  • James McLindon: Thrasher (10 minute excerpt of OFF THE PALISADES PARKWAY)

    An effortlessly believable piece that is a wonderful study of a friendship; it leaves you wanting more.

  • James McLindon: B Is For

    A wonderful piece about a difficult subject: Smart, sad, funny, brave, and poignant without ever crossing over to sentimentality. Very well done.

  • James McLindon: Phoenix Rising

    A reinterpretation of Greek mythology for our times, as thrilling as it is brilliant.

  • James McLindon: THERE IS NO OTHER PATH

    One of the funniest plays I've read in a while. Jerry Polner's take on cosmetic marketing is as hysterical as it is disturbing.

  • James McLindon: The New Abnormal (a Ten-Minute Zoom Comedy)

    I saw a recording of this play as a Zoom play in The Shelter Plays festival (theshelterplays.com). A very funny play that is all too meta and all too true. Watch it.

  • James McLindon: lift

    A delicately beautiful contemplation of dying and death, of how difficult it is to leave this world, and of how the right friend can help one find the way. Just lovely.

  • James McLindon: Seven Minutes in Heaven (a seven minute play)

    An utterly charming look at the most awkward seven minutes of ninth grade. A subjec that in other hands could have become trite is instead a very funny study of two very idiosyncratic characters.

  • James McLindon: A Harmony of Both

    This play is delightfully goofy and intelligent in equal measure. Its closing plea that we reengage with the natural world takes on a surprisingly different meaning to the housebound during this pandemic.

  • James McLindon: Sock Puppet Fetish Noir

    A truly inspired comedy, combining noir and sock puppets. Brilliantly funny.

  • James McLindon: How Are We Doing?

    This play in ten minutes manages to get at the heart of the despair so many of us are living we right and makes it look effortless. Astonishingly good.
