How can you take on a serious and consequential topic, and make it into a marvelous comedy? You REALLY NEED to read “Abort: The Mission” by LISA DELLAGIARINO FERIEND. It’s a hoot, yet instructive in a funny way. I really enjoyed reading this full-length play. I would encourage directors and producers to read and then produce this play. You will definitely have audiences laughing out loud and talking about “Abort: The Mission” long after they’ve enjoyed the performance.

Truly, “The Order of Fifinella” by ALAINA TENNANT is an absolutely fantastic play. I found it to be so informative, interesting and impactful. Women have always contributed in great ways. Unfortunately, they haven’t always received the recognition, honors that men have. I was moved and so glad the story is so skillfully told. I earnestly hope this play is produced and I can be in the audience. I highly recommend it be read, produced and thoroughly enjoyed. BRAVO!!!

IAN DONLEY’s short play, “Little Nessie”, is cute, funny and interesting. Perhaps, we all might see the Loch Ness Monster someday, or not. In any case, you have Ian’s play to read and discover if the Lock Ness Monster is real.

KERR LOCKHART takes on the rich and powerful in a farce of extraordinary humor, wit, and a no bars examination of greed. In his funny full-length play, “These Little Piggies”, you might think it’s going to be about a cure for cancer. In the process, you will laugh out loud, say “what the heck”, and be totally immersed in drama, intrigue, and power plays. Sit down, fasten your seatbelt, and read a very enjoyable story.

BARRY WALLACE makes standing in line waiting to board an airplane much more interesting than the usual mayhem. “Baggage” is a fun play. I enjoyed reading it.

BARRY WALLACE’s short play, “The Necessary Nativity”, is a must for any Christmas Holiday Festival. The story of the birth of our Savior is told in a wonderful way. It takes some liberties of storytelling but is so heartwarming and wonderful. I highly recommend it be read and produced.

JACQUELYN FLOYD-PRISKORN’s play, “A Woman Of Murdee”, is a wonderful, fun, laugh out loud mystery/thriller. I thoroughly enjoyed this play and have no doubt an audience will be delighted to see it. The comedy was just as I love it! Quirky, witty, wild. You will have a great time at the pageant as the cast performs, with the brilliant writing of the playwright. Bravo, Jacquelyn!

DAN WEST’s play, “Vespers”, is a marvelous psychological thriller. You will be captivated, amazed, and entertained by this gem. I enjoyed reading this play. It’s intriguing, compelling and powerful. I highly recommend this play. I would love to see it performed.

STEVEN G. MARTIN’s one-minute play, “ABANDONMENT”, raises one of the most important questions for a religious person: Has God abandoned me when I most need Him? This brief monologue is very powerful.

Some years ago, I served on our small town’s governing board. We usually had a ‘public comments’ agenda item. I can say without any hesitation that there were many ‘off-subject’ comments. This short piece, “Hardly Working”, by GARRETT W. MARTIN, reminded me of some of my experiences. I enjoyed reading this little gem.
