What a tender and beautiful moment between two brothers after the death of their mother. So lovely the memories one photo can illicit. This short piece would be a wonderful piece for two actors to sink their teeth into.

What a wonderfully dark and entertaining short piece about love, loss, betrayal, and new beginnings. SAPIO brings both characters fully to life in a very short amount of time. The connections he establishes between diamonds and humans are flawless.

Watch out for Harry Potter girls... we are clever, driven, and honest. Friendships between girls can be complicated, and this pair is ripe for conflict. A wonderful piece for two young actresses.

REX MCGREGOR is a master of bringing animals and other life forms to life and giving audiences a quick look into their private lives and thoughts. For these specific cows, maybe not knowing the realities of daily life was better than their newly found truths. A wonderful piece for actors to explore.

Weapons... fingers or not... take escalating situations from bad to worse in seconds. This riveting short piece takes racial tension, racism, and violence and asks the audience to examine their own views under pressure. And...where is that baby?????

Such poetry and beauty awaits an actor who chooses this monologue. LERMOND’s use of language is breathtaking.

A lovely laugh out loud piece! Interviews, gerunds, and balls....a great piece for two actors.

Ewwww.....While I am pretty open to new culinary creations, this ice cream inventor may be more than I can handle. This disgusting and entertaining short pay will have audiences questioning their bravery with new flavors.

What a beautiful and touching piece between two strangers. RACHEL FEENY-WILLIAMS always finds the humanity in characters as they make their way through difficult moments.

I am so glad someone wrote something so perfect for a festival that seams to go against everything theatre represents. BRAVO!
