  • Asher Wyndham: The Skunk (a one-minute play)

    The physicality, the use of the playing space, and the words directed at unseen children by the teacher makes this one-minute play a powerful one.

    This play will hit you really hard and you will not forget it.

    If only there were lockdown drills for skunks.

    Definitely consider this remarkable one-minute play for your festival on gun violence.

  • Asher Wyndham: Geologic Clock

    Stunning. Capturing Earth's history from its beginning to the present -- human history in one-minute! - and asking an important question for us to answer. This really makes you think. And it's a one-minute play! If I was producing a one-minute play festival, I'd choose this one.

  • Asher Wyndham: All The World Loves A Clown

    Times change, what was once a joy is now considered objectionable or harmful or scary or creepy, what was once considered a perfect entertainment for kids is considered unacceptable now. Anything lost when a tradition dies? These two characters, both birthday party entertainers, a clown and princess, find the courage together to bring that special something back, that joy of a birthday party tradition, even if it means it's just for one child. I can see this short play being a hit at short play festivals across this country.

  • Asher Wyndham: Old Friends

    This short monologue would a smart choice for a teen auditioning. Probably every teen goes through this - fallout with a friend - a friend who starts dating and starts neglecting their friend -- so that's why this is a perfect choice for a teen actor.

  • Asher Wyndham: Pin the Tail (a one-minute play)

    Weaver has some of the most charming, sweetest, joyous plays on NPX and this short one is a fine example. These one-minute plays would make great scene studies for first time directors and actors in high school or college.

  • Asher Wyndham: BBQ (a one-minute play)

    Another one-minute play with ending that hits you. An ordinary action - preparing hamburgers - takes on special significance for two brothers. This is a smart choice for a first-time student director for scene work and, again, another great addition to a growing collection of one-minute plays. Wow.

  • Asher Wyndham: Yellow Cardinal (a one-minute play)

    The ending is totally unexpected. It's this kind of ending, an illumination on behavior and conflicting desires, that is like one in a million. I look forward to read a million of these one minute plays. I would love to be front row at a theatre producing Weaver's one minute plays. Read them and you'll agree.

  • Asher Wyndham: Momma

    This play rises to a fever-pitch. His writing, the same with Storm Clouds for Lonely Hearts, casts a spell on me. Floating wildflowers, violent lighting (red, magenta), dancing by an entity known
    as Girl -- that and more create an evocative world that was both mystical and nightmarish -- and creepy AF.
    Understanding the characters' conflicting desires, knowing they'll meet, intrigued me to the end.
    If you're a stage designer that loves magical realism -- read this.
    A director may want to collaborate with a dance choreographer.
    Designers -- read this play -- a great challenge.

  • Asher Wyndham: Life & Death & PB&J

    Fun for kids or adults. Weaver never disappoints - blessing us with yet another one-of-a-kind play. A giggle-inducing play from a playwright that should be one of your favorites. A fun challenge for a costume designer.

  • Asher Wyndham: Final Approval

    Just a perfect one-minute - witty, hilarious from start to finish. I'd love to see my love ones after I die having a similar situation.
