  • Asher Wyndham: Blindside

    The bombshell revelation near the end of Act 1 is a real shocker! After Act 1 I'm left wondering, How is Sasha going to respond? How will her family react? among other questions. After I finally found out what happened - or, to be more precise, what Sasha did - during the war, it left me struggling taking sides. A necessary play about a contentious political issue that will never - never - go away. This compelling play uses an unconventional structure -- spliced conversations and monologues from various settings -- to build its tension.

  • Asher Wyndham: Tattoo You

    A captivating play about how a traumatic event in someone's young adulthood (like bullying) can have a profound impact on someone's later years. When the revelation comes...it makes me wonder who really can't move on and forgive... A great ten-minute, perfect for festivals celebrating female voices (or dealing with the topic of bullying). Perfect for young directors in college.

  • Asher Wyndham: Verna and Jeannie

    Original characters. The surprise revelation from Jeannie makes the play a page turner because she just doesn't stop talking. Jeannie's offer to Verna -- I'm not going to tell you what it is -- is another great surprise. I would like to see these two old ladies in a longer work.

  • Asher Wyndham: El Loro, El Gato y El Espiritu Santo (or The Parrot, the Cat and the Holy Ghost)

    The playwright's words create hilarious stage pictures and situations. I enjoyed how how the playwright intensified the story as the three teenagers try to cover up the "crime." An original story concept -- and that's rare. The ending is unexpected, and provides the best laugh.

  • Asher Wyndham: A Walk In The Ocean (a ten minute play)

    In ten-minutes Levine says so much about relationships and passion. The setting -- a blank stage that is an ocean floor -- is memorable. What the playwright says about "wading" in a relationship is beautiful and honest.

  • Asher Wyndham: The Heinrich Maneuver (a ten minute play)

    Cray-cray-crazy fun. No synopsis from me -- read it, laugh out loud. Ridiculous revelations. Another winning play with a fast-paced silly plot.

  • Asher Wyndham: Superhero (a ten minute play)

    Levine's superhero is not a comic-book-cut-out. A dynamic character that will win you over. A comedy that says something about the pure energy coursing through your veins, about your undeniable superhero potential.

  • Asher Wyndham: Cabfare For The Common Man (a ten minute play)

    Ah-mazing. This will definitely end up being one of my favorite ten-minute plays of all time. So much happens -- so many life events -- during the play, and that creates a one-of-a-kind theatrical spectacle. If you produce this play, it'll certainly be a winning production -- it will charm your audience. The journey of life from childhood to puberty to young adulthood to adulthood takes place in a cab -- in a bed. Brilliant. Enjoy the ride. I want to add -- I think this would be perfect for students new to directing in high school or college.

  • Asher Wyndham: IT'S OUR TOWN, TOO

    A beautiful, condensed GL version of Wilder's classic. The wedding, with two dads and two moms, made me smile. We (GLBTs) are Americans, part of the human race, with the same rituals as straights, part of the same daily struggle. We love and we're loved. The children of GLBT parents have lucked out just like Chance and Molly. A play for today and for the future. If you're interested in producing a queer short, part of an evening's worth of queer shorts, choose this play!

  • Asher Wyndham: Barbie Throws a House Party!

    A LOT OF FUN. The playwright does an excellent job capturing the voices of the famous plastic dolls. Listen, and you might recognize the voices of young adults, those that are self-absorbed, who seek pleasure without any conscience.
