  • TWENTY DAYS LATER by Adam Richter
    8 Mar. 2022
    “ There's so much comic gold in Twenty Days Later! Adam Richter's spin on Groundhog Day will make you reconsider your source for the prediction of the oncoming spring. Very funny, and definitely something I'd love to see on stage! ”
  • The Boys Across the Street (Monologue) by Donald E. Baker
    8 Mar. 2022
    “ The racist and homophobic woman in this monologue still exists in America, sadly. She is all over America, in fact. Donald E. Baker captures the hypocrisy of American Christianity and shows us that progress hasn't caught up with nearly enough people around here. Her rejection at the end allows a bit of hope to bleed through -- that not everyone's morals have been so stunted. ”
  • Action Figures by Peter Dakutis
    8 Mar. 2022
    “ I love this little play by Peter Dakutis! Not only does it celebrate individuality, making your own path, and not conforming to society's stereotypes, it also celebrates generational changes in parenting. Action Figures suggests that our heros should be people who take action in our own lives and make positive changes that have a broad impact on future generations. It's wonderful! ”
  • From the Top by Scott Sickles
    3 Mar. 2022
    “ I happened across this play, and I just love it. The three different perspectives all come together in amusing and also deeply heart rending ways. I love the characters and how each of them is struggling in their own lives. I feel for each of them. Sickles has put together a beautiful puzzle of love and desire with each interlocking piece heightening and confirming the other. It's sweet without being saccharine and all too familiar to anyone who has been in love -- requited or not. Absolutely gorgeous. I'd love to see it on stage! ”
  • THE LATEST CRAZE: FIVE ONE-MINUTE PLAYS ABOUT WORDLE by Adam Richter
    3 Feb. 2022
    “ I'm a huge Wordle fan, and this play has hit the zeitgeist! People get passionate about their games -- and this game in particular. Adam Richter gives us five short scenarios, each one funnier than the last, about the word game that's swept the world. I love this. It's niche, and yet, so of the moment that I'd love to see it make a nationwide tour. So much fun! ”
  • Fable Group by Andrew Martineau
    3 Feb. 2022
    “ I love this group therapy play with fairy tale characters. Each of the characters carries their own traumas, which we tend to gloss over as children, but the backstories are truly terrible when you think about it! The play goes dark in the end, but in the midst of that, we can't help but laugh in horror at the things we've ignored for so long. This is a great piece that make you want to pay better attention to the stories we take for granted! I'd love to see it on stage! ”
  • Weird Brewing by Lee R. Lawing
    2 Feb. 2022
    “ This would be so fun to stage! The weird sisters from Shakespeare's Macbeth get a visit from a bat whose fur they've stolen, and as a result, their brew will lose its spark. But it's hilarious seeing these familiar hags together -- accosted by a bat in his underwear. Lots of fun for actors and audiences alike! It would be great for a Halloween show! ”
  • Divine Books by Joe Swenson
    12 Jan. 2022
    “ I love the idea that years of life can be added and/or subtracted in a bookstore. Lawrence and Carrie are in the fight for their lives, and the reward is not only living, but possibly living longer. DOUG makes for an interesting, ambiguous character that makes you wonder if there's an ulterior motive in the divine. Carrie's sacrifice is sweet, but not saccharine. I like that there's a sort of tradition going on. This show would be great to see at a fringe festival and has lots of cool possibilities for actors. I quite enjoyed it! ”
  • Lesson #7: Past Participants (a one minute play) by Mark Harvey Levine
    10 Jan. 2022
    “ There are language lessons, and then, there are life lessons. I think we can all take away from this play that learning a new language doesn't mean you can leave the subtleties of your native language behind. In other words, learn to lie. haha! This is a great little piece -- full of possibilities for the stage! Love it! ”
  • A Throne Too Far- Script In A Day by Alice Josephs
    10 Jan. 2022
    “ Royalty gets updated when an exiled king and his son return home to take back the throne. I love how common sense and modern ideals take center stage in what could otherwise be a return to a more conservative tradition. The king gives up his power to live a more humble life, but rather than seeming foolish, the decision seems quite wise. Who would want to go backwards? This would be a fun play to see with lots of room for comedic actors to shine! ”
