  • Be That As It May by Andrew Martineau
    18 Apr. 2021
    “ With a fun cast of characters, a zany plot filled with twists and turns, and witty dialogue this play would certainly earn the Audience Favorite award in any ten-minute festival. I would love to see this staged! ”
  • Window (a monologue) by Lee R. Lawing
    17 Apr. 2021
    “ I always love a good monologue play. They offer us a window into someone's soul, and this short play makes us fall in love with Peter, an OCD man, who has found his calling - cleaning the windows of buildings. He takes pride in his craft, and we come to see him as a hardworking, caring, human being, who honestly wants to make this this world a more beautiful place. I would love to see this staged. ”
  • The Waters of Her Noblest Rivers by Andrew Martineau
    17 Apr. 2021
    “ This short, one-act play feels amazingly large in scope. The characters are rich and fully realized, and the language is soulful and poetic. The two scenes, at first seemingly unrelated, flow together like the noblest of rivers. Simple to stage, this breathtakingly beautiful play, is complex, captivating, and creative. Bravo! ”
  • Finding Zeus by Jack Rushton
    27 Feb. 2021
    “ This award-winning, short, one-act, poetic play weaves Greek mythology with one of our own beloved, modern-day mythological superheroes to create a rich theatrical tapestry. Funny, touching, and poignant, Charles and Michael remind us to look at our long-term lovers with new eyes to rediscover all the wonderful magic that drew us together in the first place. There are many memorable lines in this play, but my favorite one: Time is kryptonite, is a classic piece of dialogue I will never forget. I give this play a loud, standing ovation! ”
  • Theater People by Jack Rushton
    25 Feb. 2021
    “ Two great parts for women, one in the beginning of her theatrical career and the other at the end of hers. This play captures the angst playwrights feel struggling with their own insecurities, while dealing with temperamental actors; and the angst good actors feel trying to make a character, they are portraying, ring true. Simple to stage, well-crafted, and well-paced, this short dramedy would delight audiences of all ages. ”
  • Wild Life by Jack Rushton
    11 Feb. 2021
    “ The universal struggle for all people, from the day they are born, has always been how to reconcile their human nature with their animal nature. A well-domesticated widower and a woman assigned to help him re-enter society grapple with this concept, leaving the audience to wonder what kind of animal might they be. Haunting, insightful, and thought-provoking, I highly recommend this short play. ”
  • The Difference by Jack Rushton
    9 Feb. 2021
    “ As a married couple dress to go meet and impress the neighbors, a petty argument, with some really dark undertones, plays out. Funny, dark, ridiculous, and spot on, this play will make you cringe, as you witness a marriage disintegrating right before your eyes. If you want to learn how to master the art of riveting, economical dialogue, layered with subtext and nuances, read any and all of Jack Rushton’s plays. ”
  • Second Act Second Helpings by John Mabey
    9 Feb. 2021
    “ A funny, poignant, short play about a married couple trying to find a new, exciting normal in 2021, after living through the COVID-19, heartbreaking year of 2020. Two likable, believable characters, an interesting locale, and fast-paced, well-written dialogue makes this play a winner! Bravo! ”
  • Cool Metal by Jack Rushton
    8 Feb. 2021
    “ Fast-paced, gritty, and suspenseful, this play would have an audience holding their breath to the very end. Casting in terms of age and race is totally open, and it would make a great night of theater to see this play staged three times in a row with a teenage couple, a middle-aged couple, and a senior couple, and watch how the dynamics of this plot shifts. Dramatic and well-crafted this is a must-see! ”
  • BeeKeeper by Jack Rushton
    8 Feb. 2021
    “ A restaurant, too much wine, and two longtime close friends, open up about their sex lives, and a long ago clandestine love affair is revealed. This short play is a great vehicle for two women to have fun with because the dialogue is bold, provocative, well-paced, and hilarious. The audience will feel like they're one of the patrons in the restaurant being exposed to way-too-much information. I would love to see this one-act dramedy staged and watch the fireworks explode! ”
