  • Dan Taube: BUTTER FINGERS, a one minute play for radio

    What a vicious little play! It terrified me in the best possible way. A great premise expertly executed.

  • Dan Taube: THE BOSS IS OUT

    Dramatization of a very complicated situation. Very realistic and very relevant. A drama about the consequences of workplace harassment. Characters are believable and sympathetic. A well told story. Highly recommended!

  • Dan Taube: All the Light-Hearted Souls

    Very deep play. Philosophical, humorous and inventive. You are drawn into the characters conversation and theories of the afterlife - which are extremely engaging. Also has a lot to say about a life well-lived…or not. We all have choices to make and this play emphasizes the importance of those choices!

  • Dan Taube: Status Update

    So much to think about in this short piece. Mother and son, obviously at odds with each other, bond over the moms sadness at losing a friend. Great relationship work went into creating these characters. Highly recommend.

  • Dan Taube: Better Than Normal

    What a lovely, quirky little play. The characters are intriguing and really draw you into their romance. True to life, since they are in the early stages of their relationship they are appropriately awkward with each other. Delightful story. Highly recommend!

  • Dan Taube: Magic of Ladie M.

    A very funny absurdist play. Great use of a Greek chorus and just very creative and unique in it’s writing and conception. Very politically oriented, but in a funny way! It’s a wonderfully hilarious re-telling of Shakespeare’s “Macbeth”. Macbeth funny? Oh yeah! In this retelling of the story, we get the pleasure of having Lady M as the protagonist. And what a protagonist she is! Wonderful feminist themes, with extremely relevant comedy. It’s a hoot and a holler!

  • Dan Taube: MAMA (3-minute play)

    Cycle of life indeed. Also, the ending brings to mind, “Cats in the Cradle”. Which is to say this is the most epic 5 minute play I’ve ever read. The sped up passing of time element is fascinating. Give it a shot, I know you’ll enjoy it!

  • Dan Taube: Tybalt

    I really enjoyed reading this play. Tybalt is a fascinating character plus the way James puts the different pieces together is very theatrical. Satisfyingly theatrical. I kinda wish he’d do a companion piece for Bernardo from West Side Story.

  • Dan Taube: One Night In September

    I loved this play. I was immediately pulled in by the great characters and polished writing. In addition to the sexual assault, which was harrowing, Dana Hall really captures what it's like to be a college student in this day and age. All of the characters had something to offer a potential audience. Would love to see this produced. Highly recommend.

  • Dan Taube: THE WAY HOME

    Just finished watching this online. It is a very powerful play about family and changes and the nature of unconditional love. The characters are very relatable and the story is moving. I hope this play gets a lot of productions!
