  • The Great Khan by Michael Gene Sullivan
    12 Aug. 2021
    “ Oh my gosh, I adore this. It touches on so many things - racism, how history is told by the victors, and the struggles of adolescence, just to name a few. The dialogue is brilliant, the mother/son relationship in the play is adorable, and Genghis Khan shows up! "The Great Khan" taught me many things, such as 1. The Mongols invented pants, and 2. I should read more of Michael Gene Sullivan's work. ”
  • Reincarnate by Jacob Horowitz
    11 Aug. 2021
    “ What a clever idea this is! This short play depicts a meeting of a support group for reincarnated playwrights who are struggling to shake free of their famous former selves. The dialogue is smart and funny and moves at a satisfying clip as these five characters struggle to accept who they are now, and forget who they once were. So much fun! ”
  • Today Is My Birthday by Susan Soon He Stanton
    11 Aug. 2021
    “ I love this. A play told entirely through phone calls/messages and radio, it took me back to the loneliness and uncertainty of my late 20s while at the same time being very funny. ”
  • Top Shelf Tolstoy by Maximillian Gill
    9 Aug. 2021
    “ Oh my gosh, I love this. A woman goes to her local library to get a library card and discovers that the library now has a full bar as a way to raise money - and fewer books. So much fun! Smart and fast and so engaging, this would be an audience favorite in any evening of short plays. ”
  • A Wee Rembrandt by Schatzie Schaefers
    9 Aug. 2021
    “ Wow, I THOROUGHLY enjoyed this! Based on a real-life robbery of the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum in Boston, "A Wee Rembrandt" is a short play about the two unlucky guards who were on duty that night, as they pass time tied up in the museum's basement, waiting to be found in the morning. Their banter is hysterical and left me wishing the play was much longer than 20 pages. I will definitely be checking out more of Schatzie Schaefers' work! ”
  • Abridged Theatre History For People Who Have A Cursory Interest* | *(please note we have not verified these facts) by Lea McKenna-Garcia
    6 Aug. 2021
    “ I read this one because the title intrigued me, and I'm so glad I did. A delightful, theater-based dialogue between two men who don't know a whole lot about the theater. What a fun short play! ”
  • Stanley Hotel by Jeffrey James Keyes
    6 Aug. 2021
    “ Oooh I really enjoyed this short play! It's a ghost story - but sweet. A ghost-hunting couple discuss ghosts they've seen, what makes some people wander forever after they die, and what they hope for each other after death. I love the natural dialogue, and I love the conclusions these characters reach. ”
  • Drill by Stephen Kaplan
    5 Aug. 2021
    “ This one-minute play about how active shooter drills have become a routine part of school life is powerful and infuriating. It says so much with so little - the mark of a successful one-minute play. ”
  • God Chooses Arkansas by Lee R. Lawing
    5 Aug. 2021
    “ This short play about the lengths some sports fans will go to see their team win is hilarious. The stakes raise steadily (and entertainingly) right up to the last second of the game. What a great play for comedic actors to go wild with. ”
  • PLAINCLOTHES by Spenser Davis
    5 Aug. 2021
    “ Plainclothes is such a fabulous play! It deals with racial profiling and the us vs them mentality while at the same time being hugely entertaining and often hilarious. The characters are rich and the kind of roles actors dream of. I really love how Plainclothes handles so many big issues without ever feeling preachy. This play is great. ”
