  • ACROSS A CROWDED ROOM
    10 Feb. 2024
    F.J. Hartland immediately pulls the audience into this play with a humorous start to a couple’s relationship, and we continue riding an emotional roller-coaster of loving, hopeful moments, as well as those darker times many of us know all too well. ACROSS A CROWDED ROOM beautifully weaves together these characters’ perspectives on their experiences as a couple, and it all begins with a decision to cross a crowded room. A wonderful one-act play with universally appealing themes and a genius twist.
  • Treasure (a one-minute play)
    6 Feb. 2024
    Well, the twist in this play hit me right in the heart. Our dear sweet dog has been gone many years, but there are still days when I feel that raw sting of loss. Fur Baby lovers everywhere will be scrambling for a tissue after seeing (or reading) TREASURE.
  • Cat Audition
    2 Feb. 2024
    Sully the Cat’s got snark and then some. Martha Garvey has captured cat attitude perfectly in this monologue. A fun play for any short festival.
  • Your Table is Ready
    23 Jan. 2024
    Hints at the underlying premise of YOUR TABLE IS READY are sprinkled into the script with a light hand leading up to the Gentleman’s declaration to the kind, patient diner: “If you will follow me, your place is ready.” A power play in a few short pages.
  • What You Really Want
    21 Jan. 2024
    Ziva is getting the third degree, but this interrogation is not what it seems. A surprise reveal of Ziva’s true identity and what she is trying to accomplish provide several twists, turns, and laughs throughout this short play by Chris Lindsay.
  • You’ll Always Find Me In The Kitchen At Parties
    17 Jan. 2024
    Cassie and Greg share a few private minutes in the kitchen as she finalizes the details for a big gathering of friends and family. But the reason for that get-together sneaks up on you; a slow reveal leading the audience to a final sweet, hand-to-heart moment. A touching play by Rebecca Cockcroft.
  • A WHITE CHRISTMAS (from the CRACKED UP CHRISTMAS COLLECTION)
    12 Jan. 2024
    A WHITE CHRISTMAS is the perfect post-Christmas venting session…and Cassie doesn’t hold back where the in-laws are concerned. Wonderful rhyming, alliteration, humor, and a satisfying ending makes this a thoroughly enjoyable read.
  • THE LAST COOKIE
    11 Jan. 2024
    A cute one-minute monologue by Laurie Allen. Something tells me this gent’s earlier cookie blunder will surely be forgiven with Double Stuffs in the house.
  • Valentine's Day - True love lasts forever.
    28 Dec. 2023
    James Hutchison beautifully weaves together past and present as Tom and Heather share memories of the first time they met, and confirming their love for each other. VALENTINE’S DAY tugs at the heartstrings and provides a bit of reassurance that true love lasts forever, and beyond.
  • Mother
    15 Dec. 2023
    There is a lot of humor and sweetness packed into this short play. In case you were wondering how the “heavenly” match-up between children and parents works, give MOTHER a read. I thoroughly enjoyed this fun play by Jacquelyn Priskorn!
