D. LEE MILLER has written a real cautionary tale for seniors... or ANYONE! Sadly, I have a friend this happened to, and I wish she had read MILLER's piece before she sent one single cent. THE BILL is authentic and tragic, and MILLER truly understands how to write dialogue for real characters with real joy and real traumas.

ABUSE OF POWER is in full swing in LOU JONES' short play NOT ON MY PORCH. I worry we'll see more and more of this during these dark times, and JONES has certainly tapped into the Zeitgeist.

HILARIOUS! As a retired teacher myself, I am well aware of way to supplement the meager income of teaching, and Fred has inspired me to explore even more options. 37 Origami Bees... that's a LOT of bees... Priceless, PHILIP MIDDLETON WILLIAMS... just priceless.

This satirical farce, written by JARRED CORONA, suddenly feels very possible these days. CORONA hits all the notes audiences want in this dystopian soap opera we are experiencing. BONKERS.

THIS HIGH SCHOOL IS DOOMED... absolutely doomed. I wonder who will rise up and do something about this awful new Student Council president? Who will fight the injustice to the campus? Who will call out the corruption? Who will fight for those in the cafeteria that can't fight for themselves? BRETN ALLES gives young audiences a great deal to consider.

Oh, Satire... you are a wicked, wicked friend.

We need more people like Jerry in this world. D. LEE MILLER has taken a very current topic and given it beautiful framing. This monologue is written for so much more than standing on a stage. A seasoned actor will give this stunning piece the life it deserves and will move audiences to action.

What a powerful monologue CHRISTOPHER SOUCY has bought to life. I can see a weathered and battle-worn actor on stage or in an audition giving all he has to this thoughtful piece about braving and never giving up.

First steps are really scary. First steps toward real growth and human improvement can be even scarier than most. JULIE BRANDON has written 60 seconds of bravery that begins by just opening the door. BEAUTIFUL.

Absolutely ridiculous and I LOVE IT! BRENT ALLES has written highly physically comedic short play that actors will LOVE bringing to life. What joy this was to read and imagine what it will be like on stage.

THIS is the real stuff of parenthood - the things they don't explain in the parenting books. ANJ MARIE RIFFEL gives us a look into the world of one brave mother and ultimately, hopefully a much braver son. This poignant short play has all the feels - frustration, fear, anger, and... ultimately hope. THIS is real life.
