  • The Golden Rule
    18 Jan. 2022
    A short play that packs a strong punch. Dan Taube tackles a timeless topic that we've all experienced all too often in the workplace: bullies who like to make hardworking, good people's lives hell. Throw in some white privilege and a woman disempowering another woman, and you have the makings of a great play. The dialogue is biting, and the ending will leave the audience feeling like justice will be done. Bravo!
  • Interview With The Playwright
    17 Jan. 2022
    Any writer who has interviewed a celebrity of any sorts knows that the whole experience can be an over-the-top stressful and scary one. I love the way the journalist, Micah, walks on eggshells around an immortal playwright known as Clara. Set on Halloween, you know that there has to be some supernatural things going on, and they just add to the drama and suspense in this well-crafted, 10-minute play.
  • The Bear - Beginnings
    3 Jan. 2022
    A beautifully-crafted monologue play told from the viewpoint of a teddy bear as he makes a confusing, chaotic, and frightening journey during WW II. The unusual character, poetic language, and dramatic storyline make this a riveting piece. Bravo!
  • Chasing the Train
    19 Dec. 2021
    A young woman’s self-esteem takes a beating, and everyone she turns to for guidance or help seems to fail her. She becomes obsessed about her weight, as so many women often do, and her whole life starts falling apart. A riveting short play that is thought-provoking and timely. I would love to see this staged.
  • The Bag Under the Bed
    16 Dec. 2021
    A hilarious look at marriage, sex, love, and intimacy. Great dialogue, believable characters, and a fun plot make this short play a memorable one. A great vehicle for two actors to show off their physical comedy skills.
  • Visitation
    10 Dec. 2021
    A loving mother, imprisoned by regrets, remorse, and guilt, is visited by her son. Memories, some good, some bad surface in this poignant, one-act play. Heartrending, this is a play that needs to be shown in schools and colleges throughout the world. Bravo!
  • CAMPUS CAMPER: A COLLEGE MONOLOGUE
    10 Dec. 2021
    This monologue is a great vehicle for a young actor. The dialogue is funny, real, gritty, and multilayered. The character feels alienated, frightened, and all alone in a less than welcoming college atmosphere because their political opinions make them an outcast. Thought-provoking and well-crafted, I would love to see this staged.
  • A Conversation About Mom
    9 Dec. 2021
    This short play, featuring a deadbeat dad and a resentful son, feels like you are watching two prize fighters going nine rounds. The well-crafted dialogue, laced with insults and accusations, packs one gut-wrenching punch after another. Bravo!
  • Turkey Baby
    22 Nov. 2021
    It’s Thanksgiving time and who could resist a play called “Turkey Baby?” This two-character, one-act play is funny, contemporary, and well-crafted. The mother/daughter relationship rings true, and the dialogue is realistic and fast-paced. I would love to see this staged.
  • HOLLY (Audio Play)
    18 Nov. 2021
    A play about choices. The hard ones that leave us feeling damned if we do and damned if we don’t. The characters are well-developed and believable. The plot has an interesting twist, and the ending is heartrending. This audio play is thought-provoking and compelling.
