A fun play about living life to the fullest (“Excited! Energized! Euphoric! All the ‘E’ words.”) and doing it with the one you love. Mabey has created relatable characters and a humorous scenario that kept me wondering: “Will Jules and Cameron make the jump?”

A lighthearted look at how things really happen when we arrive at the Pearly Gates. Garonzik has created two wonderful characters and humorous dialogue that make this a play audiences will thoroughly enjoy. I loved the twist and that spunky 81-year-old Lilly learns what is most important in her life.

Eric’s old Western movie spoof, The Gunfighter and the Clown, is loaded with wonderful humor and he has nailed the lingo. The title was enough to pull me in. Actors will have a great time bringing these characters to life. And the miming clown…hilarious!

Chris Lindsay's play is a touching story about recognizing the love of your life--ancient Greece-style! “Achilles Heel” is filled with wonderful lines and subtle humor. A ten-minute gem!

Rachael has written a short play gem filled with great lines from start to finish! I loved the part about Lonny going to the campground in search of hair! “Me say bigger blob, “Me artist! Me need hair!” Actors are sure to have a ball bringing these characters to life!

A poignant moment in the characters’ lives as they discuss the subject of love: what is ahead for young Danika, and once was (still is) for older Morty. A touching short play by John Kelly.

What a fantastic premise! Each one of Irene Pynn’s unique characters creates for some hilarious interactions on stage and her snappy dialogue keeps this comedy moving. Love it!

Melody DeRogatis has penned a lovely romantic comedy about learning to navigate a new relationship and trusting your heart. I enjoyed the negotiation about whether to move forward based on their astrological signs and the audience is left to wonder if Aris can overcome her Scorpio vs. Leo dilemma.

John Kelly has captured the beautiful imagery of a snowy moonlit night as April shares the memory of her first waltz—The Snow Waltz—with her beloved August more than fifty years ago. And through Harold, she is able to relive that special dance. A wonderfully poignant play.

Maripat Allen has truly captured the anxiety of being stuck in a box several floors up in her comedic play “Stuck.” (Been there, done that!) Convincing characters and witty dialogue will have audiences leaning forward in anticipation of what happens next. A fun addition to any one-act festival.
