  • Vanna Helsing by Christopher Lindsay
    8 May. 2023
    “ I had the pleasure of watching the recording of the October 2022 staged reading of VANNA HELSING performed at Center for the Arts in Bonita Springs, FL. A wonderful reading of a fun play by Christopher Lindsay! All talented actors, especially Frank Blocker playing Balaam (the audience clearly enjoyed his performance). If you have a chance, check it out on YouTube! ”
  • ZERO PERCENT CHANCE OF VISIBILITY short-form musical by Arianna Rose and Marj O'Neill-Butler by Arianna Rose
    8 May. 2023
    “ What a delightful short musical. The story of Elena and Lorna, along with fabulous lyrics in “Zero Percent Chance of Visibility,” says it all. These sassy, cheeky ladies of a certain age aren’t going to let life pass them by; they’re going to charge forward with gusto. This would be such fun to see on stage. Well done, Marj and Arianna. ”

  • ONE FOOT IN FRONT OF THE OTHER by Paul Smith
    19 Apr. 2023
    “ With age, comes wisdom in its simplest form (the title pretty much nails it). Expert advice from high-priced gurus, fancy lotions, herbal teas, and expensive footwear won’t necessarily ensure you make it to the finish line. A long-distance run, like daily life, is about taking it one step at a time. Audience members of all ages will enjoy ONE FOOT IN FRONT OF THE OTHER by Paul Smith. ”
  • Fridge by Jennifer O'Grady
    11 Apr. 2023
    “ After reading FRIDGE by Jennifer O’Grady, I have a new appreciation for appliances’ feelings, especially those domestic devices that want to do a good job, but are often on the fritz (I was rooting for “Fridge” the whole time)! It’s easy to see why so many theatres have selected this lighthearted short play. ”
  • A Kiss is Just a Kiss by Claudia Haas
    5 Apr. 2023
    “ Life takes unexpected twists and turns, but deep-seated wishes and desires often stay with us. A KISS IS JUST A KISS by Claudia Haas is a touching look at what happens when Eva and Jake finally have the chance fulfill a childhood dream. I like that we are left to wonder what that kiss means for their future. ”
  • Rats - A Spooky Short Story by Firen Williams
    19 Mar. 2023
    “ I love spooky Halloween stories and this short monologue, RATS, by Firen Williams is definitely that. Set in 1872, it was easy to imagine a prim and proper Mrs. Minerva Todd perched at a desk writing this letter "To whomsoever can read,” telling the tale of how she ended up in her current predicament. A fun piece for a Halloween-themed festival. ”
  • This is the 74th Cover Letter I've Written this Month Please for the Love of God Hire ME by Cole Hunter Dzubak
    15 Mar. 2023
    “ I had the pleasure of seeing Cole Hunter Dzubak’s play this month during First Run Theatre’s 2023 Spectrum Short Play Festival in St. Louis. The actors were fabulous in their portrayal of job-seekers ranging from recent college graduate to a more “seasoned” employee vying for a job at the same company. This play is loaded with humor and audience members clearly related to these well-written characters and their situations. THIS IS THE 74th COVER LETTER I’VE WRITTEN THIS MONTH PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD HIRE ME is a plus for any short play festival. ”
  • Monday's Child by Rachel Feeny-Williams
    6 Mar. 2023
    “ MONDAY’S CHILD is an adorable short play with roles perfect for children, although adults playing these parts would be fun, too. Centered around a children’s poem, Rachel Feeny-Williams has included wonderful adult-level humor (and some important life lessons) that will keep audience members of all ages entertained. I would love to see this performed! ”
  • Meet Me in the Endive, a 10-minute play by Susan Middaugh
    17 Feb. 2023
    “ Reading MEET ME IN THE ENDIVE brought back memories of my late mother’s love of gardening and sharing the summer’s bounty of fresh vegetables with our neighbors. In only ten pages, Susan Middaugh has perfectly captured the pain of loss, the joy of gardening, and the beginning of a friendship between Midwestern neighbors. A lovely play for the whole family. ”
