  • Lisa Dellagiarino Feriend: 2 Bdrm 1 Bath

    This short film is adorable. A newly married couple forced to live in a house with only one bathroom (until they're able to sell it, that is) finds the situation harder and harder to handle as the film goes on. The scenes get shorter and shorter as the film hurtles to its conclusion and you wonder if this marriage is going to survive its bathroom problems. Without a single wasted moment, this film is clever, sweet, and funny.

  • Lisa Dellagiarino Feriend: Crass Reunion

    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.

  • Lisa Dellagiarino Feriend: Forgive Thyself

    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.

  • Lisa Dellagiarino Feriend: Triptych on Divining

    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!

  • Lisa Dellagiarino Feriend: A Dateless Bargain with Engrossing Death

    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!

  • Lisa Dellagiarino Feriend: America's Sexiest Couple

    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.

  • Lisa Dellagiarino Feriend: This Is Your Prez!

    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!

  • Lisa Dellagiarino Feriend: The Bomb A 10-minute Play

    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.

  • Lisa Dellagiarino Feriend: Be That As It May

    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!

  • Lisa Dellagiarino Feriend: Portrait of the Artist from the Perspective of his Pears, or Luscious Butts

    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.
