  • A Playwright Asks... "What If?" PART ONE

    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!

    SO MUCH is said in this fast paced one minute play by MICHAEL NORMANDY! Relationships change overtime, and this relationship between husband and wife has much more change ahead of it. A playful look at mental health and sex... as we age.

    Touching and playful, this father/son two hander is lovely. Never has a short play inspired me more to enjoy the childlike deliciousness of Taco Bell. Adorable.

    I was hoping someone would pick Romeo and Juliet for the 28 Plays Later Day #7 "change the script" challenge, AND CHRISTOPHER SOUCY DID NOT DISAPPOINT! - sorry for yelling. This retelling of the Shakespeare classic is just what you want it to be. BRILLIANT! A MUST READ and PERFORM. Oops... I'm yelling again.

    This powerful moment between husband and wife is in capable hands with JEAN CIAMPI. As the tension quickly builds, the audience is led to a private moment of clarity and unity. LOVELY.
