  • The Heirloom by Erin Breznitsky
    24 Oct. 2020
    “ ERIN BREZNITSKY’s play starts off with two sisters going through boxes of stuff left in the attic of their deceased grandparents. They are surprised to find something most unexpected - both in what it is and how it got there. Each sister has their own take on what to do with their discovery. “The Heirloom” shows us that our preconceived notions of people we think we know, may be far from reality. I enjoyed reading this play. ”
  • Real World 101 by Emma Wood
    24 Oct. 2020
    “ EMMA WOOD has written a hilarious satire of a workplace with a culture - at least in the HR (human resources) Department - of training interns to be just the opposite of what you would expect in a sane world unless you had an egocentric boss in charge of the training. In “Real World 101”, you would never want to ‘be there’ as an intern, BUT you definitely would want to “be there” in the audience as you laughed out loud. What a fun play! ”
  • Birthday Beer by Jacquelyn Floyd-Priskorn
    23 Oct. 2020
    “ JACQUELYN FLOYD PRISKORN’s “Birthday Beer” is absolutely wonderful! It’s funny, romantic, and the perfect story of a change in attitude of a twenty-eight year old on his birthday. This play is a must-see on stage. I just loved the way the dialogue flowed, the seamless transition of Dean from playboy to responsible adult, and Carla at first feeling betrayed and then being pleasantly surprised. A real fun play to read! ”
  • A Semicolon is a Double by Larry Rinkel
    23 Oct. 2020
    “ LARRY RINKEL's short play is a pleaser. An athletic teenager needs a nerdy teenager for more than an explanation of a semi-colon. "A Semicolon is a Double" shows there can be a connection between a jock and nerd. This is a very worthy play to be presented at a high school or anywhere else. BRAVO! ”
  • TIME CODE by Kerr Lockhart
    23 Oct. 2020
    “ KERR LOCKHART is a extremely talented playwright. In “Time Code”, a male and female co-stars reunite after thirty years to talk about their famous on-camera love scene. At first, neither has a firm recollection of what happened. Then memories return and the emotional realization of it all first comes to one of them and then to the other. I love the characters and the simple situation, which explodes at the end into a dramatic realization. BRAVO! ”
  • Second Look (10 minute excerpt of SEEING EYE) by Nick Malakhow
    23 Oct. 2020
    “ NICK MALAKHOW gives us a sweet taste of his full length play in his “Second Look (10 minute excerpt of SEEING EYE)”. I love the two characters and want to read the full play. Such a sweet meeting of two men in front of a gay bar. One is blinded by preconceived notions of what to expect in a first meeting, and the other is blind but has his own stereotypes. ”
  • Confirmation Bias by Nick Malakhow
    23 Oct. 2020
    “ NICK MALAKHOW’s play, “Confirmation Bias”, was enlightening. I grew up in the 1950’s and there was open prejudice against gays. I was told that gays were deviates and ‘lesser-people’. My true change in how I saw gays came when I found out my sister in-law was gay. I was in my late 30’s. I cannot possibly fully understand what horrors gays have or do experience. I can at least say I am proud to have ‘seen the light’ to the extent I can. This is a wonderful play of an important event. ”
  • Mermaids by Jessica Huang
    22 Oct. 2020
    “ JESSICA HUANG’s characters are looking for faith of a better future. Her short play, “Mermaids”, is a beautiful look at a husband and wife wanting a sign of hope. We all have feelings of wanting to finding something good. Our search leads us in ways we may never fully understand. This is a thoughtful play. ”
  • MEETING GLORIA by Adam Seidel
    22 Oct. 2020
    “ ADAM SEIDEL has written a witty play of a loved-starved nerdy bachelor who has fallen in love with someone he met online but never spoken to or seen. His mother travels with him to met this person, who her son intends to marry. The circumstances are a bit bizarre but totally believable. “Meeting Gloria” makes fun of online dating and does it in a comedic way. ”
  • CONTINUED ON PAGE 12 - Monologue by Elisabeth Giffin Speckman
    22 Oct. 2020
    “ ELISABETH GIFFIN SPECKMAN’s play, “Continued On Page 12 - Monologue”, is really beautifully written. The playwright has captured the feelings of the COVID-19 pandemic. Great work! ”
