spectacle that you've never seen before. A director and the two actors will have a lot of fun with this. PRODUCE THIS! ”
  • So Beautiful by Barbara Lhota

    “ 'What else have we not talked about?' Rarely do couples get to this question and answer it, even several years into the relationship/marriage. In this play the biggest decision in life reveal insecurities, secrets, and truths. The play starts off funny and then builds with an intensity that reveals shocking truths about each other and our mixed world still made difficult by racism, hate, and ignorance. Highly recommended for a Queer/LGBTQIA festival or any festival! ”
  • Better (Short) by Vince Gatton
    25 May. 2018
    “ The monologues, the rhythm of the dialog, the vulgarity, the viciousness, the nastiness -- all of it impressively creates the two distinct women that seem so REAL, so ALIVE. I would love to see this play! These women are cold, ugly, raw just like the poultry coming down on the line. A perfect representation of working class women in a factory. Perfect. Highly recommended. This play makes me want to check out other plays by Vince Gatton... ”
  • Stalled by Sharon Cooper

    “ The development of the relationship from strangers to friends is remarkable in its 10 pages. Even though it's gradual development, the believable dialog is nuanced in a way that's emotionally effective. A structure that perfectly explores and expresses its themes. A smart choice for women in their 40s. A smart choice for a Queer/LGBTQ festival. Highly recommended. ”
  • Just Desserts by David MacGregor

    “ This. This is the perfect dark comedy. Don't dismiss this as a silly comedy about getting even with the person that steals food at work; it's much more, it targets the amoralism or just plain nastiness of workers who know nothing about ethics. Or maybe it's just the perfect dark comedy. If you've had your lunches stolen at work, this play is for you. A smart choice for any comedy festival. ”
  • The Devil Eats Oreos? by Sharai Bohannon
    25 May. 2018
    “ The ending is shocking just like the ending in Conor McPherson's play SHINING CITY. Susan, who has experienced the paranormal, can't unsee what she's seen -- and those like myself who have seen strange things that can't be easily explained can relate to her. This is a play for the Lydias of the world that are skeptical, and for the Susans that are not crazy. In only a few pages, Bohannon has a constructed a complex sister relationship -- one that I'd love to see explored in a longer piece. I look forward to reading other 'horror' plays by Bohannon. ”
  • Buried by Audrey Webb

    “ The emotional density of the dialog is impressive. Heartbreaking from beginning to end. A perfect 10-minute for two actors. I can see this being produced all over the country and the world. Highly recommended. I look forward to reading other work by Audrey Webb. ”
  • Hate Baby by Gracie Gardner
    25 May. 2018
    “ I highly recommend this wacky play about postpartum depression, anxiety about being a new parent, and regret. At one moment I'm shocked by this women's objection to being a mother and her awful thoughts about her newborn, and then the next I was totally understanding her and she's breaking your heart. A ten-minute like no other -- just like the award-winning play Pussy Sludge. Expect the unexpected with Gracie Gardner. I will definitely check out her other plays. ”
  • Even Flowers Bloom in Hell, Sometimes by Franky D. Gonzalez
    24 May. 2018
    “ This play exemplifies why theatre is necessary. It elicits empathy for Prisoner and other inmates while exploring them as minorities within a racist 'System' (Prison). They're locked-up, but their reflections on Life, Liberty, Happiness -- American Identity -- and Time, Death, Love -- their individual philosophies -- free them. And empower the audience outside the Prison to think about making the best use of Time and Life. A BIG play like the plays it references - Beckett's, Genet's, Baldwin's; it's stellar playwriting, the dialog between Prisoner, Sister and son some of the best I've read on NPX! PRODUCE THIS!!!!!! ”
  • Cowboy by Gracie Gardner
    23 May. 2018
    “ A monologue unlike any other -- one without an actor on stage. How's that even possible? Check it out. A wacky Wellmanesque oddity and spectacle. A f'd up monologue that's really charming. A play for now and the future. Plays without actors. With inanimate objects, bots, AI. ”
