  • The Unkissed by Matthew Weaver
    20 Jan. 2023
    “ Another fine piece from Matthew Weaver! What I really loved about this piece was that I wasn't sure where exactly it was going to go. Comedy? Tragedy? Would it go in the obvious direction? Would it instead go in the not-so-obvious direction?

    As a 50-year-old single man, I can relate to some of Zachary's thought process here (but to be clear, I had my first kiss a long time ago, and there have been plenty in the years since!) Perhaps *I* have been in search of a perfection that is unattainable, too?

    I get you, Zachary. ”
  • Flies at the Nativity by Matthew Weaver
    24 Dec. 2022
    “ Have you ever started reading a play with a really unique plot and think to yourself, "Darn, I wished I'd thought of this!" That's how I felt reading this piece from Matthew Weaver.

    Sure, we've seen other short plays about the viewpoint of other animals there to witness the birth of Jesus, but it never dawned on me to consider the viewpoint of a common housefly!

    This play was a great delicacy to consume, though perhaps a different delicacy than we read about in Weaver's play. ;-) ”
  • The Crown versus Santa Claus by Christopher Plumridge
    23 Dec. 2022
    “ What fun! This is like a holiday version of a Monty Python sketch combined with a Saturday Night Live sketch with a healthy dose of Airplane-esque humor. I thoroughly enjoyed this! ”
  • Any Port in a Storm by Aly Kantor
    23 Dec. 2022
    “ I really enjoyed reading this -- so clever, witty, and fun! These two were a perfect recipe for this unexpected interaction! ”
  • Sweet Sweet Christmas (a monologue) by Scott Sickles
    23 Dec. 2022
    “ As an overweight sugar addict, my worst fear would be a diabetes diagnosis. Lindsay's ramblings in this monologue convey exactly what I think would be going through in my head in the same situation.

    As is often the case with Sickles' writing, word choices and terseness are at the forefront, which makes this monologue work perfectly.

    This is a great option for an audition (with permission, of course) -- I look forward to that opportunity! ”
  • Wheel of Fortune Reversed by Scott Sickles
    22 Dec. 2022
    “ Wow.

    Scott Sickles has done it again! What a beautifully poignant take on one person's final moments with the iconic bringer of death.

    And the ending? Perfection. PERFECTION, I say!

    May we all slip away so peacefully and beautifully one day. Though if you're reading this, Death, I'm nowhere near ready for our chess match. ”
  • Just as Sweet by Hannah Lee DeFrates
    17 Dec. 2022
    “ A very cheeky interaction at the Arbor Cafe between a barista and one of the regular customers. I love the playful jabs that these two throw at each other. Ultimately, I think most of us have been in Alex's shoes -- I know I have. This one will make you smile. ”
  • Y & Z by Christopher Plumridge
    15 Dec. 2022
    “ A great short suspense play from Christopher! I FELT the tension just reading it. I've been performing some radio pieces lately, and this one would play very nicely in that format. Well done!! ”
  • Justin Thyme III by Joe Swenson
    7 Nov. 2022
    “ I'm a big fan of the Justin Thyme series, and this "episode" did not disappoint! Wordplay can be tricky, but Joe has done a great job of making it fun and entertaining without it sounding too much like "Who's on First?" Throwing Siri into the mix really upped the game for this one -- I hope she makes a return in future episodes!

    If you're thinking about your friend Anita Smile, then just read this play. :-) ”
  • This is Not a Touch Exhibit (a monologue) by Scott Sickles
    19 Oct. 2022
    “ What a sweet monologue from an amazing playwright!

    Poor Ollie is so relatable in a lot of ways that it's hard not to draw parallels with my own life experiences trying to find a woman to fall in love with. Ollie and I have both had our fill of deep-dish pizza in our respective lives.

    This would be a fun piece to use for an audition (with permission, of course!) ”
