  • Red Roof (A Monologue)
    24 Oct. 2018
    Effective location-specific monologue about someone very sociable and who is proud of her family. A slice of life? A slice of humanity? Don't know how to describe it. Worth a read and a nice role for an older Pacific Islander actress.
  • Who's Afraid of the Boogeyman?
    17 Oct. 2018
    This is a fun little Halloween play with a few risque moments. Recommended for anyone who'd like to laugh. Good work!

    Good characterization, great roles for teen actors.
  • FAT UGLY PIGS ON CAMERA
    11 Oct. 2018
    I liked this play as an indictment of the misogynist system in which America finds itself. Hovanesian uses role reversal to good effect. There are some solid female parts in it. The play is about human dysfunction [no, not that kind] and the accumulation of bad choices. Definitely worth a read.
  • In this Corner
    11 Oct. 2018
    The first MMA play I've ever read. The play does a good job of bobbing and weaving older tropes with newer themes. Worth a read from any fight fan.
  • MONIQUE: A MONOLOGUE FOR A GIRL IN MIDDLE-SCHOOL
    7 Oct. 2018
    DAMN!!! This one hits hard and fast. A rapid, furious indictment of how America's culture treats its women and how it seems to worship and reward predators. Equal parts heartbreaking and vicious, this is WYNDHAM's strongest monologue I've read. Intense. READ NOW...
  • The Home for Retired Canadian Girlfriends
    3 Oct. 2018
    Extremely clever & creative comedy about the adventures of a mythical Canadian girlfriend. Genuine laughs here. Warning: contains one of the most groan-inducing jokes [on purpose of course] seen in recent memory. Involves an '80s pop singer. Good stuff. Highly recommended.
  • RICHARD GERSTL, A Monologue
    1 Oct. 2018
    Quite a different play/monologue than what I'm used to. The language feels similar to Gerstl's painting, if that makes any sense. Sympathetic with heightened language. Worth a read!
  • PRACTICE MAKES PERFECT: A One-Minute Play for Two Kids
    29 Sep. 2018
    Interesting play. There's a quaint abstractness to the dialogue that works. Hopefully this will get more productions. Almost like a meta-mini, if that's a thing. The miniplay speaking to the meta of American life.
  • Three Strangers
    21 Sep. 2018
    What a lovely kaleidescope of life among three sisters in the Windy City! Gotta love a play that has "Smash the patriarchy" as an introduction. Really great scenes, effective dialogue. "I said I want to give you a thousand dollars. But I can’t do that now that I’m living on my measly freelance writer income after my power suit-clad lawyer wife decided she’d rather let her Yogalates instructor fuck her brains out than be married to me." Fun stuff. Friedman has done it again.
