LISA DELLAGIARINO FERIEND takes us “To The Moon!” with Joe, who has won a free trip. All should be “A-Ok” except Joe never wanted to go to the Moon and has lied about his fantasy of being there to his fiancée. This piece has you wondering, if Joe returns is there going to be a marriage, or should there be.

LISA DELLAGIARINO FERIEND takes a simple premise of a person wishing for and finally getting her wish. In her one-minute piece, we find out things may not be all we thought they would be. “The People You Meet In Heaven” is a fun read and a ‘must-see’ in a short play festival.

DAVID SIMPATICO uses only a minute for his short piece and describes the current situation in American politics. “DOUBLEPLUSGOOD” needs to be seen on stage in a One-Minute Play Festival.

VIVIAN LERMOND has written many award-winning plays so it was not unexpected this short piece would be another fine work. “Call It Karma (From The Tapas Collection)” is delightful and has a wonderfully clever surprise ending.

RACHEL FEENY-WILLIAMS found a way to make a simple get together for a cup of tea and coffee to be a witty and wonderful short piece. “No More Tea” will delight audiences and be a favorite in a short play festival.

RACHEL FEENY-WILLIAMS uses only a few words, but the stage directions in a Zoom performance or better still a stage production with an enthusiastic actor will have the audience laughing out loud throughout this short, wonderful piece. “BING” is a delight!

RACHEL FEENY-WILLIAMS opens up a whole new look at what we all heard about Prince Charming and the Princess. “After Happily Ever After” is a witty short piece with a big insight, at least one you probably hadn’t thought would happen.

STEVEN G. MARTIN has written a 1-minute play, which uses only one word. “Uncomfortable” tells a stunning truth: those who have often ignore those who need. You cannot help but feel the sense of hopelessness a homeless person must have. This is a moving piece and needs to be seen. If you are not moved by reading or seeing this play performed, you lack any empathy. BRAVO!

JOHN BUSSER’s “Confidence Scan” is such a fun play. I laughed out loud throughout the short play, as we learned about the ‘deficiencies’ of the job applicant in a most unusual way. The ending was hilarious. I definitely want to see this play performed!

JULIE ZAFFARANO consistently writes wonderfully engaging plays. I was completely taken aback by the thought provoking ending. “The Roast” tells so much about how a person, in this piece a mother and wife, handles grief from the loss of a child and hurtful actions of her spouse.
