A tight piece that does a good job layering suspense and humor, topped with a solid ambiguous finale.

A hilarious, uber-meta take on Albee that had me guessing until the very (surprising) end.

Wow, there is a lot crammed into this ten-minute play! "Uncovering" manages to walk a tightrope of writing about a truly horrifying process and yet still humanizing its participants, and delivering some great one-liners in the process. Kudos to Mallon for writing a piece that is both absurd and thoughtful. Well done.

A concise two-hander that had me engaged from beginning to (nicely ambiguous) end. The premise is both absurd and startlingly believable, as are the two characters' reactions to it, which is what makes this such a joy to read. It's also looks quite easy to produce, drawing all of its drama and comedy from two props.

An inspired twist on the traditional coming-out story, enlivened by some strong dialogue and fleshed-out characters. A good play for our times, in which folks who've (perhaps grudglingly) come to acknowledge LGBTQ issues discover that the spectrum of gender and sexual preference is more complex than they thought.

CYHMN takes a simple, absurd concept and runs with it, leaving no joke unturned. But it saves its most clever machinations for last, turning a series of crisp one-liners and sight gags into a trenchant dig at modernity. Perfect ending too.

Williams has constructed a tight four-hander with real heart. "Cabana Boy's" careful plotting and deft character construction combine to create a compelling story that focuses both on a deeply personal story of first love and a larger tale about the perils of fame. It's both artfully contained and expansive at the same time, and would be well-served with a production.

A disturbing vignette from a dystopian near-future. Well-crafted dialogue and characters contribute to a gradual and effective buildup of tension and an unexpected but sadly inevitable conclusion. Engaging and suspenseful.

A fascinating snapshot of loneliness and delusion. The play does a great job of organizing widely disparate thoughts into some semblance of order and sequence, so that it all starts to resemble a coherent narrative. Would love to see it live.

A clever idea executed well; remarkably deep and thought-provoking for a 1-minute piece.
