  • Family Planning by John Minigan
    7 Apr. 2018
    “ This is one of my favorite short plays that speaks to living in the Age of Trump. What starts out as an average morning encounter between mother and daughter develops into a necessary story of survival for women who live in fear for tomorrow and the future. Just right for a festival on current themes or a political theatre festival. ”
  • Manticore!: A One-Minute Play by Jordan Elizabeth Henry
    7 Apr. 2018
    “ Henry is having so much fun with horror genre! But don't dismiss this and other horror plays as slight - This feminist got some fangs! Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa would luv these plays! And women worldwide too! Her horror plays deserve productions all over, and they'd make great YouTube videos, even cartoons that would certainly go viral! ”
  • Sucking On Cucumbers by Guadalís Del Carmen
    7 Apr. 2018
    “ I haven't read a play like this before-- women talking so freely about sex and their cravings in XXX-graphic detail. LMAO funny. Raunchy, raw, ridiculous. Kathy Acker would luv these women. I wouldn't be surprised if this play earns tons of productions in the next few years. ”
  • Welcome To The Gun Show by Everett Robert
    7 Apr. 2018
    “ This is one of my favorite of gun control monologues, a smart choice for any reading or production on gun control. With a twist I didn't see coming, this clever monologue with a dynamic salesman character shows us how idiotic America's gun control laws are right now in comparison to other countries. ”
  • Goat-Sucker: A One-Minute Play by Jordan Elizabeth Henry
    7 Apr. 2018
    “ Henry has shown her serious skill with realism, magic realism, and sci-fiction - and now a new route for her expansive imagination - feminist-horror-FU-patriarchy-comedy (whatever you wanna call these plays) - blood-splattered spectacles like GOAT-SUCKER that are highly entertaining for only a minute, but not simple in structure or story. Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa would luv these plays! And women worldwide too! Her horror plays deserve productions all over, and they'd make great YouTube videos, even cartoons that would certainly go viral! ”
  • Pole Dances with Wolves by Daniel Guyton
    7 Apr. 2018
    “ Guyton creates an absorbing drama about a mother/stripper, her frustration with pervy customers and her dreams for a better life for her baby -- in doing so, gives voice to all those women like her - sex workers - who deserves equal attention as other women in the #metoo movement. Recommended for a late night evening of plays on women's issues. ”
  • It's Special by Claudia Haas
    7 Apr. 2018
    “ If you're doing a reading or a short play festival on gun control on high school or college campus or elsewhere, consider Haas' IT'S SPECIAL. Makes you fear for the future, but it might also force you act, to encourage school administrators and politicians to do something - or at least have a conversation - about protecting school kids from gun violence. This morning before school conversation between parent and child may be reality soon, a few months from now, next year, if there's no serious gun reform. ”
  • Road Rash (a monologue) by Lindsay Partain
    6 Apr. 2018
    “ Super-sexy, no shame. Erotically charged monologue free of cliche. A woman, a human with sexy thoughts and memories that makes you smile because you identify with her. There's a sex goblin in each of us, c'mon, admit it. Love it that the character is bi -- bi characters are super rare in theatre. Perfect for audition. ”
  • Immortal Combat by Lindsay Partain
    5 Apr. 2018
    “ Love it, so much hilarity and theatricality in one minute, tightly structured, a genius story concept that will be a winner at any short play festival. A perfect one minute play, check it out. Study it. Produce it. Share it. ”
  • 2 B or Nah: Sexting Hamlet: A 10-Minute Play by Donna Latham
    5 Apr. 2018
    “ Highly recommended for high school, college and professional production. One of my favorite comedies on New Play Exchange. A postmodern parody of Hamlet in 10 minutes that's just perfect, a delight from beginning to end, many laughs a page, non-stop silliness and nastiness. The mashup of Shakespearian verse with contemporary speech and slang creates a dramatic language that fans of Latham's writing would love. PRODUCE THIS PLAY! ”
