11/04/2025 - What a creative and engaging horror comedy! John Busser has taken the all too familiar tale of "The Exorcist" and turned it completely on its head especially with the line, "your mother sows socks that sell." Funny, engaging, and creepy all at once, this would make for an excellent night of thrills and laughs at any ten-minute play festival!

11/4/2025 - Just heard this piece read (and read the part of Parker) in a Zoom reading. The dialogue is hilarious and full of wit, the setup and payoff is great throughout, and I love the spoofs regarding witches, mummies, and teen angst. This would be PERFECT for high school and colleges students especially around Halloween. A great horror comedy classic. Well done!

11/01/2025 - Excellent monologue! I love a play with a good twist and this one man show delivers. Compelling from beginning to end and a "good story" in every sense of the word. Bravo!

10/27/2025 - Had the pleasure of hearing this performed from the playwright himself. John Busser has such a knack for dialect, monologues, and storytelling in general. The three come together so perfectly here. A joy to read and watch from beginning to end. Fantastic job!

10/27/2025 - Throughout the course of ten minutes, I found my allegiance switching about a half dozen times. The dialogue is witty, the arguments compelling, and the banter between the two characters is hilarious. What's even better is the way in which it ends. A complete shocker that had me smiling. This will delight any audience especially around Halloween. Well done!

10/27/2025 - What begins as a family gathering filled with humor, name mix-ups, and playful insults quickly takes a turn into supernatural horror. The premise feels so real which makes the horror and all its associated twists all the more fun. A great and original take on the werewolf story!

10/27/2025 - As someone who has shown the classic hitchhiker episode of the Twilight Zone to my creative writing classes, I was instantly hooked by this piece. John Patrick Bray does such a great job here asking the audience "what is real? what is fake? Is all of this happening? Is none of this happening?" Regardless of your interpretation, you are in for one wild and fun ride at the theatre. Great from beginning to end. Well done!

10/27/2025 - Love everything about this short play. The hilarious awkward date dialogue between the two leads and the way the urban legend slowly creeps its way into the story. Fun to read and even more fun to see performed. The ending had me smiling from ear to ear. Perfect for a night of great horror comedy!

10/27/2025 - I love stories with creepy killer dolls. From Talking Tina in the Twilight Zone to Chucky in Child's Play. Alice in Debra A. Cole's piece is no exception. I love everything from the premise, to the relationship between the two girls, to the unsettling feeling that something isn't quite right. A fun piece of horror from beginning to end. Excellent!

10/27/2025 - A gripping short piece where we get the sense throughout that things may not be what they seem. The narrator isn't all that reliable which makes the ending all that more shocking when the truth is revealed. This would be a dream role for any actor to play. Horror at its finest!
