What a beautiful monologue about art and aging and letting go of dreams. It’s bittersweet and a fantastic opportunity for an older actor. Lovely work!

Well, this is delightful. Even Satan has an inbox full of rejections from theater companies. John Mabey has written a fun one page play that had me giggling.

What a gorgeous, heartbreaking play. "Almost Pregnant" is one woman's tale of her struggle with infertility, told with the assistance of two puppets and a violinist, and it is GREAT. It perfectly captures the difficulties and dehumanization women who have trouble conceiving face, and it was a much-needed reminder for me that many women out there would give anything to be able to complain about having to quarantine with two young children. I will be giving my kids extra big hugs in the morning for sure. You should definitely read this play.

"Playing with Fired" is too much fun. I loved it from start to finish, and every twist along the way was perfect. It deserves all the honors it has received, and more.

"Noir Hamlet" is delightful! It's exactly what its title implies, and it could not be more well done. It's clever and fun and very silly at times. I would love to see it live, especially that final showdown. I enjoyed every last one of John Minigan's words (Words? Words.)

This play is a HOOT. Saint Nicholas and Father Christmas had me giggling before Santa Claus even showed up. What a fun, imaginative piece! I would love, love, love to see this one in an evening of short plays, Christmastime or not.

Wow, what a great play this is! It weaves together art and inspiration and identity and faith into this gorgeous, engaging story about the creation of a church in the French Alps during the 1940s filled - much to the pope's chagrin - with religious imagery created by modern artists. I loved both the play and the results of the Google image search I just completed, looking at photos of the church and the artwork that Chris Leyva brought to life so vividly in "All Grace." Sooo good!

What a sweet, silly play! Two people who march to the beat of a different drum happen to sit on the same bench at lunchtime and realize they just might hear the same beat. There's a lot here for actors to work with, and the simple location (park bench) makes it easy to stage. This would be a really cute one to see live!

Nineveh delves into church politics among members of one of the more intolerant strains of Christianity, and how they attempt to square their beliefs with the world they inhabit. It is a quick, fascinating read in which characters I first saw as villains became heroes, characters I first saw as heroes became villains, and other characters just struggle to survive among them. Very interesting work, with some surprises along the way!

Oh my gosh, what a fun play! I especially loved the way Facebook posts were incorporated in between scenes and slowly discovering how characters were connected to each other as the play unfolded. I would also love a spinoff play about Ed and the cast of "Crazy for Abe" (a Sondheim musical about the Lincolns) because I smiled every time Ed talked about the show he was in. So much fun! And there's murder, too!
