    Have you ever wondered if you and your partner were ever together in another life? If you are intriqued by reincarnation, past lives, and the Akashic Records, then this well-crafted creative one-act play is definitely for you. Intersting characters and a compelling plot propel the story forward to the satisfying ending. A must-see!

    Rachel Feeny-Williams’s wicked, wacky, and witty sense of humor is apparent throughout this one-act play. This hilarious piece is a roller coaster ride from start to finish. Two strong female roles and a delicate situation with some fun plot twist and turns all add up to a fabulous theatrical experience. Brava!
  • So am I
    25 Dec. 2023
    This short, poignant play reminds us how hard it is to be a parent and how hard coming-of-age can be in a world full of hypocrisy and double standards. I liked the characters and their heartfelt interactions. The love between the father and daughter permeates the entire piece.
  • The Uninvited
    25 Dec. 2023
    This moving monologue would make a great audition piece for any actor of any age. It is well-crafted, poetic, and hauntingly mesmerizing. What makes this piece unforgettable is the sense of hope that is woven throughout. Bravo!
  • THE DATING POOL, a one-act play for 5 women plus optional additional characters
    6 Mar. 2023
    A widow of a certain age contemplates whether she should jump back into the dating pool. She is visited by her former self at various ages, and the results are hilarious. I had the pleasure of reading this play and seeing it staged at Theatre Three's 24th Annual One-Act Festival. It is a fun read, but even more fun to see staged. Bravo!
  • AMUSING WILLIE...A TEN-MINUTE PLAY
    15 Oct. 2022
    In ten hilarious minutes, Donald Loftus, sums up the torture every playwright, even the most renowned ones, must endure to find their muse. The trinity of muses are witty, raunchy, and often spot-on with their critique of his new work. Memorable characters, great dialogue, and a terrific plot makes this play a winner! Bravo!
  • Blood Pact

    This psychological thriller is well-crafted and suspenseful. The characters are believable and the dialogue is biting and moves the plot forward with rapid speed all the way to the stunning finale. I would love to see this staged.
  • Above and Beyond
    6 Sep. 2022
    So many themes are packed into this short play, from following your dreams no matter what the cost, love of family, isolation, and the fear people feel when things seem out of their control. I loved the characters, a married couple who love and support each other, but are doing the long-distance thing, and by that I mean, she's an astronaut up in outer space and he's on Earth during the pandemic. This would work on Zoom as well as on stage. I would love to see this produced!
  • Rebirth in Albuquerque (radio play)
    7 Aug. 2022
    A beautiful radio play about death, grief, and coping with the unbearable heaviness of losing someone we love. In ten minutes, this short play tackles some heavyweight themes, and what it means to move on and live in the now. Two likable characters, a well-crafted plot, thought-provoking dialogue, and a great message of life after loss, the intimacy of a radio play is the perfect genre for this heartwarming script. Brava!
  • Overqualified
    19 Jul. 2022
    This short play reminded me why I chose to work for myself most of my adult life. Ms. Vansant brilliantly captures the angst, humiliation, and reality check one gets when they leave college and enter the real world. This is a perfect play for college festivals. Maybe a dose of reality before we leave college would serve us all well. Well-written with spot-on dialogue, I highly recommend this one-act! Brava!
