  • Lisa Dellagiarino Feriend: The Oktavist

    Wow, this short play is about as close to perfect as you can get. It's engaging and funny and sad all at once. Such a tall order for ten pages, but Vince Gatton has pulled it off with his own rare talent, just like an okatvist. This play is wonderful.

  • Lisa Dellagiarino Feriend: Chapter Envy

    This short play is a delight! In addition to the dialogue being sharp and engaging, it is chock full of visual comedy from start to finish. I would love to see this performed. There is so much for a comedic actor to work with here. Who knew reading could be such a funny subject for a play? If you're in the mood for something light and fun, this is it!

  • Lisa Dellagiarino Feriend: The Four Senses of Love

    This short play is great. I especially love all the asides to the audience sprinkled throughout. The idea of a relationship between a man with no feelings and a woman with no taste (literally) is so wonderfully unique. I loved listening to them talk about what their lives and relationship are, what they might become, and what they can never be. Such an original concept - I loved it!

  • Lisa Dellagiarino Feriend: Birthright

    I didn't know I needed a short radio play about a Jewish vampire in my life, but life is full of surprises. Sadie is a few days away from her Bat Mitzvah when a vampire begins showing up in her room at night. I loved the building tension and the way things were slowly pieced together, and the ending was not at all what I expected it to be, but it was terrific. I'd love to hear this one performed!

  • Lisa Dellagiarino Feriend: The Pi(e) Guy

    A math professor who solves crimes? I am very on board. Written as a tv pilot to be performed on the stage, I love that the 'episode' ends with a hint at the next adventure to come, kind of like Quantum Leap. Archie and his supporting characters are funny and engaging, and I hope David Lipschutz writes a whole slew of Pie Guy adventures!

  • Lisa Dellagiarino Feriend: Cheese Sauce (A Monologue)

    Oh my gosh, this monologue takes me back to my twenties. Dating is hard, meeting people is hard, and sometimes when you're alone with your thoughts, they can spiral out of control, as they do hilariously in this monologue. Spot on and very funny!

  • Lisa Dellagiarino Feriend: HAINTS GONE A HAUNTIN'

    Haints Gone a Hauntin' is a fun and funny short play about two ghost sisters who have gotten tired of haunting the same old spot in the road and hitch a ride toward new adventures. This play made me smile, and I desperately want a spin off about Walters, to see what happens to him after crossing paths with these ghost sisters.

  • Lisa Dellagiarino Feriend: For Leonora, or, Companions

    Oh my gosh, how beautiful this play is! I'd want to see it live for the lighting effects alone, but the whole thing is wonderful. A lovely story about growing up, fitting in, and the value of friends who truly understand you - both real and imaginary.

  • Lisa Dellagiarino Feriend: The Value of Moscow

    A dark comedy about new starts (or old habits?), a bottle of vodka, pizza, and (maybe?) the Irish Mafia, "The Value of Moscow" follows three sisters (like Chekhov's, but different) as they move back in together, having all fallen on hard times. Over the course of the play, their lives continue to hilariously unravel as dead bodies pile up in their bathtub. Weird and wonderful.

  • Lisa Dellagiarino Feriend: In Search of Plan A

    This short, dark comedy is great. Sally is about to put Plan B (aka suicide) into effect when Arnold accidentally interrupts her. Sweet and touching - as well as very funny - "In Search of Plan A" is a wonderful portrayal of two broken people trying to piece each other back together.
