STEVEN G. MARTIN takes us on a fun ride through the last supper with big differences from the Last Supper. It’s a witty look at a group of friends, all with their own preferences, eating at Jesus’ place. “Modern Miracle” is just another gem from the creative mind of Steven G. Martin.

KERR LOCKHART’s full-length play, “Blackout”, is a dramatic and highly emotional look at the terrible tragedy of cancer. Like so many people, I have had too many loved ones have their lives cut short by this insidious disease. This powerful play is a must-read.

MARJ O’NEIL-BUTLER will have every wife standing and cheering and every husband reflecting on how they’re treating their spouse. “Breaking the Lease - A five minute play” is a play of substance. I liked it.

VIVIAN LERMOND has many beautiful plays, which she has written. So with complete confidence of enjoying her work, I read “Super…Natural (A One Minute Monologue)”. This piece really hit my funny bone. You will definitely enjoy this laugh out loud, so-much-truth-to-behold piece.

JOHN BUSSER uses a brilliantly written duologue is portray the relationship of a him and her, an almost together but not so much couple. “Arm’s Length Romance (A Duologue” describes so well the interplay between two people who think they know ‘what’s up” but don’t. I highly recommend this play!

DANA HALL’s short play, “Underneath” is a beautiful piece. It reminded me of the time I had to go through my brother’s boxes of ‘stuff’. He kept birthday cards, notes, newspaper articles, and on and on. Each had an important memory to him, and luckily as his brother, I could remember many of the events associated with all these keepsakes. Wonderful play!

SCOTT SICKLES is one of my favorite playwrights. In this short play, we are immersed into the timely topic of gun safety. “Location Location Location: A Very Short Play About Children and Guns” is a must-read. I, too, share the frustration over the killings of innocent children (and others as well). We need to come together and find workable solutions. Prayers and thoughts aren’t the only things we need.

ADAM RICHTER takes a sock as the only prop and leads us through a witty short piece in his “The Pickup Game”. This will definitely be a crowd pleaser. I enjoyed it!

ALICE JOSEPHS is a fabulous playwright, who can create magic with her works. This piece, “Spinning Gold - A Script in a Day” is a fun piece to read. I highly recommend it!

RACHEL FEENY-WILLIAMS is an amazing playwright. She writes more plays in a month than some people write in several years. She uses her enormous talent to give us another gem, “Rotten Roots”.
