Get out that yard-stick ruler and show them what's what! Great stuff. Wyndham makes mincemeat out of the hypocrisy that infests itself deeply in our society. Wonderful narrative arc. I caught the Back Porch Theater reading by Miranda Jonte. Good stuff.

Latham's YELLA JACK is full of endless staging possibilities, from costume to sound design. Wonderfully theatrical. Superbly poetic monologues intertwined with fast paced refined and raw dialogues. Well done!

A mother who normally likes to stand out is grateful her children do not. This monologue is aching with self doubt and self-inflicted invalidation. Any decent minded person who acknowledges their privilege in "the genetic milkshake that made them" will relate. This is a voice that needs to speak out and validate their fears and feelings. Bublitz captures the weight of the hatred in the world and pleads for all decent minded humanity to take a stand. Bravo. Be sure to watch the June 24 Back Porch Theater reading by Miranda Jonte. Super!

A super voice. We're sitting right beside her; we're the friend she asks not to interrupt as she speaks and then she goes on to interrupt herself, distract herself until she faces herself. Well done!

"Gird your loins, boys!" From the title to Tim's offstage encounter with the Gorgon, I could not stop laughing. Bravo!! The Busser grabs hold of you and doesn't let go. Super fun!

Wow. Lockhart masterfully captures a fictional film commentary that goes very wrong. It's not always easy to watch "the dailies" of our lives; facing truth is painful. So much comes bubbling to the surface in this tense ten minutes as the time code (a perfect metaphor) ticks along. Two super roles for older actors. Bravo! Catch a superb reading: https:///www.youtube.com/watch?v=_dC8IP1MxrQ

A great little short piece. Easy to stage. So much fun how we all miss the obvious at times. Definitely a farcical game worth watching!

Whenever you want to smack the main character at the end of a play, you know it's a good piece of theatre. Plenty of staging possibilities here. I could see the additional female characters doubling as men doing the harassing, massaging, touching etc Well done.

Love this. Short but definitely not sweet except in the aftertaste of revenge. I caught Miranda Jonte's June 22 "Back Porch Theatre" reading; she captured Mabey's subtext perfectly. Super writing. A few brush strokes and voila! Love the human being Mabey has created, someone whose quiet life and love are sneered at by an adult bully but they get their cake and they make their bully eat it too.

If Billy Joel's "We Didn't Start the Fire" were a monologue! LeBlanc captures an intense march through time. A nuclear flash of insight for all generations; a wild ride for performer and audience alike and a satisfying ending. What more do you want? Nothing (I'm a Gen Xer!)
