  • Crass Reunion by Jacquelyn Floyd-Priskorn
    23 Apr. 2021
    “ This one act is delightful!! It uses audience volunteers in such a fun way, and had me laughing out loud as I read. (I LOVE the idea of emergency wine. Sooo good.) Each character is uniquely distinct, and even the audience volunteers are varied and given fun things to do. I'll bet this plays amazingly on its feet. ”
  • Forgive Thyself by John Busser
    22 Apr. 2021
    “ I love this short play! A woman appears in a church and asks the priest to hear her confession, and I don't want to give anything away, but it is both funny and profound and I adored it. John Busser writes great plays. ”
  • Triptych on Divining by Emily McClain
    20 Apr. 2021
    “ These three one-minute plays are wonderful!! I saw "The Plunk" performed a few months ago and tried to find it on NPX to review. I didn't realize it was one of the plays included in "Triptych on Divining," and I was very excited to rediscover it today. These plays will all leave you feeling so many things after only one minute. Read them, read them! ”
  • A Dateless Bargain with Engrossing Death by John Minigan
    19 Apr. 2021
    “ What a fun play! Bobby's got a date with Death tomorrow, so today a deceased frenemy from his past shows up to tip him off and to promise Bobby an easy job in Hell - on one condition. This ten minute play is great! ”
  • America's Sexiest Couple by Ken Levine
    19 Apr. 2021
    “ This play is charming and offers two amazing roles for older actors (which, as Susan points out in the play, are few and far between for women as they age.) It was a quick, enjoyable read, and I'm sure this play goes over great with an audience. ”
  • This Is Your Prez! by Jen Browne
    18 Apr. 2021
    “ What if presidential primaries were decided by an American Idol-type show with theme weeks like 'High School Yearbook' and 'Kindergarten Art'? Watching three presidential contenders vie for office by sharing artwork they made in kindergarten was a delight -especially when the judges of the show are George Washington, Jackie Kennedy, and RBG. This short play is a lot of fun! ”
  • The Bomb A 10-minute Play by Lisa Langford
    18 Apr. 2021
    “ This short play is wonderful. Two exes run into each other in a makeshift aid station during a BLM protest. They begin to talk and tease each other - and then someone throws a bomb into the room and locks the door. Ten pages have never gone so fast and left you feeling so many things. ”
  • Be That As It May by Andrew Martineau
    18 Apr. 2021
    “ This short play is funny and surprising! It moves at a clip, as you slowly realize that you're not actually watching a professor try to jump out of a building to his death, you're watching an actor playing a professor pretending to jump out of a building to his death - but then you discover that the lives of the actors are even more juicy and dramatic than the play they're in. I'll bet this one goes over amazingly in front of an audience. It's smart and funny from start to finish! ”
  • Portrait of the Artist from the Perspective of his Pears, or Luscious Butts by Deborah Yarchun
    17 Apr. 2021
    “ I stumbled upon this play accidentally, the title convinced me that I had to read it, and I am very pleased with the outcome of these events. This short play is weird in the best sense of the word. It's a dialogue between two pears posing for a still life painting, engaging in wordplay and jokes that any dad would be proud of. I don't think I've ever wanted to see something I read on NPX staged so badly. What a strange and wonderful three pages. ”
  • The Unlawful Abusive Patriarchal Possessive Entitlement of the Motown Sound By Way of the Surrogate Collusion of the Jackson Five (Or, I Want You Back) by Toby Malone
    15 Apr. 2021
    “ What a funny and surprising full length this is! Sam and Nick are writing an article about the Jackson Five song, "I Want You Back," when Sam's life all of a sudden begins morphing into the song, and he doesn't handle it well. Anyone who's been dumped can identify with Sam's moping and self-pity (though hopefully not the stalking...) and anyone who's had to deal with a recently-dumped loved one can identify with Nick and Steph. This play is a fun journey (with a twist at the end!) of life imitating art. ”
