  • Eytan Deray: Pix of Your Partner's Privates by Dave Osmundsen
    “

    This laugh-a-second rom-com short is full of raunch but also surprising charm, vulnerability and intimacy. The topic of insecure body image is always timely no matter who's writing it, but Dave Osmundsen is just as willing to approach the subject unflinchingly and intelligently. A terrific piece that BEGS to be performed!

  • Eytan Deray: Only You Can Reject Jelly Beans by Dave Osmundsen
    “

    Osmundsen has written a monologue that is at once funny and then painful in its universality. I felt every bit of Otis's isolation and loneliness flying off the page, and it hurt enough that I wanted to sit with him and eat all the Jelly Beans in the world. A truly solid piece!

    A sweet, poignant LGBT high school short that makes you laugh AND tugs at your heart strings! I love stories like this, and Natalie Ann Valentine gets it right!

  • Eytan Deray: Mothboi by Noah Jennings

    As a fan of especially eerie supernatural legends like the Mothman, Noah Jennings has written a fun, humorous, and creepy homage to such a legend with care and love for the source material. Well done, sir!

  • Eytan Deray: Cold Dead Heart by Maximillian Gill
    “

    Maximillian Gill has written a new kind of romantic comedy..."Cold Dead Heart" is a humorous fantasy with (no pun intended) bite. Both The Mortal and the Vampire are exquisitely written characters with chemistry and a pulse. Any actor of any gender should be gifted with roles like these. Awesome job!

  • Eytan Deray: Tucumcari Tonite! by Philip Middleton Williams

    A nice, quirky, funny departure from Philip Middleton Williams' other pieces and a solid buddy comedy. This unlikely pair is appealing, humorous, and empathetic. And you can't stop reading.

    Sweet, humorous, lyrical, but most of all, hopeful...a lovely monologue that would be a gift to any actor to perform!

    A hilarious, biting office space satire that is at once relatable (who hasn't wanted to tell their boss off the way Addler does) and then jaw-dropping! Maximillian Gill keeps your attention with every surprise he throws at you. I dug this one!

  • Eytan Deray: Viral Love by Philip Middleton Williams
    “

    Philip Middleton Williams has written a piece that, though brief, is sweet, timely, and romantic. COVID-19 and "social distancing" can make it difficult when two people are virtually dating, and this play raises some good questions about the subject. Well done!
