    Fun one-minute piece about family history, polygamy and Chuck E. Cheese. Staats needs to get this to Utah ASAP. Hehe.

    Truly a sweet, oddball, offbeat, goofy romance - I mean that in the best way! Refreshing. Provenza certainly has a strong voice and a gentle sense of humor in this one. Glad to have read it.

    The loneliness of the poetry book. This is a fun play. Reads very quickly. If you've ever wanted to read a play with an illiterate book as a character, this is that play. O'Grady constructs and builds upon jokes very well. Would love to see this produced. Funny stuff.

    A very brave monologue for the right performer. This scenario happens all too often in our military. A sobering piece. One can only wish for a sequel in which the soldier discovers the joys of fragging. Hageman delivers again.

    So this easy super-duper funny, and not just by NPX standards. Absolutely loved it. Dead body with some attitude. Some great lines, including BODY: You can go downstairs and enjoy your family for a while. And by "enjoy" I do not mean, "spend all day comparing yourself to." - Strayer has one heck of a play, hopefully one that gets many more productions.

    The hypocrisy of dumb white America in only a minute. Good work!
  • DRAGON RIDER VISITS VERMONT

    It's rare to find fantasy stageplays - even rarer if they have dragons...and a story with a heart of gold. Recently I led a sci-fi and fantasy short playwriting seminar for my local writers group. This was one of the plays we analyzed. Good stuff!

    Once again, big business is very wise. Truth in satire here. Good work!
  • In the Cards
    22 Jun. 2018
    A sweet little play. Fun use of tarot cards and a dopey ex-boyfriend. I'm a sucker for plays with lines that are rare to hear in real-life....one of those is "I'll sic Booger on you" and another is "Ohmygod, take your piss-soaked records and get out of my apartment." Whimsical mayhem. Did I mention that cat's name is Booger von Mayhem? Manikowski is a talent worth watching. Good work!

    This sits (hehe) as a timely reminder of how screwed up American culture can be. Zutter plunks manspreading head-on. Good stuff. Lovely lines: "Well newsflash ­­you’re not the only one on this train with genitals! What do you think I’ve got down here ­­a smooth, plastic Barbie twat?" - a wonderful piece for a female actor. Keep up the good work!
