A widower's daughter just got her first period - what's a dad to do? This 10 minute play is equal parts sweet and silly. It would be a memorable one in any 10 minute play festival.

This play realizes the full potential of what is capable with a virtual play. The dialogue is realistic, the plot is engaging, and there were more wonderful tiny details than I can mention. Even now, with Zoom fatigue, I would still love to see this play. So well done!

This play is so much fun! Two ghosts of Roman legionaries talk about the past as they walk around London and one discusses the unfinished business keeping him there. I would love to see this one. I can hear the characters so distinctly, even just reading it on the page. Such a great concept for a play!

Even Shakespeare gets rejections sometimes. This 10 minute play is a delight! Very clever and very fun.

Well I’m convinced. This monologue is charming, relatable, and has the lovely advantage in these socially distant times of being something that would work well on Zoom. Delightful!

This play is a lot of fun. Batman's monologues and weird, shouted statements had me laughing. I loved watching him try to turn the mundane into the epic, and watching Alfred quietly suffer through it all, responding to everything with, "Very good, sir," like you would to a child you don't want to have to deal with.

Mary Shelley (well, she's still Mary Godwin right now) is writing Frankenstein and can't get Victor Frankenstein's horrified look right, so she tries to imagine the worst experience of her life and describe her reaction. Then her life takes a quick, sudden turn. This is a quick-moving short play about what one truly finds horrifying. I enjoyed the dialogue AND I enjoyed learning details of the lives of Mary, her stepsister, and Percy Shelley that I hadn't known before. This would be a great short play for high school students, as the characters are young and the dialogue is clean.

I saw a production of this play in 2019 (remember when we used to be able to go to the theater?) and I still think about it sometimes. It is so different, in the best way. It plays with time, it explores why relationships (all kinds, not just romantic ones) sometimes die off - and it's funny! It made me think when I first saw it two years ago, and it's got me thinking still. I can't wait for Ross's next full length!

Oh my gosh, this play is terrific. Two lonely 11 year old boys - one living in the US and one living in the newly formed New Confederate States of America - become pen pals and the only good thing in each other's lives. Beautiful and heartbreaking, Scott Sickles has created a world in the not-too-distant future which feels both terrible and entirely plausible. I loved these boys and this play. Now I have to read the rest of the trilogy. So, so good!

Tom Moran is just the best. In this 10 minute play, a girl from 2014 meets a guy from 1881 in a chat room and it is terrific. So funny and whimsical and it makes James Garfield seem like a pretty consequential guy to boot. I love it!
