  • Asher Wyndham: 20 Verses (one-act)

    I had the pleasure of seeing this play read at the William Inge Festival in 2019.
    This was definitely one of the highlights of the play readings.
    Immediately compelling and shocking as a tightly-structured play exposing hypocrisy and abuse and evil in a religious institution.
    I look forward to reading more of Lynch's work!

  • Asher Wyndham: The Fallout

    This domestic dramedy taking place during the Cuban Missile Crisis, imagining an inevitable nuclear attack, an alternative 1962, will make you ask - Who would you not want to take shelter with underground? Spouse, a certain friend? An uncertain future begs the question.
    This play would keep you audience in suspense and entertained.

  • Asher Wyndham: Whisper into the Ground

    I agree with everything the previous playwrights have said.
    I will add - Most playwrights would handle this play's subjects realistically. Not Haller. She goes deep emotionally, creating an imaginative place for the living and the dead, for mystery, poetry, grief, and empathy.
    Theatricality is actually quite rare, I think, in theatre - so let's give attention to playwrights like Haller.
    This is the kind of the theatre that directors and designers love!

  • Asher Wyndham: Down Deer

    It was a pleasure to hear a reading of this play at the Midwest Dramatists Conference in KS.
    We need more plays like this one - that capture through language a sense of region.
    Digs deep while confronting a tough topic.

  • Asher Wyndham: Round the Decay

    This snapshot of a drug addict and his cousin is heartbreaking. A believable situation of desperation and crisis on the street that elicits more than empathy - it can make you angry. Angry at the f'ing systems - medical, political, social - that makes it so easy for someone with mental health and drug addiction to fall through the cracks in the US.
    Incredible dialog!
    Bravo!

  • Asher Wyndham: Lost, yet Forever Here

    A tightly-structured play on memory and mourning that's relatable. Emotionally intense.
    I look forward to reading more from this playwright.

  • Asher Wyndham: Saga

    Cohen does it again! He doesn't disappoint!
    This play appeals to this superhero in each of us.
    It's marvelous, funny, intelligent.
    A perfect play for two actresses that want to show off their skills with comedy.
    If you're producing a comedy showcase, check this out!

  • Asher Wyndham: Overqualified

    This playwright knows how to make a play theatrical. She does so simply with the use of masks. Anyone who has struggled finding a job and dealing with interview after interview could relate to this.
    Comedy gold.
    One of those most animated plays I saw read at the Midwest Dramatists Conference in KS.

  • Asher Wyndham: ROUGH WATERS (a 10 minute play)

    Unlike most plays, the action and pacing is intentionally slow with silence and stillness for reflection. All of this allows for a relationship and connection to build in a natural way like in real life.
    It's an astounding play on loss, memory, and communication.

  • Asher Wyndham: DRAGON SLAYERS: Quest for the Egg of Armagon

    Some in your audience might not be a game, but don't despair/dismiss this, read it, produce it. As with her other plays, Carter again entertains with an imaginary world that you haven't seen on stage before, and makes the best of everything minute with ridiculous humor and adventure action.
    This will be a lot of fun for middle schoolers -- aldo designers (adult or kid).
