  • James McLindon: A MIDSUMMER NIGHT'S SLAM, a 10-minute LGBTQ+ comedy in modern language

    A clever take on a classic cleverly told. Funny and fun, but also substantive at the same time. Well worth a read or a production!

  • James McLindon: Talking Points

    Such a funny premise, the kind that makes you wish you had thought of it, and perfect execution. I'd love to see a production.

  • James McLindon: No Comment

    An all too true consideration of the impact of social media on our ability to think, feel and analyze. All in one minute.

  • James McLindon: The Third Person

    A great idea well-executed as a noir narrator comes to life and does more than just tell a story. Very funny.

  • James McLindon: Remembered

    I saw a Zoom reading of this play and was impressed, first that it's an inter-generational play in which the relationship is not the usual quasi-parent-child one, but simply that of two adults of different ages and life experiences. That's rare by itself, but the skillfulness and delicacy of the dialogue make it even more so. It's the sort of play that you want to read after you see it, and are well rewarded for doing so. The image of the murmur of the wind in the loose windows being the sound of the house dreaming will stay with me.

  • James McLindon: Three Anne Franks

    A brilliant meditation on how history often tells us more about the historian than the past. All that and laugh-out-loud funny.

  • James McLindon: Masking Our Blackness

    A very funny play ... right up until it's not. Powerful and troubling and one that stays with you.

  • James McLindon: Inevitable

    A comedy for anyone who has ever overthought a relationship or a situation only to realize that they haven't even scratched the surface and life is just a step into the void. So funny and one that stays with you.

  • James McLindon: Crush (10 min)

    The story of a cockroach and its fatal attraction, told through interpretive dance and beat poetry and all in five minutes. Wonderfully weird!

  • James McLindon: cara has a hole in her head

    A wonderful piece, savagely funny sometimes, deeply disturging at others. I suspect it is one that will stay with me long after I have read it.
