“
Oh my goodness, this play! I love the music and economy of the dialogue as the two characters say their final goodbyes. What a sad, unique, beautiful play. ”

- Engels in the Outfield by14 Apr. 2021“ A ten minute musical in which Karl Marx tries to heckle baseball players into becoming communists? HERE FOR IT. Tom Moran writes the funniest plays. ”
- A Day in the News by14 Apr. 2021“ Ooof, this play. It says so much in just one minute. I could honestly seeing this being turned into a very successful commercial by a gun control advocacy group. It's short and powerful. ”
- An Awkward Conversation in the Shadow of Mount Moriah by14 Apr. 2021“ Well, this is delightful. I always wondered what Isaac thought about his dad almost murdering him before God intervened, and now I know. This short play is funny, smart, and a great read. I bet it plays really well in front of an audience, too. ”
- Mission Trip [A One-Minute Play] by13 Apr. 2021“ I’m always in the mood for a one minute play about Christian hypocrisy! “Mission Trip” tackles a big issue and makes a big point in only one page. Love it. ”
- Parent / Teacher Night, a Monologue by13 Apr. 2021“ As a former teacher, this monologue rings so true. Haven't we all fantasized about what we'd actually like to say to parents? Of course, we don't all compose fantasy sentences as fantastic as "Your child lacks the curiosity that God gave a slow carrot." I love this monologue and what it says about education, family life, and how both influence a student's success. ”
- THE TEAPOT SCANDALS by13 Apr. 2021“ I am the target audience for a musical about American history, and this one is delightful. The presidency of Warren Harding unfolds as a musical review staged by his wife and members of his administration shortly after his death. It's funny and sharp and a good reminder that no morally bankrupt administration has single-handedly unraveled the country yet. I really enjoyed it. ”
- The Silence of My Lonely Room by12 Apr. 2021“ I saw this play pop up on the NPX homepage so many times that I had to add it to my reading list, and it didn't disappoint! A short play about two estranged friends who went through something traumatic, "The Silence of My Lonely Room" has the kind of beautiful dialogue you expect from Scott Sickles and is a great depiction of what it's like to struggle with mental health issues. This is really great work. ”
- G'Oy Vey! by12 Apr. 2021“ This is adorable! A first date on Zoom goes horribly - but delightfully - awry when Ezra's whole family joins the call. I loved the jokes and the private messages between Ezra and his date. I would love to see a production of this sweet play! ”
- The Nude Scene by12 Apr. 2021“ This short play is great! An exploration of what is and isn't art, and what is and isn't selling out, "The Nude Scene" moves at a steady clip with great dialogue as an actor and director argue over whether or not it would be best for the actor to do the scene without her clothes on. Clever and charming, I really enjoyed this one! ”
