  • James McLindon: CRABS(DOT)COM

    Wonderfully absurdist piece that realizes the full comic potential of pubic lice, and it (they?) have a lot of potential. For anyone who ever had a bad break-up and went off the deep, deep end.

  • James McLindon: BANSHEE BUNGLE (from the AN IRISH HEART COLLECTION)

    A quietly chilling story about banshees and the souls -- or one soul at least -- whom they terrorize. A metaphor about fate, luck and our uncertain place in an uncertain world. Perfect for Halloween, or any other time.

  • James McLindon: LOVE SHOTS

    Misery may love company but in this play, company, in the form of Dennis and Rhoda, demands misery of Pru if she wants to remain their friend. A well wrought play that is funny until it's chilling.

  • James McLindon: A Mother's Privilege

    Warm and funny, with a hopeful message, this play takes on what is a divisive issue for some families and shows a way forward. Never underestimate the of ability of grandchildren to awaken the angels of our better nature.

  • James McLindon: Neighborhood Watch

    Providing a different POV to a well-known story creates so many comic opportunities and Matthew finds them all. A lot of fun.

  • James McLindon: The Drill (Or, Civil Defense Is No Defense): A Play Concerning the Life of Dorothy Day

    That rarest of things in our world: a consideration of abortion in which no one is demonized and our common humanity is foremost. It's a play you'll be thinking about long after you've finished it because it wisely raises far more questions that it tries to answer.

  • James McLindon: The Window

    As charming as it is absurd. As absurd as it is funny. A terrific piece with much more to it than first appears.

  • James McLindon: The Unbearable Lightness of Greening

    A very funny play for anyone who has ever considered dating outside their species, genus, ... or even kingdom. The best kind of absurdist humor.

  • James McLindon: Stick and Move

    A brilliant idea for a play, sort of ROCKY cross-pollinated with a rom com. And it comes with a message, that the rules and terms of engagement that many people swear by in the dating context are better off broken.

  • James McLindon: Playgroup (monologue)

    A funny and entertaining take on the drudgery and sacrifice of motherhood, and the small things that keep mothers (as well as fathers and the species) going.
