    This is a fun little two-hander about two astronauts stranded in space on separate missions. Some disaster has befallen the Earth below and the two wonder if they will ever get home...and will they ever meet? Give this one a read.

    A shot play that says quite a lot. Jacki and Lauren grew up as best friends who then became more than friends. But now Jacki feels the need to move on. And that's not the only elephant in the room! Read this one!

    Michael C O'Day has written a short play that has a great deal going on. It's the 1980s and three actors are auditioning for a role in a third-rate sci-fi flick. One of the actors has really done his homework, but... Well, no spoilers! See for yourself! Throw in a little political commentary and a few predictions about what our future may hold and this little script packs quite a wallop.

    We start with a husband and a wife. We add an elephant in the room with them. But is it a literal elephant or a figurative one? Ah, that is the question! This is a fun little play by Ava Love Hanna. Give it a read!

    Claire Detloff has written what would be a fun piece for two actors. Set in the lounge of a college dorm, two college students come inside to escape the rain. They talk, but their conversation is much more about what they're not saying than about what they are saying and we are left wondering what will happen next. Give this one a read.

  • Rand Higbee: Erstwhile by Paul Braverman
    “

    Paul Braverman captures a lot of emotions in this short one-man play. A man is mourning his brother, Ed, who he lost to suicide. Ed was a brother he both loved and hated. Was the death inevitable or could he have done something to prevent it? 32 years later and he still wonders. A powerfully written piece. Bravo to Braverman!

  • Rand Higbee: Victor the Terrible Cat by Beth Harpaz
    “

    A married couple lament the recent passing of their cat Victor. Well...at least the husband does. The wife doesn't lament it too much. Victor wasn't exactly a cuddly ball of fur. But there's an old saying that cats have nine lives so... A fun, short play from Beth Harpaz.

  • Rand Higbee: Mini Marshmallows by Lauren Rotante
    “

    Lauren Rotante has written a simple little play that says a great deal. Delaney has broken up with her fiancé and now tries to explain this to her ex's little brother. It's a reminder of an aspect of love which I don't often see portrayed: Breaking up with someone means breaking up with their entire family...even their sweet little brother. This short play is well worth a read.

  • Rand Higbee: I'm Looking For Cher by Benjamin Connor
    “

    This is a fun ten-minuter by Benjamin Connor. A young man, working as a political telemarketer, accidentally calls up Cher. Against all odds, the two make a connection. But is he really who he says he is? And is she really who she says she is?
