  • My Thoughts And Prayers by Everett Robert
    15 Sep. 2018
    “ I saw this play performed in Minneapolis at Safety Off, a gun control theatre production. It worked powerfully as a final play, chronicalling the history of gun violence on campuses, workplaces and places of worship, while the statistics weighed on your heart. It's a necessary play for your production on gun control and activism. This is the kind of play that can do more than make people react, it could make them act -- get out and vote, protest, or write to their politicians and be a part of the movement. ”
  • I Won't Take a Bullet for My Students by Emily Hageman
    13 Sep. 2018
    “ An essential narrative/perspective for Gun Control Theatre. Because it comes from a teacher and someone who understands that the epidemic of gun violence and school shootings speaks to a diseased, toxic, flawed concept of American masculinity. Hageman's compassion and deep understanding for young men, their emotional and educational development and how they express maleness, is evident here and in some other works. Highly recommend for gun control festivals. ”
  • SH*T TRAIN by Rachael Carnes
    10 Sep. 2018
    “ This sh*t train goes up hill! When you think it can't get any zanzier, it does, thanks to Carnes' bonkers-style comedy. This is a perfect satire on the ridiculousness and inconsistency of Trust-building and Standard of Work in the workplace, on the awkwardness of communication between newbie and supervisor. Just need two chairs and a desk, maybe just the bare stage. Highly recommended for comedy showcases across the globe! This universal comedy will appeal to people of different cities, countries and cultures. Produce it! Rachael: more office/work plays, please! ”
  • Moving Day by Emily Hageman
    2 Sep. 2018
    “ Can a one-minute play be a tearjerker? The answer may be yes if you produce Hageman's Moving Day. This universal playlet has a lightness - of text and space and movement - that will create a heaviness on any audience member's heart. Just perfect, beautiful. ”
  • Arsinoë’s Fate - a monologue by Bryan Stubbles
    2 Sep. 2018
    “ Young women from high school and college should take a break from contemporary monologues, and read Stubbles' monologue ARSINOE'S FATE. Did you know Cleopatra had a sister? I didn't know. Arsinoe's steeliness commands attention immediately. Consider this monologue for competition. I would love to see this character in a longer work. ”
  • The Lesson (a monologue) by Jean Koppen
    1 Sep. 2018
    “ This character with an English accent would be an incredible, fun challenge for an actress to embody. The emotional development of this character in a few pages is impressive: at the start she's stern, admonishing her students that reminds us of our worst teachers that we want to forget and then by the end she's a wreck and it breaks your heart. Speaks to the wounded creature inside many of us. Highly recommend for a solo festival. ”
  • Fairy Noodle at the Ferry Noodle House (a Monologue) by Lee R. Lawing
    1 Sep. 2018
    “ This noodle --yes, the character is a noodle -- will appeal to the superhero in all of us, that voice that speaks of a greater desire to save people and the world, to combat evil and destruction, to fight against injustice. Plenty of laughs for an audience. A costume designer would have a fun time designing a noodle costume. A perfect addition to a solo festival. I think a young performer would enjoy bringing this hero to the stage. ”
  • The Tragedie of Rockford and Almira and the Cat - a Comedie by Matthew Weaver
    30 Aug. 2018
    “ This comedy is like a mashup of Tom & Jerry and Elizabethean theatre. One of Weaver's wackiest plays, and one of his most stylized plays. This would be a funtastic play for young high schoolers and adult actors that perform for children. I wouldn't be surprised if this play garners Best of Showcase awards and multiple productions in the U.S. and abroad. ”
  • Monologue for a Woman by Greg Hovanesian
    28 Aug. 2018
    “ This monologues offers readers and actors multiple interpretations. For an auditioning actor or a student new to acting, this presents avenues for exploration of motivation and situation. ”
  • Eternal Caress by Lee R. Lawing
    26 Aug. 2018
    “ Figuring out what happened before the play and learning what actually happened -- all of it told with a Poe-poetic creepiness -- gets under your skin. It's the language of memory, the narration that creates the horror, it's not blood and guts or zombie attacks - you don't need any of that for some sick fun at the theatre. There are many fine examples of description (the wind in the house, the meal) and insights about evil. Highly recommend this play for Halloween shows! ”
