A thought-provoking page-turner with quite a few twists and surprises. The dialogue is so well constructed and the banter between the characters is so natural that when the twists come they are extra powerful. A well-crafted one-act that is bound to be featured in a lot of festivals. Well done!

A thought-compelling and gripping short play. Mr. Sapio takes a topic that has always fascinated the public (message in a bottle) and combines it with a current important topic (pollution). The characters have natural banter and he took the piece in a direction I wasn't expecting. A great read!

Ms. Carnes creates such a compelling narrative in just 11 pages. The characters and the entire situation feels so real that I found myself frantically turning the pages to see what happened next. The way the tension, and by extension, the suspense builds is very natural and gripping. I was hooked! Great job!

Ms. West does a wonderful job creating real, multi-dimensional characters in just ten short pages. The dialogue flows really well, the relationship between the two is gripping, and she does a great job making you smile while pulling at your heartstrings. Well done!

Cristina Luzarraga has an excellent command of dialogue. The script is very funny with a lot of setups and payoffs sprinkled throughout. It's also really interesting to see the dynamics between the two generations and how they play off each other. Well done!

Joe PRAML does a wonderful job setting the scene and crafting realistic, witty, and compelling dialogue. His ability to mix drama with comedy and reality with magical realism is very impressive. A fun and engaging script from start to finish!

As someone interested in WW2 history, I found this to be a very moving (and funny) take on such an iconic photo. The dialogue is natural, the setting is simple, and the three characters have such a natural banter and chemistry with one another. Well done!

A really unique and funny take on a serious subject. Ms. Floyd-Priskorn effectively uses the piece as a commentary on how shallow society can be. Theatre-lovers, especially actors who have ever experienced a daunting audition process, will be able to relate and digest the message at the same time. Well done!
