  • John Kelly: Twirling

    A touching two-hander (one character being a younger child) about simple joys, love, and... sadly... loss. Not of life, but rather the joy of life. Very simple, very straightforward, and very nicely done. Brava!

  • John Kelly: Double Sided Coin

    A young, terminally ill woman meets a stranger with some interesting views on life and death, heaven and hell, good and evil. This fine two-hander is sure to give you something to ponder long after the last of its lines are uttered. Recommended!

  • John Kelly: Hattie's Hubcaps

    A play about a crazy lady... no... an independent woman - of a certain age - who has decided to live life not on anyone else's terms, but her own. Hattie's Hubcaps is a charming, touching, wonderfully simple and direct two-hander for actresses - also of a certain age. Do yourself a favor and look this work over. Brava!

  • John Kelly: The Sea Turtle

    A beautiful, oh so touching tale of loss and love. Author Eric Duhon has a wonderful gift for simple, direct, and moving dialogue that is instantly recognizable as being not only suitable, but perfectly spot on. Very well done!

  • John Kelly: The Inevitability of Sasha

    Is 35 an age to be celebrated or avoided? That depends whether your Katie or Sasha... or whether or not you've a secret you've been keeping hidden for years. The Inevitability of Sasha is a wonderful two-hander with solid roles for two women. It's about a serious topic, but is joyous in its presentation. Very nicely done. Brava!

  • John Kelly: A Right Way to Fold a Fitted Sheet

    Relationships are never easy. Never. And when an event that could be life changing comes about, they're even more difficult. This simple yet affecting two-hander takes a look at how we communicate during such times. It's real... it's recognizable... it's relevant. And also very good. Give it a look.

  • John Kelly: The Deal - 10 Minute Play

    A modern re-telling of the Faustian legend - with a twist at the end. A most enjoyable two-hander that provides performers with fine, meaty roles to interpret. Well done!

  • John Kelly: SPITBALLS

    A gentle, faith-based, two-hander about suicide and hopelessness, but also about life and hope. Two young outcasts share a few unexpected moments on the top floor of a parking garage. Nicely done. Brava, Laurie!

  • John Kelly: Inner Child Work

    A mother and daughter learn a great deal from a simple little role play. A broken relationship moves toward mending in this superbly simple, moving play. Everything about this play - the characters, situation, dialogue - everything is first rate. Highly recommended.

  • John Kelly: The Misfit Mantra

    A bottle of bourbon brings together two misfit bohemians, would-be artists whose only connection to one another is a missing roommate/ex-boyfriend and his truly horrid painting of a smiling star. Neither of these misfits is successful. Neither is confident. But for a brief moment, they find unity and strength in their response to the revolting artwork. Or do they...?
    The characters are wonderfully interesting, the dialogue tight and witty. Give this play a look! You'll be glad you did.
