The way this hilarious and manic monologue builds is MASTERFUL. ROLLO certainly buries the lead when asking for help. ADAM RICHTER has created a monologue that delight any performer. The pacing is genius.

HILARIOUS! I love a good twist on a genre, and this short and delightful short play by JOE SWENSON nails it! Morgan is going to need a big vacation after this film wraps. Wonderful an natural dialogue - kitschy lines when filming - no wonder it was a winner at the Crowbait Theatre Deathmatch!

An anthem to the passionate, this hilarious and stylized short play by JOHN PATRICK BRAY is screaming for BATMAN FOREVER fans to rise up and get what is rightfully theirs. Has anyone ever performed a piece like this at ComicCon? Maybe it's time...

Not only is the hilarious and troubling short play needed, it contains the best Mother Nature monologue ever written! GO, SISTER! This short work by RACHEL FEENY-WILLIAMS is FANTASTIC! It should be required reading in all high schools... purposeful language included.

Every human experiences THE WEIGHT in various increments through out their lives. Some loads are just too heavy. MOLLY CANU creates a narrative about one lifter who approaches the task as if training for the next big event. What a beautiful and tragic approach. A powerful piece for a seasoned actress.

The old phrase is that one never knows what goes on behind closed doors... and in this case. Here, one never knows what goes on behind a photo. In a social media world where we assume everything has a cheery backstory if we just dig deep enough, D. LEE MILLER reminds us that sometimes there is darkness that no ones wants exposed.

WHAT A BEAUTIFUL TRIP... mushroom induced or not. I will never hear the term tree hugger again and not think of this touching and magical short play by EVAN BAUGHFMAN. How wonderful it made the 2023 edition of Smith & Kraus' BEST TEN-MINUTE PLAYS. Well deserved.

META HEAVEN...or hell....depending where these deceased end up. What fun it would be to be a character in a JOHN BUSSER short play. The humor - the back and forth - the drama.... ABSOLUTE PERFECTION. I volunteer to play Others No. 3.

I consider myself a true crime junkie, but the case of Ruth Ellis was a new one for me... as I live across the pond. I found not only the original case to be fascinating, but RACHEL FEENY-WILLIAMS' detailed knowledge and handling of various legal perspectives through a modern lens to be OUTSTANDING. I would love to see this staged and hear audiences debate their thoughts. WONDERFUL.

STUNNINGLY simple and poignant. This love letter to Japanese NOH drama is perfection in its few words and powerful feelings. JUST LOVELY.
