THANK YOU, Black Font! This play with it's quick back and forth lines is communication at its simplest form, and like Black Font, every human wants more. The humor CHRISTOPHER PLUMRIDGE brings to this short dialogue is priceless. The pacing - just right.

As a playwright, I sure hope that ADAM RICHTER's prediction on where AI CHAT will go in the future, based on past examples, is true.

To scare us even more, here's the first paragraph of a review I asked CHAT GPT to write for this play:

"The play "Machine Learning" is a thought-provoking exploration of the impact of technology on education. Set in a university setting, the play raises important questions about the ethical and moral implications of using chat bots to write academic papers."

So....there's that.

Finally... a MLM scheme for words... not just any words... words that kill... or at least aid in the process. This sadly hilarious satirical short comedy is full of sharp witted and fast-paced dialogue, laugh out loud moments, and apathy... so much apathy. FANTASTIC!

A hard reality hits one male gamer when the world he played within, and the people he played with, look different from another angle. The proverbial, "walk a mile in my shoes" narrative comes to life in this thoughtful and all too real monologue by SAM HEYMAN.

My mom always said, "Two can be friends.... three cannot." That thought kept racing through may head while experiencing JAXSON MACKLING's sweet and complicated short play about friendship, past traumas, and new beginnings. Youth is a confusing time... situations like these make it more confusing.

Truly a nightmare. One woman's penance for a choice that was not easy... not easy at all. LEE R. LAWING has given a voice to the internal fears and external realities that face many women in the USA. No one should have to perform this... everyone should have to perform this.

Nothing can replace the passion of a playwright, writer, or journalist, but Creative Tech Industries has found a way to corner the market on their output without all the whining about payment. RACHEL FEENY-WILLIAMS has turned a dark light on the future of the arts with her keen eye on the need for humans… no matter what.

I adore puns… and a pun play? Golden. Make yourself smile and take the single minute to experience SAM HEYMAN’s adorable short play. It will amooooooose you… sorry… had to do it.

I’m with Rico. Why do the creatures always have to die? LEE R. LAWING has written a touching plea for the underdog in this thoughtful, short monologue. The costuming alone would be priceless. The dialogue is a beautiful bonus. The ending? Pure fate.

A mystery with a cast full of suspects. Beautiful movements when words cannot be spoken. A tender connection with someone who can help. This circus inspired short piece by RACHEL FEENY-WILLIAMS is a beautifully painted 10 minutes. A choreographer and lighting designer would have a field day bringing this engaging piece to life on stage.
