The setting alone is terrifying - a frat house bathroom during a party! Then bringing to life the infamous Bloody Mary herself! The real joy is found in the humor and feel-good relationships between Bloody Mary and her "followers." A very enjoyable short that would be a blast to see performed.

This is a cute little family comedy taking place during a seemingly normal dinner - until a visitor arrives and the conversation becomes tinged with hysterical darkness. Creepy fun with a double twist you won't see coming. This also serves as a reminder to check your spare and always charge your phone. Well done!

"Good thing you all don’t have a computer network to do that with or you could REALLY be dangerous" perfectly frames the period and made me chuckle out loud! All the tropes neatly aligned, but oh boy - the twist at the end that you won't see! Familiar yet surprising, creepy but fun, Alles has crafted a winning short with The Blank Mask.

Ooh - I love this! A quick send-up done effectively with humor and rising tension. Had me all the way to the end. Radtke has created something unique with TROPED TO DEATH. This deserves to be staged!

HALF is a WHOLE lot of fun! Humorous and creepy - reminds me a bit of Beetlejuice - Busser gives us a glimpse of divorce negotiations when the combatants have access to denizens of the occult. Poor judge. Would love to see this staged!

"Beautiful like the moon." Such a deeply moving and wonderful compliment! Such terror!! "Here's The Thing" is a horror short that has it all - familiar but creepy setting, potential love match, undefinable monster, ratcheting tension - and it's a lot of fun! Would love to see this staged.

This play would be funny if it wasn't so true-to-life. Well, actually it is pretty funny, too. I saw this staged recently was glad I did - along with the audience laughing along with me. So much fun and so well done!

This short by Dana Hall is so much fun! I had the pleasure of seeing this at a festival and the precision with which Ms. Hall eviscerates the psychological musings of Sigmund Freud is delightful! Do yourself a favor and read this. Or better yet - if you are able - produce it. Great stuff.

Compelling story of a family struggling with addiction. So much is said in this short - even with the silences between. The holidays are difficult as is - without considering the specter of a loved one's struggles. Dana Hall has crafted an extraordinary look at a path through the guilt and uncertainty for one family, at least. Seen at a festival, this play will be remembered. A ten-minute gem.

I saw this at a festival and couldn't stop laughing. Very relatable and interesting. The visuals were terrific. But thankfully, the situational humor didn't overwhelm the story - which is a compelling and sweet story of acceptance (on multiple levels). Very well done.
