I honestly don't laugh out loud reading scripts that often, but this one had me roaring...like Tarzan! Absolutely smart humor despite Tarzan's atrocious grammar and manners. This will be a favorite play of the night. So many great zingers along with visual jokes. Perfect Busser work!

This is Busser being his Busser Best! I was laughing out loud and wiping tears by the 8th commitment. Thank the Alrighty for playwright John Busser, who will always help you find your smile when it's lost. Just don't take the Mount Sinai expressway to get there!
I could see a young Bob Newhart performing this piece, actually!

I love this! What a great way to get people excited about the former first lady. First you show her in absolutely ridiculous Hollywood situations before you show the real and very interesting (dare say exciting?) truth! A wonderfully fun play that shows history as well as the battle between writers and the producers who wish they were writers!

The tension starts with some low key nervous humor. But it keeps building throughout this short and terrifying play. We see two women with very different strengths, fighting to survive. Absolutely an intense read and probably even more frightening to watch!

It's so true that few of us have real human conversations anymore. Rick is trying to make the best of a mundane situation, while Bob just wants to do his boring job without getting fired. A great piece for 2 actors to show real moments with a little comedy.

This is such a real and difficult conversation. Planning your child's bar mitzvah is stressful enough, but add to it your child is autistic and the shark just got bigger. As the onion of Andy's relationship with his parents is slowly peeled, we see a father who will do anything for his son and a mother who thinks she is doing everything for her son, but is really just going through the motions in order to "fit in" to what is expected. Watching her realize what her son really needs from her will be a gut punch to the audience.

This is some sassy stuff! Madelaine has taken control of her needs, for now. Or is she perhaps training Brett? It certainly looks like both Brett and Madelaine are happy enough. It's good to see women helping women make the best of a bad situation!

Nasty. But the dark truth of what is inside us is always nasty. Elina and Margie just go deeper than any friends would typically go. The laughter and casual sleepover setting will definitely add to the horror of the revelations and gore. Dark, nasty, truths.

The ending is so well crafted. It leaves you with hope in a world where loud, gregarious men are more seen and heard than women. The truth of Alyssa's situation, regardless of what the social truth of her relationship with Jeff/David, is that she clearly didn't welcome his physical attack on her personal space. Even if she were having a "mental break" and he really were her husband, he had no right to do what he did and she clearly needed assistance. Luckily, she had a Kelly waiting in the wings. May we all have a Kelly!

"Whys are for movies and plays." Truth. Sometimes evil is just evil! What a great scene between two former lovers. Very honest banter, until...all hell breaks loose. This is a great and surprising short play!
