  • The Three Es by Jason Aaron Goldberg
    15 Aug. 2018
    “ One of the best Iraq War plays I've read. From the startling first page to the heartbreaking conclusion, THE THREE Es is an enthralling dramedy about a military family waiting for the return of an injured serviceman. Each family member's struggle to come to terms with their new life and future responsiblities - some lose themselves with weed, alcohol, or pie - feels so authentic, perfectly paced and structured. Producers, directors should check out this play - it will be topical for a long time. It should be a hit with regional theatres! ”
  • Hyrax Kid by Matthew Weaver
    15 Aug. 2018
    “ One of the greatest pleasures in my life is reading a Matthew Weaver play. This is one play that does it for me. Joy is rare in theatre, and Weaver makes it a spectacle. ”
  • ECHOLOCATION by Rachael Carnes
    14 Aug. 2018
    “ Transcendent. Evocative. And that's rare in short works. Could be a great challenge for a media designer. ”

    “ I'd love to be front row with Dennis Cooper watching this. ”
  • SQUEEK! (copywright October 2015, MADELINE PUCCIONI) by MADELINE DALY PUCCIONI
    14 Aug. 2018
    “ I definitely want the full length. This is a brilliant comedy like something twisted from Terry Gilliam with a bit of Ionesco and the TV show Dinosaurs. It is outrageous, but it says a lot about the haves and have nots and inequality. A dream come true for designers. Connect with this playwright. ”
  • I'm Having the Worst Day by Emily Hageman
    1 Jul. 2018
    “ The character of Danielle is a dynamic role for an auditioning or competing actor - dynamic even though she's severely depressed and a few days from losing her father to cancer. What's surprising about this monologue's execution is that it's not a one-note, flatlining monologue on melancholy. It's a believable voice of youth, angry and confused. It's a genuine examination of grief, and you may agree your worst day doesn't compare to hers. I would love to read dozens of monologues written by Hageman! ”
  • Father and Son by Daniel Guyton
    1 Jul. 2018
    “ First, I shouldn't speak for God, but I think GOD WOULD LOVE THIS PLAY. He/She would give it four stars. Second... if it can't be staged on the altar stage, it could be staged in your church's other room or some other stage space -- a Monty Pythonesque Christian comedy that forces its parishioners/audience members to examine their own and humanity's behavior, selfishiness, and relationship with God, and also the purpose of prayer. This concept could've been easily a Saturday night sketch, but in the masterwork hands of Guyton it's quite the opposite. ”
  • TROPICAL HEAT by Rich Orloff
    1 Jul. 2018
    “ If you love madcap comedy and sex farces, if you want to see something screwy like a John Waters film, something bonkers like Charles Ludlam, if you're not a prude, then park your butt in Paradise in Orloff's play. Read it, produce it, your community needs some entertainment from this master comedy playwright. ”
  • Emily Dickinson Talks to God, Now (A Monologue) by Lee R. Lawing
    1 Jul. 2018
    “ Wow. Beautiful. The richness of spirit this playwright's lines summon, even if the topics are mourning and life after the loss of a lived one, is impressive. There's a Dickinson-like intensity to this monologue, a world building of the past in the smallest details that was breathtaking. The part about the woman seeing Emily in candlelight was...wow. If you're producing a showcase of historical monologues or just monologues on women, pick this. I want to read more monologues by this playwright! ”
  • Aisle Eight. On the Other Side. by Gracie Gardner
    30 Jun. 2018
    “ Although the behavior and responses are the stuff of ridiculous comedy, the unfortunate situation -- a grocery guy pouring out expried milk -- is all too common. Will this play, when produced, encourage audience members to persuade grocery stores to change their tune and donate their milk and food to shelters? Probably not, there's too much in the way, as the play informs us. But it may remind us to not toss away unconsumed food or drink, and give it to the poor. Or maybe make us laugh, especially at the end-- a chorus of milk containers singing! ”
