ADAM SZYMKOWICZ’s full-length play is a realistic view of the emotional, mental, and physical impact of dementia on the person with it and the caring spouse who is physically and emotionally drained but wants to hold on to being with her spouse.

RACHEL FEENY-WILLIAMS sets up a confrontation between a doctor and a former patient, who believes there has been a big “Betrayal”. The interaction is gripping and will get and keep the audience’s attention.

RACHEL FEENY-WILLIAMS has nicely captured the anxiety a playwright can feel as they find out what others think of their work. “My Moment” is a heartwarming play of the importance of a supportive spouse, the impact of the critics, and the highs and lows from the feedback a writer receives,

IAN THAL’s play, “The Second Annual Administration Building Takeover and Slumber Party”, is a marvelous play, which is timely, interesting, instructive, and entertaining. The four characters are seen as college students and forty-year-olds. I highly recommend this play. Audiences will love it. BRAVO!

VIVIAN LERMOND’s play, “1101 WELLINGTON WAY - DUOLOGUE”, is a winner! I was engrossed in the dialogue from two neighbors, who are speaking to the audience and not to each other, expressing their disdain for the other. The ending was a complete surprise but most intriguing. BRAVO!

VIVIAN LERMOND has written a short play about a couple having two very different viewpoints on how their married life should proceed. One wants change; the other likes things as they are. Marriage requires two people to find their rhythm, so to speak, of their (figuratively) dance. Sometimes a slow, romantic foxtrot, other times a waltz, still other moments a tap-dance - you get the point -there needs to be romance, excitement, relaxation for some, yet not for all. I enjoyed this play!

JACQUELYN FLOYD-PRIKORN knows how to write sweet, touching, and meaningful plays. “Off Center” is just such a piece. A new security guard just wants to follow the rules, but we find out there can be good reasons for making an exception once in awhile. An older woman, a strange painting, and the best seat in the library are all connected. You will thoroughly enjoy reading this play and finding out what ties these things together.

DAN TAUBE’s play, “Women Like Us”, is a powerful story about the mixture of love and abuse, some obvious and some not so much. Alice has a mother, whom she hates, and a grandma, whom she loves. Then, Alice’s world of being a Professor, loving to teach her students, and believing she has a future, suddenly changes. There are so many layers, subplots, to this incredible play. You will be totally immersed in this full-length play. BRAVO!

JENNIFER O’GRADY makes it impossible to ever pass your dishwasher again without at least a friendly smile. We often take ‘things’ for granted. It’s important to take account and sympathize with our ‘friends’, who help us. “Dishwasher” is a fun encounter in the world of appliances needing some love, or at least respectful attention. Fun, witty, and so off-beat. This is a play to read and watch performed.

JOHN BUSSER has the wit and dark humor that I love to read. Golf was never a game for me, as I tried and failed miserably, but I thoroughly enjoyed this ‘walk in the woods’ as golf partners died of being boring, taking too much time, or being in the wrong spot. “A Wicked Slice” is sure to get golfers and non-golfers to laugh together. This play would be fun to watch.
