A moving play about love and loss, set during the pandemic. A Zoom memorial brings a family together for a bittersweet wake. Two estranged sisters unexpectedly reunite to say goodbye to their dad, and their aging uncle appears and disappears as he tries to express his love for his recently deceased brother.Timely and poignant, this play adeptly zooms in on life and death in the time of Corona.

Lockdown, locked up, and losing it, this short play sums up the Corona blues we are all feeling. With a roller coaster of emotions, this dramedy has two great parts for older actors to dig their heels into. Funny, deadly serious, and haunting, this is a must-see!

A hauntingly disturbing full-length play, set in 1933, which makes you laugh and cry as you witness what was considered higher education for women. With many great parts for women, this would be a great play to stage on college campuses around the world to remind us all that times have changed, yet, there is still so much work left to do before true equality for women is obtained. Bravo!

This powerful, poetic, and poignant monologue is an incredible vehicle for any actress of a certain age. This play addresses the coming apart at the seams midlife crisis that women tend to want to blame on menopause, but it’s really that “aha” moment when a woman realizes that she has fed, clothed, and nurtured everyone but herself. Suddenly, she comes to the harsh realization that she’s emotionally, psychologically, and spiritually bankrupt. The kicker is that women tend to apologize for somehow not feeling happy and grateful with their lot and for having needs and desires of their own.

Ross Tedford Kendall’s full-length Play “Whirlpool,” Is a great vehicle for actors. It’s intense, riveting, suspenseful and extremely well-written. Fast paced, with lots of twists and turns, it explores some complex subjects such as misuse of power, sexual consent, and boundary issues. Bravo!

Loneliness makes for strange bedfellows. Breaking up is hard to do for sure, and picking up the pieces and starting over offers challenges of its own. This short, one-act, where the characters can be any race, age, or gender, could play out in countless different ways depending upon the casting. It’s poignant, funny, and the ghost adds a supernatural twist to an everyday common occurrence - relationships not working out. Bravo!

A very funny, well-crafted radio play that makes you feel like partying like it’s 1999! The characters are a hoot, and the fast-paced plot keeps the audience on their toes. The dialogue is witty, believable, and memorable. Perfectly set in the sunshine state, I would love to hear this play on the radio or Zoomed!

It isn’t easy to find a monologue that isn’t talking about the past. This one is set in the present, and that is what makes this monologue great for any actor looking for a perfect audition piece. Funny, yet deadly serious, this is very well-written.

This well-crafted, full-length dramedy tackles some major issues, including: disabilities and the dating disasters of the new millennium. Poignant, funny, and real, I would love to see this staged!

A great setting: the family dinner table. This otherwise nice family can’t seem to get on the same page, even for a minute! This play is funny and it rings oh, so, true!
