This is a giant folktale in a tiny ten minute play package. The magic of this village is vast and ineffable, but Anna is determined to bring the secrets to light and keep the traditions strong. I would love to see this as a full length. The world needs more folktales and ones about preserving history and roots are always relatable!

This is a tough character, going through a tough time and of course, she has a hard time not blaming others for her situation. Was the mysterious man real? Or was she having a mental break? So many questions, but she is so certain her version of everything is right. Would love to learn more about her.

As a child, you always wondered why mom and dad were so tired on Christmas morning. This short play with a little slapstick comedy is so relatable and a great scene to add to your holiday lineup of plays.

This would be great for a senior theatre group to perform and possibly do a talk back after! Inclusivity without excluding anyone is complicated! Wendy is welcomed with open arms, open minds and warm muffins. The world will change a lot, but the theatre is always there for us all!

I love that Brayden would always ask "is my sun shining?" It's absolutely adorable. As dramatic as his exit from this world, it seems Alec was on a similar, although slower path of destruction through his grief. Luckily, Brayden returns for one last visit to shine a light and guide his love to a better future. One that can continue to honor Brayden through a mutual connection. An ending to a literal and figurative storm with both a literal and figurative rainbow!

GET OUT OF MY HEAD! This is so relatable and kind of validating to know I am not the only one with a crowded brain every night. Maybe I just need to talk reason to these noisy characters? Very fun play.

As stoic and awkward as these two appear to be, this really is romantic. Beyond the world that they are regulated to, they are following their hearts, the contracts be damned...but still be signed! Absolutely funny and adorable!

What a way to start a morning. For Lacey and David as well as for me, the reader! This is a beautiful 2 hander about loss and the need to hold on to something to keep from drowning in grief. But there is hope in these short pages, because, even though Lacey and David have slightly different needs in their belief of what is beyond, they can come together and believe in each other.

What starts out as possibly the worst Valentine's Day ever for Cassidy begins a journey to enlightenment for her. The ghosts of her past shine a light on the ghoul of her present, and she uses the light to find her way to herself and a better future. Or at least a great bottle of wine, which pairs nicely with a little vengefulness!

Oh the feels! The anxiety! The playwright's need to share, but the fear of hearing what their innermost thoughts mean to others. This is so well demonstrated. But with mother gently washing her baby's anxieties away at the end, we must remember "It's only a play." Even if that play is everything to the playwright.
