I love this one-minute play. In just a minute, it conveys all the messiness and complications of an affair, why people engage in them, and why they can be so hard to end. It's hard to create flawed characters who are also sympathetic in just a little over one page, but Arianna Rose pulls it off.

This play is a lot of fun. It's a good old-fashioned farce with fast, clever dialogue, misunderstandings, and lots of laughs. This would be a crowd-pleaser for sure.

This play about a legitimate scientist getting pulled into the world of climate change denialism is scary because it's plausible. I really enjoyed watching Jillian get more and more tangled in the web, and I loved that science and its agenda-less pursuit were the heroes of the story. One character's line, "Nothing is as important as the truth, because everything else rests upon it," is a sentiment we need shouted from the rooftops today, as truth seems up for grabs even though, as Neil deGrasse Tyson said, science is true whether or not you believe in it. So timely.

This short play is delightful. The devil is summoned for some soul-selling, but he ends up disappointed by the lack of vision in the one who summoned him. It's clever, fun, and full of nicknames for Satan. If I saw this in a night of shorts, it would be the one I'd be telling friends about the next day. I love it!

This short Zoom comedy has two fun roles for folks over 50 and a fun twist ending. I enjoyed watching this virtual first date heighten and heighten all the way to the reveal at the end. What a fun piece!

This play about aging women wrestlers getting their groove back is wonderful. It has two fabulous roles for older women - such a rarity! - and a great part for a teenage boy as well. I love that this story is carried by characters outside the typical age range of who anchors a show. It is funny, sad, surprising, and full of spectacle. I would love to see this staged!

Adorable!! I love this short Zoom play about two vampires. The dialogue is smart, quick, and funny. What a great vehicle for two actors to really have some fun and show their comedic chops.

This play is fabulous. It revolves around the idea of hauntings, whether actual, physical hauntings, or things we carry inside us that haunt us and just won't let us be. Like all Vince Gatton plays, it sucks you in from the start, and you spend the whole play trying to puzzle out what is going on, right alongside Eric. I really enjoyed Esme's podcast stories sprinkled throughout as well. With a small cast and simple set requirements, this would be an easy play to produce, and it should be produced often.

This short play is great. It's moving day for Yasmine and her cat, Cali, but Cali refuses to get in her carrier. It's an adorable dialogue between a human and her cat (and not a campy cat, not a human dressed in a furry cat costume. Just an actor playing a cat), and then you find out WHY it's moving day, and everything shifts. Sweet, funny, and with a message that hits home. It's fabulous.

This short play is both a sweet story about a blossoming friendship and a climate change warning about our melting planet, and I am here for a play that can multitask. I really enjoyed how the dialogue was light and fun, while the whole time I was thinking, "A polar bear in Hawaii? There shouldn't be polar bears in Hawaii. What if one day, polar bears end up in Hawaii????" A nice mixture of adorable and anxiety-inducing, which is what we need if we want people to be moved to act on climate.
