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.

What a clever concept. Arnold and Bernard are very busy people in this one-minute play, who seem to be having affairs with each other's significant others? Maybe? (How do they find the time?) The staging and the dialogue is very clever. I actually read this play through several times and kept catching new things. Great!

The feeling of losing yourself and your individual identity within the "us" of a married unit is so relatable and described so well in this monologue. Andrew Martinueau says so much with so little in this piece. I love it.

This is a beautiful monologue about love and grief and how people linger with us long after they're gone. It paints such a rich picture of who Allen was, who Allen and Philip were together, and who Philip is on his own. It's a perfect encapsulation of loss. Just lovely.

I love this monologue about new beginnings and self-reinvention and biting off more than you can chew. It's funny and charming, and I love that Piper never fully devolves into a stereotypical American who simply MUST have her creature comforts, but she accepts and adapts and vows not to let this experience defeat her. Funny and poignant all at once.

This monologue juxtaposes losing a tooth and losing a nephew so beautifully and devastatingly. What a beautiful study on grief and pain and how we bear them.

I was hooked on this monologue from the opening line ("Okay, Chad. I'm going to interrupt you there!") So clever and fun! This outrageous, well-read, and offended bridesmaid would be a blast for an actor to play.
