Um, I love this. So funny, so awkward. It had the potential to become something very raunchy, but instead it was surprisingly sweet. The dialogue is smart and the premise is terrific. I would love to see this on stage!

"I Don't" is delightful. A runaway bride shows up in her ex-boyfriend's apartment (because the last place anyone would look for you is the best place to go) to enlist his help in her getaway. If I saw this in an evening of short plays, it would be one of the ones I tell people about afterward. But I am very bad at retelling stories, so you should just read this for yourself.

What a powerful monologue, speaking to the horrors of American gun violence. A wonderful, devastating piece for a young actor.

A Civil War play focusing on the women left behind while the men go off to war, "The Spoilin's" follows a house full of female relatives just trying to survive when a mysterious stranger arrives... followed by another. A quick, interesting read!

Oh my goodness, I devoured this play! With quick dialogue and a plot full of surprises, "In the Slush" is a treat from start to finish. It was one step ahead of me the whole time, and I loved it.

If you like dark comedies, "Strangers on a Train" is for you. Two people strike up a conversation after their train is delayed because someone committed suicide by jumping in front of it (really ruining everyone's plans for the day), and things escalate from there. And escalate... and escalate...

A blackmail rendezvous on the Staten Island Ferry - what's not to love? "The Actress" has several surprising twists and an ending that made me smile. It's a fun, quick play that would be easy to stage and cheap to produce. Nice work!

What a beautiful play. "Ghosts of Whitechapel" follows the five victims of Jack the Ripper as they tell their stories - without ever saying his name. It is moving and haunting and empowering as well, as these women reclaim their lives and their stories. Such lovely work!

As a former US history teacher, I am this play's target audience. I was really hoping it would be good, and it WAS. Very smart and very funny while still being very factual - quite a feat! It had me giggling, and it left me thinking about what makes a legacy and why. Delightful work!

What a quick, smart, funny play! The Tooth Fairy has been given a bad review, and she will NOT let it stand. Emily McClain's play was a delight from start to finish. I would love to see it on stage.
