DEATH OF A MANURE SALESMAN takes us to an unusual grave site ceremony. A short script offering big laughs and lots of room for great physical comedy! Well done!

PASSWORD SHARING is one terrific monologue - a fast, original and very funny piece of writing! An actor's dream! I would love to see this performed live!

Love the full flavor of the macabre? Smith serves up the unexpected in DINNER, a tightly structured short play with a delicious ending. A fabulous play with juicy roles for mature actors, DINNER would be a fine choice for any short play festival!

A beautiful bit of subtextual storytelling that any actor would love to perform! Webb artfully speaks to the human experience of near misses. Great writing!

If you want a feel-good holiday play, CHRISTMAS STORIES will give you a sweet dose of seasonal family fun. Smart dialogue, distinctive character voices and a clever plot twist make this a great play for any holiday shorts festival!

When Tess takes on the task of helping her love-interest Kip with a "clear out" of the old stuff in his life, she does so with detente, and with most rewarding results. A well-written gem of a play, aided and abetted by snappy dialogue, with a satisfying resolution.

Mabey takes the "ticking clock" technique to new heights in this fun New Year's Eve rom-com. When battlelines are drawn between Father Time and a disgruntled young woman attorney, tensions mount. But a magical pause button makes time stand still and gives them both a new chance to embrace change and the possibilities of ringing in a whole new and better year, I would love to see this production!

Revenge makes for good motive and plot, and THE MEADOW, featuring strong female roles, is a fast-moving little thriller with twists and turns that are downright delicious! A killer of a tale!

If you are in the market to produce a unique holiday play, THE SANTA THING may be ... just the thing! Such a fast-paced, fun, quirky little play, loaded with subtext! A holiday treat!

When t comes to grief, we all have our own coping skills. Williams taps into our universal memories of loss and delivers us all to a healing place. A poignant play that resonates!
