  • CAROL OF CARROLL GARDENS by Bob Stewart
    10 May. 2020
    “ Bob Stewart has written a wondrous tale of twenty-first century whimsy, where in two lost souls swim in the urban shadow of the Neverland, while a chorus of three cats makes the forth wall a deliciously porous portal between the present and the hereafter. And oh boy would I like to design the set for this show! ”
  • How It's Gon' Be by JuCoby Johnson
    3 May. 2020
    “ I love dialect plays, and JuCoby Johnson has written one of the very best...an exquisite poem on the nature of all of the loves that can surround a boy growing up. This play is a favorite among all of those that I have read on NPX. Thanks, Mr' Johnson. ”
  • NELL DASH, The Gruesomely Merry Adventures Of An Irrepressibly Sensible Capitalist With A Vengeance by Doug DeVita
    2 May. 2020
    “ Nell Dash is a Victorian hoot, a wonderfully witty mash-up of Sweeny Todd, the Beggar's Opera, and the full panoply of Dickensian characters. The scene titles are The best of all. In fact I think this play would best be done as a radio piece, and I'd love to run the sound effects table. Bravo Mr DeVita. I've spent the past few days reading your work and having so much fun. ”
  • Fable by Doug DeVita
    30 Apr. 2020
    “ A haunted vaudevillian exploration of the true stories that were swiped, swirled and snipped into the musical Gypsy. Mr. DeVita is a master of style. Now I wish he'd direct his attention to Hamilton, which could equally benefit from revelations of truth.

  • An Untimely Likeness by Nancy Cooper Frank
    12 Apr. 2020
    “ Having also written a play about Vigee-leBrun (entitled Lost Portraits), I thoroughly enjoyed reading An Untimely Likeness. Nancy Cooper Frank writes with skill and charm equal to that of her principal subject. ”
  • A BUMP IN THE NIGHT ( a ten minute mystery) by Marj O'Neill-Butler
    10 Jan. 2020
    “ Marj O'Neill-Butler has written a fine ten-minute goose-bump machine. I'd love to design and light this scary little gem. ”
  • A Tree Grows in Longmont by Philip Middleton Williams
    17 Nov. 2019
    “ In thia lovely play, my friend Philip leaves the living rooms that cage so many plays and ventures out into the fine eternal poetry of the empty stage. And his final speech is a gem of theatre prose. ”
  • HOW BRENDA LANG INVENTED TIME TRAVEL WITH A MOLDY PIECE OF CHEESE by Scott Mullen
    18 May. 2019
    “ This is really funny and utterly wacky "what if?" that should top the list for all ten minute comic play fests. ”
  • All Together Now by Philip Middleton Williams
    16 May. 2019
    “ This is a play about finding, fifteen years later, fatherhood. And it's a lovely surprise for both sides of the equation. Philip Williams knows how to write warm and funny and fine and true. How to blend tears with the best of chuckles. ”
  • Every Creeping Thing by David Beardsley
    19 Apr. 2019
    “ What delicious fun this short play is, doing all that a ten minute piece should do with stylish satirical humor. And a fine punch back at today's human dinosaurs, ”
