Here's the logic of gun owners -- those men that just want to protect their home and family -- dramatized with a bit of comedy. This play made me think about gun violence from breaking and entering or robberies that seem inevitable to most people -- they think, it will happen someday so I have to be prepared. But gun violence as a result of the above mentioned situations is not inevitable - if we do something about gun violence, limiting guns, removing guns from the wrong people. Consider this conversation-starter play for your festival on gun violence.

There's an evil joy in this play that seems to pay homage to the wicked scientists and their henchmen from Saturday morning cartoons. The big gestures, the made-up words, the plotting, the highs and lows of our two characters -- it's pure entertainment for all ages. All ages, yes - kids from elementary and middle school and their parents and friends - everyone - will enjoy this sci-fi-comedy.
This would be a hit at any sci-fi-themed festival or any comedy showcase.
It would be hee-larious to see kids in these roles.

If you have worked in an office or any workplace where good intentions were absent, where the verbal attacks piled on high with the assignments, where trust and character were tested -- then DeVita's comedy is for you.
Some of the snappiest and fiercest dialog I've come across in a long time.

Add some humor to your Halloween showcase with this surprising solo starring The Grim Reaper. If only a date was as delightful as the Grim Reaper...

Through her feminist folktale for young audiences, Carnes reminds us of the power of unlimited imagination, spirit, and optimism. On a middle-school stage a landscape of Northern Lights and frozen terrain can come to life, as expansive and enchanting as Wonderland, populated by creatures and talking things good and evil. Kids get to play talking flowers, snowflakes, birds, and so so much more -- there's a part for everyone in the drama class!
The Narrator's lines will inspire different interpretations and a dream-like design concept by lighting, media design, props, and set.
Carnes world-building with words and images is marvelous!

Non-stop tension, riveting all the way to the shocking ending.
One of my favorite short plays by Hoke.
Another masterful work!
If you're producing a showcase of shorts on faith or set in prisons, choose this play.

Statue of Liberty comes to life--in a clinic's waiting room. Even with her failing vision, Liberty stays firm to her commitment to America, to justice.
A reminder that even as you age, even until death, you should still stand up for what is right and represent just like Liberty!
I'd love to see this at a monologue festival.

Levine writes stellar comedy, ratcheting up the ridiculousness without compromising his themes and message. This play is a fine example.
It's not an exaggeration to say Levine is one of America's best short play playwrights in the history of short plays.

If you're a fan of the classic Reindeer Monologues by Jeff Goode, you're going to luv Hoke's Christmas short play! This Pride-ful, outcast-loving play will be hit at your holiday festival. I encourage Queer directors and producers to read this, Tweet about it, Facebook post about it. This deserves productions in December, all over, from Alaska to Florida. This would be a hit at colleges. Who cares this wasn't written by a gay man because it's a f-ing fabulous, crass-tastic, homo Christmas alternative to Goode's play.

Hoke's play isn't your perfect reconcilation story, and that's what makes it so perfect.
Anyone who has tried to make up for lost time, struggled to find happiness and redemption with someone from the past, like a former lover or partner, will be able to identify with these complicated characters.
Their journey to trust again, to communicate better, to confide, to care for reach other is so entertaining. And funny.
These characters are so well-developed, it's a marvel.
PRODUCE THIS!
