- You'll be Missed, Stephen Sondheim by22 Apr. 2023“ This short, poignant monologue is long on emotional triggers. Such a gift to an actor to explore the backstory of the character and how the music of Sondheim gifted him with fortitude and the ability to get past his life challenges. Lovely! ”
- Go Knights! (Ten Minute) by22 Apr. 2023“ Take a classic theme (rejection), add a well-developed, conflict-driven, believable character arc, a most satisfying resolution, and what do you get? A wonderful 10-minute play! Marvelous roles for senior actors and a great choice for inclusion in any short play festival! ”
- To Fetch a Pail of Water by22 Apr. 2023“ If you are looking for an "audience favorite" at a 10-minue play festival, try TO FETCH A PAIL OF WATER. Fast, funny and full of opportunities for physical comedy! Put this little gem in your "must read" queue! ”
- Ode to Winter by8 Apr. 2023“ Patton captures the rhythm of words in this short, wonderfully visual monologue. A lovely, poetic bit of writing! ”
- My BFF died by8 Apr. 2023“ When someone we love dies, we struggle to find the words of eulogy. Patton does just that in an honest, very relatable stream-of-conscious. A poignant, touching monologue! ”
- I've got a little list by8 Apr. 2023“ What a delicious Dave Patton rant and rail against "the machine"! This monologue so aptly captures the state of a global divide between the 1% and the working class. A perfect, thoughtful piece for a short play festival dedicated to doing a deep dive into the topic of social injustice. ”
- Aunt Nellie's Two Cents Worth by28 Mar. 2023“ This short "slice of life" two-hander, set in 1950 Bible Belt Indiana, gives us a lovely sliver of Hoosier sugar cream pie and the less sweet flavor of religious prejudice. Nellie and Flo give us pause to think and re-evaluate society's perspectives in the 21st century, and to question the reality that old bias still lives and still divides. I enjoyed the read. ”
- Remembering Margot by19 Mar. 2023“ Haas has given us a powerful, poignant story that gets inside our heads and hearts and won't let go! Her re-imagining of Margot Frank and the dynamics of her world and relationships is exquisite. MARGOT CHOSE ANNE is a play that paints a beautiful picture of remembrance, and deserves to come to life on the stage! ”
- Chute! by12 Mar. 2023“ CHUTE! is a bit of fresh air! Fast-paced and powerful! Newsham takes on a conflict-driven story and delivers a serious topic with finesse! This gem of a ten-minute play deserves a berth in any short play festival! ”
