  • Rocket Yourself to the Moon by Charlotte Lang
    27 Jun. 2023
    “ This mixture of business lingo-laced intrigue and sci-fi satire of megacorporations (megalocorporations?) makes for a wonderful ride. It is overladen with standout moments, from the bizarre conversations emanating from the factory floor, to the inane jargon mouthed from the upper corporate echelons, through to a gut-bustingly funny list of a drug's side effects. Thoroughly entertaining from start to finish. ”
  • The Death of Gingerbread by Rand Higbee
    25 Jun. 2023
    “ Enjoyed the heck out of this piece when I saw it at the 2023 Valdez Theatre Conference Fringe Festival. It's a wonderful play from a tonal perspective, offering up a wholesome story of low-level family denial that is dramatically and hilariously amplified by the last few moments. ”
  • One Night at the Golden Boot by Mark-Eugene Garcia
    16 May. 2023
    “ This cute, tight relationship piece is couched in some clever and endearing meta-puns, making for an endearing combo of warm fuzzies and knowing laughter. ”
  • I'm Gonna Need You to Log off for Me by Daniel Prillaman
    15 May. 2023
    “ This fun, well-constructed piece has an interesting take on AI, characterizing it as basically a blameless entity manipulated by the real enemies: tech bros. Not sure whether I agree, but it's a fresh and entertaining take on the ethical crisis du jour. ”
  • Interventions by Greg Lam
    11 May. 2023
    “ Funny, brisk, and charming throughout, Lam takes a great concept and carries it through to fruition. Kudos for being able to tell this rather complex story in the 10-minute format, which keeps it from potentially bogging down in time-travel logic. ”
  • Chainmail by Brandon Urrutia
    10 May. 2023
    “ A fascinating, very theatrical piece that blends the fantasy and real worlds beautifully and does both of them justice. ”
  • Confirmation Bias by Nick Malakhow
    9 May. 2023
    “ A poignant encounter between two well-drawn characters at a pivotal moment, this epitomizes what a 10-minute play can accomplish. Wholly believable and quite engrossing. ”
  • STAR TRIPS! by Adam Szymkowicz
    8 May. 2023
    “ A breezy, supremely silly voyage through all things Star Trek. Enough Trek-specific content to keep fanboys delighted, couched in enough general goofiness to entertain casual fans. Would be a hoot on stage. ”
  • Portrait of a Demolitionist by Baylee Shlichtman
    7 May. 2023
    “ Playing Chutes and Ladders against an anthropomorphized painting is an interest way to analogize wrestling with one's conscience, and Shlictman does a good job of taking this intriguing idea and running with it. The idea works well for creating conflict and discussion and it would be great to see staged, especially the first few pages when Angelique the painting reveals herself as a character. ”
  • CREATURE COMFORTS by Greg Burdick
    6 May. 2023
    “ A very clever premise for a play that absolutely pays off in the end. With good fun along the way. ”
