  • The Adventures of Uta, the Wandering Uterus by Tom Moran
    8 Jul. 2024
    “ This was one of my favorite plays at the 2024 Valdez Theatre Conference. Tom Moran has taken what at first seems like a really silly premise, but then turned it into a play with lots of laughs and lots to think about. You will never look at your internal organs the same way again! ”
  • A Bevin Boy's Progress by Alice Josephs
    22 May. 2024
    “ In a quick ten minutes, Alice Josephs manages to tell you about a part of World War II you likely never knew before. And she does so in a highly engaging and very theatrical style. I am now curious to learn more about Bevin Boys and to read more plays by Josephs. ”
  • Birds of Paradise by Philip Middleton Williams
    26 Apr. 2024
    “ When you look at the cast list and see that one of the characters is a mockingbird named Tequila, you know you're in for a fun ride. But my favorite character is Pete who brought a big smile to my face as he enters the scene and tells his sad story. A fun piece of whimsy by Philip Middleton Williams. ”
  • Just An Old-Fashioned Love Song by Philip Middleton Williams
    20 Apr. 2024
    “ This is not your typical talking furniture play. A clock, a piano and a love seat may be three unlikely characters, but they come together in "Just an Old-Fashioned Love Song" to show us the passage of time. Mr. Williams has written a short, nostalgic piece to remind us that while the good old days may be gone there is still hope that good times may eventually return. ”
  • I Say Running Is Like Breathing by Chelsea Sutton
    2 Mar. 2024
    “ A 30-something woman has decided to run from California to North Carolina...but she's not quite sure which path to take. Or why she's doing it. Along her journey she encounters an odd variety of people along her route who offer her an odd variety of advice. Chelsee Sutton's play has a unique style to it that would make it a fun watch on stage. This is my first encounter with one of her plays and I need to encounter more. ”
  • Hit and Match by Michael Hagins
    28 Feb. 2024
    “ Have you ever wondered how a hitman...er, shooter...finds love in this world? Michael Hagins has written "Hit and Match" to answer that very question. I was smiling the entire time I was reading this play and had a few genuine laugh out loud moments as well. This is my first encounter with a play of Hagins and I look forward to reading more. ”
  • Influence by Glasgow Lyman
    28 Feb. 2024
    “ Have you ever been performing some mundane task then started wishing you had a crowd of fans watching and cheering you on? That's the premise behind this funny little short. Silly...but actually not so silly considering that we live in an age of social media and live streaming. This would be a lot of fun to stage and to watch. This is my first encounter with a play by Glasgow Lyman and I will definitely seek out more. ”
  • No Tip for William by Mike Teverbaugh
    26 Feb. 2024
    “ A funny short play about a couple dining at a restaurant and their waiter who has a rather interesting offer. There are a few little twists along the way and several LOL lines. This is my first encounter with a play by Mike Teverbaugh and I need to read more. ”
  • Meant To Be by Libby Heily
    25 Feb. 2024
    “ Two strangers meet in a park over lunch and have a very quick romance. The play at first might seem to be a bit of silliness, and it is silly, but there's an underlying point to it. This is my first encounter with a play by Libby Heily and it has made me want to read more. And I will. ”
  • Maude by Andra Hunter
    24 Feb. 2024
    “ Have you ever met a person who couldn't take a compliment and, instead, takes every positive thing said about them and twists it around to sound like insult? God knows, I have! Playwright Andra Hunter takes this idea and pushes it to the extreme at a senior's speed dating event. I like this play! I do! Don't take it as an insult! ”
