  • The Guest Room by Jacquelyn Floyd-Priskorn
    23 Aug. 2023
    “ Jacquelyn Priskorn has penned a moving play about May and Dan navigating the “after” of every parent’s worst nightmare. THE GUEST ROOM is certain to stay with audience members long after the house lights come up. ”
  • Mick and Ernie go to Therapy by Mike Byham
    15 Aug. 2023
    “ Two hapless thieves on the run suddenly find themselves in couple’s therapy (what a fabulous premise!). This situation is certainly not what they expected when they dashed into a building to get away from the bobbies, but maybe therapy is exactly what these longtime friends have needed to clear the air. MICK AND ERNIE GO TO THERAPY by Mike Byham is full of brilliant humor from start to finish. ”
  • THE BEAUTIFUL OGRE AND OTHER FAIRY TALES (ten-minute play) by Dwayne Yancey
    5 Aug. 2023
    “ A fabulous twist on the traditional fairy tale bedtime story. The young daughter asking logic-based questions as her father *tries* to tell her a story immediately pulled me. “Once upon a time” raised the question in her mind: “Didn’t they have carbon dating?” – to figure out when the story took place…and the fun doesn’t stop there! THE BEAUTIFUL OGRE AND OTHER FAIRY TALES by Dwayne Yancey is full of humorous dialogue and opportunities for actors to shine. A perfect play for the whole family. ”
  • The Mother of All Fairy Tales by Neal Reynolds
    25 Jul. 2023
    “ THE MOTHER OF ALL FAIRY TALES jumps right into the action when Jessica wakes her soundly sleeping teenager at three o’clock a.m. to watch the fairy tale wedding of William and Kate. Mom (very excited) and teen daughter (not so much) kicks off a heated discussion about love, marriage, and family. Neal Reynolds has written a touching play with some warm, fuzzy mother-daughter moments. This would be perfect for any festival, especially those with a Mother’s Day theme. ”
  • GHOULS CAN'T DO CANDY - MONOLOGUE by Vivian Lermond
    13 Jul. 2023
    “ Vivian Lermond had me at the title, and of course, chocoholic that I am, the Ghoul’s desire to “savor the flavor of a Cadbury’s or a Hershey Bar!” GHOULS CAN’T DO CANDY is a fabulous monologue filled with family-friendly humor, and wonderful alliterations and rhyme. Lermond’s descriptive language brought this Halloween monologue to life. This script is a real treasure and perfect for any short play/monologue festival. ”
  • Letters From May (ten-minute musical) by Kara Cutruzzula
    5 Jul. 2023
    “ When a character steps through the veil of the great beyond to help tell a story, I’m hooked. Through poignant dialogue and haunting lyrics, Kristoffer Bjarke and Kara Cutruzzula have captured the touching story of an artist’s rise to fame—and all that it entails—and the debate surrounding the mysterious subject of her last painting. LETTERS FROM MAY is a wonderfully written short musical that will stay with the audience long after the lights come up. ”
  • Sunset Skies by John Kelly
    23 Jun. 2023
    “ Another touching park bench play by John J. Kelly. Anna and Evelyn, two fabulous ladies of a certain age, remind us that there is beauty all around us and can (and should) be enjoyed with all of our senses. Delightful dialogue, wry humor, and a scoundrel named “Francois” keep SUNSET SKIES interesting from start to finish. ”
  • A Senior Moment by Susan Middaugh
    14 Jun. 2023
    “ Susan Middaugh has captured the uncertainty of stepping back into the dating scene at a later age in her touching short play A SENIOR MOMENT. Although Helen and Tom have their differences, I finished reading the script with my fingers crossed that these two characters make it as a couple! ”
  • Three Bags Full: A Short Musical by Lily Dwoskin
    2 Jun. 2023
    “ Based on the children’s nursery rhyme, THREE BAGS FULL is a lovely story about the spirit of giving. Hats off to Lily Dwoskin and Xiaodan Zhang for this creative musical filled with love, friendship, and fabulous lyrics that tug at your heartstrings. This is one for the whole family to see…and probably more than once. ”
  • Ode to Winter by David Patton
    12 May. 2023
    “ A poetic piece by David Patton. The speaker welcomes Spring, but says farewell to Winter; not the regrettable parts of that season (and we know what those entail), but this: “Ah, but Winter, I shall miss your silences.” Lovely. ”
