  • The Sugar Ridge Rag
    31 Jul. 2022
    I have been wanting to see The Sugar Ridge Rag by Philip Middleton Williams and finally got to read this beautiful and truthful play. Having lived through this period, I rarely read or see a play that gets it - That understands life in the 60's: the complex in the simplicity, and the simplicity in the complex. Middleton Williams has always written beautiful and sensitive relationship plays but this, written with the background of ragtime and 1960's America, sears your heart. Yes, I did cry. And I laughed at the goodheartedness of these characters. Should be seen nationwide.
  • Blood Red State (a monologue)
    30 Jul. 2022
    Lee Lawing has chosen to write about a nightmare so many face now in our country. In BLOOD RED STATE, a woman has had an abortion. Thank you for writing this Lawing: it makes it more real than so many realize. This is not an extreme situation - but an of-happening one - that is turned into an extreme situation. Well done, Lawing.
  • In Case You Open Your Eyes Again (a monologue)
    30 Jul. 2022
    What a beautiful, difficult and hopeful monologue by Scott Sickles... Creating in the story of a non-binary character, a story that truly pains many more -- Saying goodbye and being seen for who you are... You might be reminded of your own goodbyes to loved ones -- and your own wishes to be seen -- and question who you may not have seen before. Simply beautiful.
  • Virgins
    30 Jul. 2022
    There's so much I like about VIRGINS by Scott Sickles. Not only is this a breakthrough regarding intimacy between two sisters and the men in their lives, but it also is a breakthrough between the sisters themselves. Wonderfully actable and funny roles -- and dramatic -- and a story that has become real among a thousand cliches. Sickles, once again, gets these characters so right. A good addition to any festival or evening of plays.
  • The Conversation
    30 Jul. 2022
    The Conversation, by Linda Berndt, is a sore reminder of the details of a conversation we all wish at times to have but never goes as we want. Berndt captures the pain and hope of speaking to a past lover where questions linger... Nicely done.

  • SAWZALL SCREW UP ( a one minute monologue)
    29 May. 2022
    This comic monologue produces a gaggle of giggles and recognition, too - about a botched online order. What a wonderful way to break up an evening of one-act plays! Wonderfully funny.
  • EN POINTE ( a one minute monologue )
    29 May. 2022
    Ambition? Love? Insanity? Vivian Lermond in a minute's time, studies the life of a ballerina - most any performer - and drives it home in this truthful monologue. Well done.
  • DIVE BOMBER ( a one minute monologue)
    29 May. 2022
    One thing about a Dive Bomber: it can make you forget things for a moment - but won't be forgotten! The complications of a drink for a non-drinker - no matter the age - are comically embraced in this one minute gulp! You won't forget the monologue either.
  • TAILWIND (a one minute monologue)
    29 May. 2022
    The perfect reminder that there are people in our lives - often siblings - who can recenter you and put you back on your way. Lermond nails this supportive love in this lovely monologue.
