A very funny play about life in America today, and the way grown daughters seem to find everything about their mothers irritating. Yet, every now and again throughout this well-crafted short play, there are tender moments when these two women connect, and the love between them is palpable. Two likable characters that are believable and easy to relate to.

Our past relationships often come back to haunt us, and this very funny, moving, full-length dramedy , complete with three over-the-top ghosts, proves this point. Fully-developed characters, with a riveting plot, and witty dialogue, “Paranormal Love,” is modern theater at its best! Brava, Jennifer O’Grady!

Being 18, young and infatuated with someone twice your age, then passionately expressing your deepest feelings, even though the result wasn’t what you hoped for or what you wanted, takes courage and a leap of faith. A moving piece about unrequited love that leaves you hopeful that one day this young man will find his true soul mate.

Funny, surprising, poignant one-act about a runaway bride, who suddenly doesn’t know if she is straight or gay. Impulsively she lands at the doorstep of a college friend, still dressed in her wedding gown, and spills out her heart. Yes, life is messy, friendships are murky, and memory can sometimes play strange tricks on us. Two great parts for women! Loved it!

I had the pleasure of seeing this play as produced by Three Three’s Off-Stage/On-Line series and just loved it. Reading it, I got to further appreciate the rich subtext beneath each well-conceived bit of dialogue. I especially loved the character of the dad, a man of few words, but the ones he speaks are filled with love and understanding. Timely, thought-provoking, and well-crafted, this play is appropriate for all ages.

Buyer beware for sure! Madame Claire, a firm believer that a sucker is born every minute, is destined to capitalize on that truism! This play is smartly written and really funny. Well-paced and well-crafted this play will have you laughing out loud at the foibles of human behavior.

This one-woman show is a great vehicle for a versatile actress to showcase her talents. Funny, sad, ironic, and relatable this monologue reads well, but it is truly theatrical in nature and meant to be seen and experienced. I could see it being performed on a video platform as well. Great for auditions and to use in acting classes! Bravo!

This short, monologue play proves: Karma is a bitch. We can sympathize with Angie, and her distain for her dying dad. Decades of bearing witness to her father’s unrelenting drunkenness, violence, and anger enacted upon her and her mother, have finally come to a close. Perfectly set at Christmastime, with her father in a coma and her mother in a better place, Angie can finally find some peace. Joy to the world!

A moving, short memory play about love, loss, longing, and death. Beautifully written, passionate, funny at times, and then painfully tender the next moment. Anyone who has done “the-love-lost-and-found-and-lost-again saga” can relate to this heart-wrenching play, which proves: Death ends a life, but not a relationship. Philip, thanks for writing this.

A brilliant concept: Seven short plays, scanning decades, which can be enjoyed separately, or they can all be produced together creating a sense that you are watching seven scenes from a one-act play. A father and two sons, who try, but don’t always succeed to understand each other, struggle with their own issues as they try to navigate their way through life. The dialogue is funny, biting, and well-paced. I would love to see this staged! Bravo!
