  • We Wuz Robbed! by Mildred Inez Lewis
    30 Sep. 2020
    “ I am tempted to call this a short play about the baseball strike of 1994, but in reality the strike is merely the backdrop. More accurately, it's a play about how complete strangers can bond over a game and it asks an important question: Fans can be very devoted to their sport and their team, but what is MLB's (or the NBA's, or NFL's or NHL's) responsibility back towards those fans? ”
  • The Roommate by Dominica Plummer
    9 Sep. 2020
    “ Dominica Plummer has a wonderful way of mixing humor with her drama...or is it drama with her humor? The play, about a mysterious new roommate, explores the current Covid-19 crisis with that mixture of humor and drama. It's not just about Covid denial, but also about the attitude of "Okay, it's real, but let's take a break from it for a while." Sure we can let our guard down a moment and have fun but... Danger, danger Will Robinson!

  • A House by the Side of the Road by Philip Middleton Williams
    10 Jun. 2020
    “ A nostalgia play. We go back to the time when the radio was your connection to your favorite baseball team and one of your biggest heroes was the play by play man: Ernie Harwell for Tiger Fans. Herb Carneal for Twins fans such as me. Classical, trained for AM radio voices that were not only your link to the team but a way for a father to be closer to his sons. Congrats to Mr. Williams for bringing back these memories. ”
  • Phil Rizzuto Gives Parenting Advice by Ruth Apolonia Zamoyta
    2 Jun. 2020
    “ A wacky little play about a father, a daughter and the sport of baseball. Oh, not to mention an errant ball and a legendary announcer. This is a fun ride! ”
  • END OF PLAY. by Philip Middleton Williams
    27 May. 2020
    “ A play for playwrights? Well, sure, but it's more than that. A play for anyone with an artistic side to them. For anyone who knows what it is like to create something and then have others comment on that creation. Another little gem from Philip Middleton Williams! ”
  • One For The Chipper by Adam Seidel
    24 May. 2020
    “ "One For The Chipper" may be a play about a little league team, but it contains a lot of big league laughs. I swear these characters were old little league teammates of mine! Well done, Adam! ”
  • Chewie, Get Us Out of Here by Philip Middleton Williams
    2 Feb. 2020
    “ If you are a big sci-fi fan you will really enjoy this mish-mash of nearly every single show you can possibly think of in the multi-verse. And if you're not a sci-fi fan you'll still get most of the references and enjoy it just as much. No new insights on the meaning of life here, just a lot of fun. ”
  • A Tree Grows in Longmont by Philip Middleton Williams
    13 Jan. 2020
    “ A very lovely very heartfelt piece by Philip Middleton Williams. Anyone who has lived life for a while will see and recognize the happiness and sorrow, not to mention the honesty, within it. ”
  • One Left Behind by Roberta D'Alois
    7 Sep. 2019
    “ I am a fan of plays based on old folktales and fairytales and so I was happy to read this modern, updated version of "The Six Swans." Roberta has a created a thought provoking tale that I am still absorbing after reading it several days ago. Give this one a read. It will stay with you. ”
  • Edie and Mae by Jacqueline Goldfinger
    4 Aug. 2019
    “ I have been a fan of Jacqueline Goldfinger's plays since meeting her at a theatre conference a few years ago. "Edie and Mae" is one of those plays that is hard to define and hard to explain why I like it, but I really do like it. Part folk tale and part 60s absurdism, two women are desperately searching for salvation, and water, so that the world does not end. What is real and what is not? So much is left for the audience to decide. ”
