I love quirky comedies, and this short is perfection! Marla and Joel have finished a successful first date, and Marla doesn't want to mess this up, so she's doing things differently with this guy - which Joel finds baffling. The dialogue in this piece is sharp and fast, and even on the page you can tell that this would be a blast both to watch and to perform.

This short play about office coworkers takes a sharp dark turn pretty quickly, and I am here for it! Sharp, dark comedy at its finest.

This short's clever portrayal of the afterlife has a very deep question at its core for a play whose dialogue feels so light and flows so smoothly. In addition to being so engaging, it's also very easy to stage, which makes it a great play for theater companies with a variety of budgets.

The twists! Every time I thought I knew where this short was going, it took a surprising turn. Fun and cathartic in equal measure!

This is hilarious. Some games last a long time, like Monopoly, and then there's THIS game, which has gone on forever and become part of Erin's identity. What a clever short with a button that is absolute perfection.

Well, I love this. Morey Norkin takes an awful chant and turns it into an amazing play, in which a white supremacist finds that he has, in fact, been replaced in the story of his life by a Jew. A Jewish grandma, to be precise. This short finds humor in a very unlikely place and is an absolute delight.

I didn't realize I needed a short play about Henry VIII in therapy, but here we are. I love how self-absorbed he is, and how he keeps repeating that he's the King of England. This poor therapist has her work cut out for her. What a fun, original piece!

I love the moral gymnastics Burns and Crump go through to justify their get rich quick scheme. This dark comedy is a lot of fun and ends perfectly.

Oh wow. This one minute play packs a punch and makes you reflect on what you’d bring if you were in Skye’s position. In only two pages of dialogue, it will have you contemplating the wonder of everyday objects.

This short play is too silly. A trio of church leaders brainstorm ways to pack the house for Easter in this very funny, very biting satire about the hypocrisy of so many Christian leaders. I especially enjoyed the Assistant Pastor's enthusiasm for how much blood there is in the Bible. Lots of fun!
