This thought provoking short play by MARK HARVEY LEVINE hits hard. Numbers... Countdowns.... Spoons. A poignant reminder that every... no... every minute counts. BRAVO!

Smarter than the average....play.... this short piece by JOHN BUSSER has everything: Secrets, Puns, and Acceptance... what more is there? What a perfect romantic comedy!

Oh... the word play! SAM HEYMAN takes an already bizarre opening line prompt, and creates a wacky world of good and bad, mothers and backs, and chicken... chicken that could mean life or death. What a wild ride!

Wow. I was not familiar with this story, but JENNIFER O'GRADY's retelling is both powerful and painful. The grace and confusion just under Katie's narration will chill audiences. The arrogance and child-like betrayal is front and center with the literary God the is Charles Dickens. What a stellar choice EXPECTATIONS would be for any festival or collection.

The voices inside ALL playwrights' heads play out in this raw and vulnerable short play by SAM HEYMAN. A play within a play, we not only experience the external AND internal forces at play, but we hear a moment that the playwright is processing in his writing. We all need cheerleaders... some of us need to create them ourselves. LOVELY.

I came for the A.I.... stayed for the memories and murder. RACHEL FEENY-WILLIAMS NEVER disappoints with her clever dialogue, sharply drawn characters, and a delicious ending. I am amazed at what is possible with a wacky first line as a prompt and a BRILLIANT playwright at the helm. Poor Dr. Multay...

Death seems like an okay dude under the steady hand of SCOTT SICKLES. This warm and touching play about the final moments of life is a true gift, and the part the unseen, but certainly felt , part LOVE plays is absolutely beautiful. Everyone should experience a moment so perfect.

What a perfect short play. It has everything: sun, fun, relaxation, code browns, mother-in-laws from hell, and cocktails… oh both of the women are going to need a cocktail! A hilarious addition to any short play festival.

The best kind of inspiration is the sexy kind. DONALD E. BAKER has created an playful “morning after” short play that audiences will adore. The humor is snappy, and the scenery… well… inspiring.

Actors: PLEASE perform this monologue. Perform it over and over again as many places as possible. Audiences need to hear these moments after darkness and before the light. WONDERFUL!
