This play, about a bromance gone wrong, has many twists and turns, with a plot that makes you feel that you have just watched a master magician pull off the greatest disappearing act of all times. It’s a fast-paced piece, with realistic dialogue and believable characters. Envy, resentment, and revenge fuel the plot all the way to the explosive end! Bravo!

The world of make believe that children create is probably God’s saving grace to protect them from the harsh realities of life. A brilliant, short play written from the viewpoint of the children, who seem more grownup than the grownups. Relatable and very stage worthy, this play makes you remember the past: both your own childhood and the one you gave your children. Hauntingly memorable.

A short play that makes you walk a mile in someone else’s shoes. Revenge, justice, the dual nature of the human animal, father/son relationships, and ultimately compassion for others are some of the complex themes packed into a perfectly crafted ten-minute play. Great for the stage, radio, or Zoom.

The situation is awkward, but the well-crafted dialogue just keeps moving the plot forward at a fast pace. The characters are believable, really funny, and at times cringeworthy. I would love to see this play staged!

There is no right or wrong way to grieve, only a lot of mixed feelings, particularly when a relationship was a troubled one. This well-crafted short play takes us on a rocky ride as we witness a roller coaster of fierce emotions ranging from anger to regret and remorse, and ultimately to deep levels of sorrow. Bravo!

An up-and-coming artist paints a portrait of the man she loved. Even though he could never love her the way she needed to be loved, she harbors no bitterness in her heart towards him, only unending, unconditional love. A beautifully written play that will touch your heart and soul. Moving, poignant, and at times heart wrenching, this short play ends on a hopeful and forgiving note. Bravo!

This clever, well-crafted short play reminds us all that humility is a virtue worth cultivating. Appropriate for all ages, this play would be a welcomed addition to any one-act play festival. This play within a play makes you squirm because you feel as if you have sneaked into a community theater rehearsal and are watching a frustrated director duking it out with a pompous windbag of an actor, who thinks he is God’s gift to the stage. I loved, loved, loved the ending!

A funny, well-paced short play that reminds us just how scary reality TV shows can be. The British host of “Haunted Hangouts” is a riot as she tries to make something out of nothing. The bored camera guy cracked me up, and Willow and her only customer in the Elk Moon Cafe kept the comedy coming. I would love to see this play staged or Zoomed.

Be careful what you wish for! We all want a soul mate, but could there be too much of a good thing? Appropriate for all ages, this New Age play, is both thought-provoking and entertaining. This short play takes us on a wild ride from life in spirit, to life on earth, and back again. Whether you read it or see it on stage, enjoy the ride!

This full-length play has a most original setting for a play: a golf course. It’s totally fascinating as you get to witness, voyeur-like, four sets of golfers maneuvering their way around the course and around the many twists and turns of life itself. This play is over-the-top funny, with riveting dialogue and realistic characters. Complete with a narrator, who comments and carefully guides us through the play, it has the feel of that great, American classic, “Our Town.” Beyond stageworthy, this play is a true theatrical masterpiece.
