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!

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.

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!

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!

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!

This little slice-of-life play captures the sense of angst and fear all humans must grapple with when they are thrust back onto Earth School. Is this fantasy or truth disguised as fantasy? That is the question everyone watching this play will ask themselves. I love the witty dialogue and the characters. The best part of this play is the versatility it allows for in casting, and how the play would change with those casting differences. Since it is a short play, watching it with several different casts in one sitting, would be a hoot!

A great, four-minute play about that transformational moment in a creative young woman’s life when she announces to the world, OK, to her mother, that she isn’t going to take the safe path in choosing her career, but rather, she will follow her bliss, wherever that leads. A poignant, play about a mother/daughter bond that is heartwarming to witness. You aced this, Arianna!

A fascinating play about the power of suggestion and the power of the mind. A great play for three women. One of the characters is a kind of hypnotist, who appears to have the uncanny ability to make anyone believe anything. Sensuous, seductive, and captivating, this play is perfect for Zoom. I am sure this ten-minute play would leave the audience mesmerized. Brava!

“The Deal” has some of the most riveting dialogue that you will ever encounter. A great two-person, one-act play with lots of suspense throughout that continues right up to the surprise ending. The play has a third character, who is dead, but his being hovers like a ghost over the entire play. Bravo!

A funny, ridiculous look at how hard people try to make a baby, which shouldn’t be rocket science, but somehow this couple has made it seem like you need to go to crazy extremes to concieve. The dialogue is witty, the plot is fast paced, and the characters are likable and believable. This would be a great play to see staged, and I would love to watch the audience’s reaction to this play, which tackles a timely issue.
