  • TENANT 12G: A MONOLOGUE
    22 Mar. 2022
    This sad but true story of the elderly being priced out of their homes is brought to life by Asher Wyndham. It is powerful and hard hitting. Thank you, Asher, for airing this story for those who don't know.
  • Blue Birds (from the THE WRINKLE RANCH AND OTHER PLAYS ABOUT GROWING OLD collection)
    22 Mar. 2022
    Blue Birds is a story with very real characters in a very real situation. It is comfortable, yet annoying; funny, yet serious; and immature and mature all at once. In this day of anger and fear, it was nice to settle in with such likable characters.
  • Knife on a Glass (a monologue)
    22 Mar. 2022
    Yes, I love Scott Sickles' writing. KNIFE ON A GLASS will shrilly make its point even to those in the choir -- It slams its point home. Thank you Scott, for making this theatre.
  • A Sign Is a Sign
    15 Mar. 2022
    I love the utter simplicity of A SIGN IS A SIGN by Peter Dakutis. It's simplicity, its humor and word play and it's pathos. I imagine the comic greats performing this: Carol Burnett, Syd Caesar. Red Skelton, Jackie Gleason because it is so human. Kudos to Mr. Dakutis. This is lovely.
  • THE SAGA OF BARNEY THE BULLY (MONOLOGUE)
    5 Mar. 2022
    How refreshing it is to see a traditional bullying story, THE SAGA OF BARNEY THE BULLY, turned on its ear! This story is new and would be a welcome addition in a any lineup of women's and/or bullying stories. This story earns 5 star KO's!
  • SLUSH PILE BLUES
    9 Feb. 2022
    SLUSH PILE BLUES is not only right on the nose but it punches playwriting (and other creative arts) in the nose at the same time - y'know, one of those big, round red noses. As a past reader for many theatres, I can attest that this story smells of the truth - with its perfectly etched characters, hopes, dreams, and imperfectly perfect ending. If you love theatre, read it! Better, produce it!
  • COMIN' ALIVE AT 35
    2 Feb. 2022
    I. Love. It. Remember those old 'We Were There' books in the library? 'We Were There at Plymouth Rock'? Well, we were there when Flora said bye bye to Bart. I love it. And 35? Kudos to her. And to Lermond for writing her!
  • DEATH BY DERRINGER
    15 Jan. 2022
    An immediate sense of place, time and character shoots us into the world of DEATH BY DERRINGER. Lermond once again nails this trio and we enjoy the world she has created. Enough to bring us out of our hum-drum lives and into a world of imagination -- leaving us wondering what happens next? Well done.
  • CHASSEUR THE CAT (MONOLOGUE)
    15 Jan. 2022
    What fun monologue CHASSEUR THE CAT is! We will see how long Bev rules but the conversion to catlover will endear this monologue to many!
  • FORTUNATE FAILURE (MONOLOGUE)
    15 Jan. 2022
    "Lady Luck don't know my address". What a lovely monologue for a young, pessimist takes the steps towards optimism. I know this fella -- FORTUNATE FAILURE by Vivian Lermond is a well-structured monologue with an earnest fellow with a nice way of telling the story. An nice addition to the world of love, possibility and a worthy audition piece!
