  • A Long Overdue Talk With Henry by John Busser
    20 Oct. 2020
    “ The levels of comedy an actress will get to show through this fabulously hilarious monologue are endless! What a gift of a script this is! Physical comedy mixed with witty speech will have audiences rolling, and the character is in a very relatable situation. Well done, Busser, once again! Thank you for writing such fun roles for women! ”
  • Vignettes for an Idol Beachfront by Daniel Prillaman
    19 Oct. 2020
    “ This highly unusual and irreverent play touches on Greek Mythology with a hint of commedia and some Mamet-esque language peppered in for good measure. The dialogue is just as important as the choreography and could be quite a piece to behold. I can see this performed at a Renaissance festival, an open air theatre, a theatre in the round...anywhere really! There is so much to do an unpack and the audience will never know what hit them! What a brilliant rollercoaster Prillaman has created! ”
  • Nan - A 10-Minute Play by Noa Gardner

    “ My mother has rheumatoid arthritis. This really hit home. My mother is also a bit of a perfectionist. This hit home hard. The easy banter between mother and daughter hides a darker end around the corner. Very real. Very relatable. Very well written. ”
  • Old Habits by Kerri Kochanski

    “ The characters in this play are all very recognizable and relatable. Which is what makes it so very heartbreaking. Great role for a senior citizen looking to showcase their talents! ”
  • PERSPECTIVES by Jack Levine
    17 Oct. 2020
    “ An absurdist take on "what is art?" What it means to the artist is rarely the same as what it means to the consumer. What it is WORTH is rarely the same either. And that's ok! The intangibility of art is what makes art so accessible to all! The quick paced banter between the two characters will be fun for the performers and what a killer closing line! ”

    “ This play made me smile. That is how this work of art touched me. Perhaps it may have frustrated another judge. But it made me smile. And that is okay. Somehow in life we have a desire to determine what is the best and what is...not the best. But art should, and does go beyond that. Once art leaves the artist's hands, it becomes the property of the world. And how the world reacts will be different with different experiences. But obviously, no boys allowed. :) See, I'm still smiling! Great work of art, Mr Martin! ”
  • We Want the Power Mop! by sheila duane

    “ As a commercial actress myself, this is pretty relatable! And the fact that this takes place in the 1980s and things are only slightly starting to change...well, its more than a little frustrating. The pro-union and feminist lessons these ladies share are empowering, even though they are forced to stick with the status quo at the end, we still get a little "whack" of satisfaction. ”
  • Ella In The Woods by Hayley Haggerty
    16 Oct. 2020
    “ This lyrical play is truly a fairy tale, with all of the familiar elements. But finally a fairy tale for those who never saw their happily ever afters in storybooks before. The woods and the wolves within them are very inviting, familiar and threatening at the same time. We all have to go through the woods in our own lives. Some of us leave with love, some of us find ourselves. And some of us never find our way out again. A beautiful fairy tale for today and the future! ”
  • Every Four Years by DC Cathro

    “ Ok, I didn't expect to cry reading this short play about absentee ballots. But I related so hard to Frannie and her husband...I too have a husband where we "cancel each other out" every election. But we also encourage each other to vote! And the sweet "Hands Across America" story just sent the relationship between mother, son and the late father straight to my soul. This play is timely...but I think it will ALWAYS be timely, to be honest. ”
  • TIME CODE by Kerr Lockhart
    15 Oct. 2020
    “ Wow. What starts out as a gentle stroll down memory lane, suddenly takes a sharp turn to a horrifying trial.
    As an actor, you have to be an advocate for yourself in difficult filming situations, but when the pressure is on to get the shot, its easy to just take the abuse...and that should never happen. It is heartbreaking to watch the realizations slowly develop with each actor. Its a job. But you can never forget it a job performed by humans. I will be thinking about this play for a long time. ”
