  • Asher Wyndham: The Sweater by Kevin King
    “

    A perfect little comedy in four pages that almost anyone can relate to.
    This would be a perfect acting exercise for beginning actors or addition to any comedy showcase at college or at a professional theatre.

  • Asher Wyndham: Two Women In Budapest by Mary Teitelbaum
    “

    A heartbreaking scene that captures a moment in the refugee crisis from the perspective of two Arab women. The desperation, fear, and dreams of these two women come to the surface through an unexpected, surprising tension -- a necessary drama that humanizes immigrants seeking asylum.
    Perfect for any international festival on refugees/asylum seekers.

  • Asher Wyndham: Monsters Beyond the Midnight Zone by Lindsay Partain
    “

    I'll add to the recommendations -- this would be a great play for tech and sound designers.
    A play in total darkness that creeps us out every crazy minute.
    Unrelenting horror for the two characters, but total fun for the audience.

  • Asher Wyndham: PRACTICE by Gina Femia
    “

    I love this play. The intimacy and intensity unfolds gradually, naturally, totally engaging, poignant, poetic.
    Again, Femia's use of language is just MAGICAL!
    If you're an older actor looking to play a girl, then choose this play.
    This would be a smart choice for any festival on lesbian themes.

  • Asher Wyndham: THE RULES [AN IMMERSIVE 1-MINUTE PLAY] by Steven G. Martin
    “

    Brief, but intense every single second which is kind of rare for a one-minute play. A director will find a lot to do in the space.

  • Asher Wyndham: Positive + by Neil Radtke
    “

    This little play is fearless, unflinching. Where you think it's going to go, it goes in a different direction. Engrossing from the first page. Positively entertaining, thought provoking, the kind of drama that you wouldn't find produced at festivals devoted to teen subjects, but should be done, everywhere. Teen feminists would approve. Bravo.

    “

    She puts gouda cheese under her... I won't say. Read this crazy sci-fi comedy that's just perfect for three actresses. Producers, read and consider this for your comedy showcase, professional or college. Perfect for any festival on sci-fi themes. Easy to produce.
    I'd love to read what happens after this scene.

  • Asher Wyndham: The Bar Mitzvah of Jesus Goldfarb by Andrew Heinze
    “

    Comedy gold. Philip Roth, if he were alive, would love the humor in this. Consider this if you're producing a festival on Jewish/faith issues or any comedy showcase.

    “

    Perfect pacing, intensifying naturally.
    A beautiful play.
    A perfect addition to any LGBTQ+ festival.

  • Asher Wyndham: 10 Reasons Why Hamlet is Totally Gay by Grant MacDermott
    “

    A queering of Hamlet that will appeal to Shakespearean scholars, teen students and theatregoers that love a smart comedy.
    This kind of play will make anyone rethink Hamlet's sexual orientation.
    It will remind teachers to be open to their students' unorthodox perspectives and interpretations, even when what they say is not PC.
    If you're producing a festival of plays inspired by Shakespeare's plays, consider this play.
