This play is great. It deals with the strength of childhood bonds, the way the past never completely sets us free, and how many of our decisions fall in a morally gray area - with great roles for older actors to boot.

Wow, this play is great. It's a love story, but it's also about racism and power dynamics and the creative process. I would go from giggling as I read to squirming and back again, and I'm going to be thinking about this one all night.

Okay, so, I love this. There are no small parts, not even stage directions. Especially stage directions. This 10 minute piece would be a blast to watch, and probably even more fun to perform.

This monologue would be a breath of fresh air in a holiday-themed show, because I guarantee there would be nothing else in the line up like it. I really enjoyed it.

This short piece about a pair of college roommates with little in common takes you on a journey as they smoke pot and get veeery honest with each other. The twists and turns flow naturally, and the resolution is sweet. This would be a great play for a pair of young actors, as they have both comedy and drama to work with and mine.

This play is about racism, sexism, artistic freedom, and feeling comfortable being yourself. It also has songs. And jokes. And a surprising ending that I didn't see coming. And despite the many heavy topics it deals with, "Tiger Beat" maintains a bubblegum pop lightness, which makes the betrayals and awful remarks cut deeper when they occur. It's a great play.

“We shouldn’t have to keep track of gun owners like they’re criminals or car owners.” What I love about this 10 min play is how sharp and funny it is, despite the fact that it was written in rage and horror. I am definitely the choir this play is preaching to, and it makes me feel less alone. I’m a big fan of hiding your lecture in humor, like a heartworm pill in cheese, and this play does it very successfully.

I read this 10 min piece for the title, and it was delightful. I was expecting it to be funny - and it was - but it also got quite deep at times. With a very simple set and only two actors, this would be an easy play to stage, and it would definitely stand out in an evening of shorts.

Centered around the real-life investigation into the death of theater star Evelyn Hoey, "Above the Fold" delves into how sensationalism sells newspapers, how the narrative is controlled by those with money, and how much harder women have to work to be taken half as seriously as men. I loved the fast-paced dialogue, and the ending was perfect.

Oh, Florida Man. Why are you the way you are? And why can we not get enough of you? This one minute play is a fun send up to Florida Men everywhere (well, everywhere in Florida), and manages to make a big comment about American society in a tiny span of time.
