  • Asher Wyndham: The Kiss (a ten minute play)

    A thoughtful, playful, delightful comedy that has perfect structure.
    Simple story concept that reveals complexity.
    If you're new to playwriting, you need to invest your time studying Levine's short plays.

  • Asher Wyndham: Storm Watch

    Shya's crisis and her fear of death is something almost any audience member can relate to.
    Goodwin's comparison of death and destruction outside (by storms, tornados) and inside (by mass shootings and deaths) is not a stretch. The country is kind of in an tornado alley of extreme weather and violence, so many random deaths that really make us question our faith and country.
    How do we remain strong while watching the storm?
    Great work!

  • Asher Wyndham: Zucchini

    Unexpected surprises and fun for kids in the world of this play and also for kids in the audience.
    Kid stage designers will have fun with this one.
    Whatever Weaver is adding to his zucchini recipes I want to know!
    He's got some crazy-good ideas.

  • Asher Wyndham: Athena

    The female friendship in this play naturally develops, never rushed, with seriousness, intelligence, and humor.
    Immediately compelling and thoroughly satisfying, this play is a must read for any theatre interested in female stories.
    If you're a fan of The Wolves and any recent play about girls in sports, produce this play. If you're a fight choreographer, read this and beg others to produce it.

  • Asher Wyndham: BLOOD TIES

    This perfectly paced, emotionally complex short play made me think hard about what freedom really means.
    A smart choice for two women, great for scene study in college or any festival inspired on the Civil War or any festival on race or the American Dream.

  • Asher Wyndham: TRANSDROID (a three-minute play)

    This playwright covers a lot in three minutes. This clever concept hooks you immediately. It'd be a great addition to a science fiction showcase.
    I'd love to see these characters in a full length!

  • Asher Wyndham: Light a Candle for the EXvangelical

    Heartfelt, tense drama questioning faith that feels unforced.
    There's something here, from either character perspective, that someone could relate to.
    A conversation starter for believers of all faiths or those that left the faith.

  • Asher Wyndham: ALL THERE IS TO SEE (fka "Seeing Eye")

    How much of your inner self, your insecurities and fears, do you let people in your life see? How much is too much? How much of your emotional weight do you expose? SEEING EYE is a necessary -- rare -- play that deals with disability -- blindness -- but it's not the definining characteristic for its protagonist. Jason illicits empathy not because he's blind, no; we feel for him because he desires for a connection with someone else that's authentically human and sexy AF. The scenes unfold beautifully as they deal with intimacy, communication and trust. PRODUCE THIS!

  • Asher Wyndham: Thrasher (10 minute excerpt of OFF THE PALISADES PARKWAY)

    That moment in your teen years when your friend has other friends. Malakhow captures a moment that most people can relate to or remember. The language, frustration, and tension of this moment seems so uncontrived, authentic, it's astounding.
    This would be a great scene-study for beginning actors and a smart selection for any short play showcase.
