A dark, dark, dark comic monologue about a woman who makes her way through an evening of killing with a pair of murderous dentures and a menu of so-so programming on Hulu. What a wonderful piece for any actress to sink her teeth into.

As cracked as the glass slipper he finds, this prince is a hilarious turn on the fairy tale version we never really know. My favorite line of this one minute gem is when he laments that after talking to the charming woman at the ball about sports, he never asked her name. How typical. And how perfect coming from Jacquie Floyd-Priskorn, a woman whose writing will ensure you don't ever forget hers.

I got exactly what I wanted out of this scathingly funny piece by Bob LeBlanc. A wonderful look at the bonds of marriage through the eyes of two serial adulterers, this piece builds on each indiscretion is funnier and funnier ways. I would love to see this staged with two actors playing off each other in that sort of screwball comedy style that showcases the excellent timing Bob built into this script.

Behind all good comedy is a little unpleasant truth sprinkled on top like sugar on the Toasty Flakes cereal William sometimes gets to eat if his wife hasn't finished off the box. William and Teddy have a heart-to-heart about Teddy wanting to marry William's daughter. It takes some interesting twists and turns before the end and therein lies the charm of this piece. A somewhat darker wisdom and experience may pepper William's words, but Ted's willingness to leap into marriage for love balances the scales and shows both sides have a valid and oh-so-human point. Poignant and satisfying.

Almost a screwball comedy itself, Copycat lives up to its name with art imitating life and life becoming art as the characters fashion their own comic plot line. I wanted to see this play expanded with ACT 2 having them scheme against each other after the events of ACT 1. It's obvious Bruce Karp has no problem coming up with fun, engaging ideas for his plays.

An absolutely riveting ten minutes while emotions and memories whiz by. In desperate times, people play the denial game, as Monty does here with a possible heart attack. As his wife pleads with him to go to the hospital, Monty resists. I was on the edge of my seat as I read this. I wonder how the audience would be watching a production. I'll bet they'd be the same. Just terrific stuff.

What a fun way to learn about Jewish vampires. Divid Lipschutz has put together a scary yet somewhat fun thrill ride of a radio play here. And honestly, isn't that the best way to watch (or in this case, listen to) a scary movie? Be thrilled and laugh at the same time? Would love to hear this with all the sounds and music added in.

The greatest protection racket in all of history unfolds in 10 minutes with this hilarious look at adoption and the scary world of parenthood. Jerry Polner may have found a form of birth control (or at least adoption control) that is 100% effective. I laughed throughout.

Makes you want to laugh, wince and say "Ahhhhh" all at the same time. A one minute gem.

As car rides go, this is a lot more interesting than the average one tank trip. There's a building of (not-so-high-stakes) suspense over what will pass first, a rest stop or Darla's bladder. A fun ride to take with interesting characters.
