  • You Haven't Changed A Bit by Donna Hoke
    16 Feb. 2021
    “ This is such a sweet, touching play. I feel for Lottie and completely understand her resistance to all those high school reunions. Then, when she finally attends, she learns that all her friends, except Len, are gone. All that’s left are the memories. Donna Hoke has captured the mixture of emotions that go along with these gatherings; including that initial anxiety of stepping into a room of people you haven’t see in decades. This play is a gentle reminder to not wait because life passes by too quickly. ”
  • The Audition (A 10 minute play) by Ray Arsenault
    15 Feb. 2021
    “ Ray Arsenault has captured a truly poignant, life-altering moment in the characters’ lives by bringing them together in a bar at closing under the guise of an audition. The twist was perfectly timed and truly impactful. Arsenault’s well-crafted dialogue provides actors with a marvelous opportunity to dig into these roles and bring Raleigh and Rob to life on the stage. ”
  • The Deal - 10 Minute Play by Ryan Kaminski
    9 Feb. 2021
    “ “The Deal” by Ryan Kaminski is an intriguing short play set in the deep south in the 1950s. Several twists kept me wondering how it would turn out and I loved that Vivian had the upper hand in the end. ”
  • Don't Be A Scrooge - a ten minute play by James C. Ferguson
    3 Feb. 2021
    “ James Ferguson has put a witty spin on an old Christmas favorite. I loved the premise of the Cratchit’s trying to quietly leave town to start a new life away from Scrooge, but here he comes on his daily visit with yet another turkey! The modern-day language mixed in with the Victorian-isms will have audiences rolling. There are so many wonderful lines throughout the play (too many to mention), but I especially enjoyed Mrs. Cratchit’s snark toward Scrooge. A delightful holiday play for the whole family! ”
  • Everlasting Chocolate Therapy by Steven Hayet
    26 Jan. 2021
    “ “Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory” was one of my favorite movies! Steven Hayet has put an amusing spin on what happened 15 years after Mr. Wonka took Charlie under his wing. A pretty sweet gig for Chuck (who has taken on Willy’s mannerisms and flipping words around), not so great for Bo, who is still blue. I love Bo’s line, “Who’s going to have a crush on a blueberry?” The play leaves the audience wondering (and hoping?) that Chuck can work some magic and return Bo to her former self. A fun short play! ”
  • Physical Education by Maripat Allen
    22 Jan. 2021
    “ Two college students in love. Two sets of parents who object. An affair. A “cougar.” What could go wrong? Maripat has written a one-act comedy full of secrets and twists. The tension builds throughout the play—becoming rather thorny when all of the characters come together in a cramped dorm room—and concludes with a satisfying ending. My husband and I were in the audience for the production at DivaFest 2019 in Indianapolis and thoroughly enjoyed this zany romp! ”
  • Owning Shakespeare (Ten Minute Play) by Marcia Eppich-Harris
    22 Jan. 2021
    “ Poor Reverend Gastrell. He just wants Shakespeare’s bones, but the good people of Stratford-upon-Avon are not having it. Marcia has written an entertaining historic play with a fun, satisfying twist. History buffs, Shakespeare fans, and short play enthusiasts will enjoy “Owning Shakespeare”. ”
  • Standby, a 10-minute play by Susan Middaugh
    12 Jan. 2021
    “ There is much to love about Susan Middaugh's play, "Standby". Great humor, snappy dialogue, and a creative premise. All of the characters are wonderful, and I especially liked customer service rep, Virge–very funny! This ten-minute play is sure to be a hit! ”
  • SUSPENDED ANIMATION by Rachael Carnes
    5 Jan. 2021
    “ “Suspended Animation” is a witty modern-day take on Sleeping Beauty (any deconstructed fairy tale and I’m in!). The dreaded job interview (who can’t relate to this?!), the 100-year gap in her resume, turning office supplies into an outfit with her wand...wonderful! And an all-too-real twist at the end that Prince Charming isn’t so charming after all. A fun, imaginative monologue, to be sure! ”
  • The Kiss (a ten minute play) by Mark Harvey Levine
    5 Jan. 2021
    “ A romantic comedy at its finest. Mark has written a lovely play that addresses a real-life dating concern: What if I’m a bad kisser?! What better way to resolve the problem than to test things out with your closest friend! References to spin the bottle, going for second base, a top-note of peppermint…. hilarious! I love this play! ”
