  • The Little Mermaid (for ages 5+)
    8 Jul. 2020
    I love that this story is focused on family and imagination. Many children will leave this show inspired to create their own stories after seeing these characters be so clever with the world around them. We need more stories that inspire imagination and focus on friendship like this! I can just see all the clever ways this can be costumed and lit. A terrific TYA play!
  • The Last Supper: A Zoom Play
    7 Jul. 2020
    Wow. This play feels so real. The way the couple builds their argument and pokes at each other, all the way to the bitter end, Adams really finds the voice of each character and their weaknesses and shows it all through the Zoom screen of this play. Heartbreakingly real stuff here.
  • Going Out on a Limb
    7 Jul. 2020
    This whimsical comedy about tooth fairies takes a turn you wouldn't expect! As an actor, I would definitely want to play a "part" in this hilarious short play. Busser is definitely a playwright to watch if you like out there concepts and witty comedy!
  • Bunnyboy
    6 Jul. 2020
    This play will have students and adults alike laughing in the aisles! What a fun "hop" through the misadventures of poor Bunnyboy! The witty banter and goofy costumes will be fun for actors and designers alike. I think we haven't seen the last of Bunnyboy, though! This could be a great series!
  • Death Wears a Costume
    5 Jul. 2020
    What a fun one act for student performers and designers! Plenty of roles and costumes and pithy one liners for everyone to shine. Plus a twist the audience won't see coming! Prillaman is "a real wordsmith." And I don't mean that sarcastically! Definitely consider this for your next group's performance!
  • This is How you Got Me Naked or My Sexy Fairytale
    3 Jul. 2020
    An absurdist descent into youth and their desire to connect. In poetic textspeak, the characters take us on a journey through an evening of hook-ups and self-discovery. Scene 7 is a delightful, almost operatically staged sex scene. I could almost hear the lines sung from the characters' individual spotlights.
    This would be a fun show to "mount"and even more fun to watch.
  • All Lives Matter...Except Yours
    3 Jul. 2020
    This is a terrific PSA for today! If this is still in progress, I think this piece will really be an amazing comic statement on the ridiculous "What about me? Where's mine?" society we live in. I hope someone films this and airs it nationwide!
  • Interview

    A delightfully wacky short play, great for older actors. The word play and fast paced banter will be a terrific showcase for any actor. This would be a fun addition to a night of theatre!
  • Any Second Now

    I love a good meta comedy! This was just delightful! So many laugh out loud lines in just 10 tight pages. So many jokes go by so quickly, you might miss them. The depth of the humor in this piece is staggering. Clearly, this playwright is very well-read. Lucky for his characters, too! They may be there to represent "archetype" characters, but they have very full backstories and deliciously witty dialogue!
  • Nothing Remained But Voice And Bones

    Still wiping away tears after reading this. Heartbreakingly relatable, Dwyer takes us on a journey with Mel through her whole life, wishing she took up a little less space. So many lines in this play have run through my own mind as I am sure they have gone through many other minds. This script has the potential to really shake people to the core, but also open many eyes as well. Theatre and film directors take note. This is a script to bring to life! Just like Mel, it deserves to be seen and loved for the beauty it is.
