  • The Un-Help Desk
    18 Oct. 2020
    EMILY MCCLAIN hits the nail on the head when it comes to understanding why an offer of help is appreciated if it addresses the needs and wants of the person receiving the advice and not the person giving the advice. “The Un-Help Desk” takes place in a library. But, unfortunately, many people give unsolicited advice which totally misses the mark of what is truly needed. This is a good ‘word-to-the-wise’ lesson to be learned. It would be a fun play to watch. I loved reading it.
  • And Try NOT To Enjoy Your Stay
    18 Oct. 2020
    JOHN BUSSER has written a witty and wonderful monologue. I can imagine hearing the tour guide’s instructions and general information as a person about to enter this museum. I would want to proceed to experience the wonders in the museum while at the same time running as fast as possible out the exit door screaming for help. “And Try Not To Enjoy Your Stay” is a laugh out loud speech. To add to the fun, there are two silent helpers, who have the freedom to improvise. This a truly a fun monologue.
  • Welcome to Intercourse
    18 Oct. 2020
    TRACEY JANE has written a sexually suggestive play without any vulgar language. A witty and wonderful short story of two women determined to change their lives by taking leave of men ‘with only one thing on their mind”. “Welcome To Intercourse” will get you to laugh pot loud at the double-meaning dialogue. A fun play to read and one I would love to see performed.
  • Water Child
    18 Oct. 2020
    EMMA WOOD’s play, “Water Child”, explores the powerful feelings of wanting children, the pain of losing an unborn child, the regrets from choices made that have less than desirable outcomes, and the joys and problems from having children. One sister ‘has it all’ with three children, one sister has tried three times to have a baby without success, one friend is gay and thinks of having a child, and a mother who had two children at a young age and has to be a single parent. Such a well-written play, which will touch you on so many levels. BRAVO!
  • Blue Marble
    17 Oct. 2020
    OSCAR CABRERA has written a fun sci-fi about a genius young scientist and his makeshift robot. This short play shows that robots can have needs and wants. The play, “Blue Marble”, gives us all hope there can be excitement by yourself 254 miles above the planet provided you are a genius and can find the spare parts to build a Robot. And this is a musical to boot!

    MAXIMILLIAN GILL tells a tale of a refugee trying to enter a new country. But the “Connector”, which is the title of this play, asks a steep price for the privilege. Is it worth completely changing - in all respects - and losing your identity, heritage, and self, to become a member of a new country? Does the required assimilation hurt or help the country who requires this of the people who will be accepted? A very relevant play.
  • Impossible Friends (In Progress)
    17 Oct. 2020
    EYTAN DERAY has written a short play, which has all the ingredients of characters, tension, romance, and intrigue for a longer play. But as a short play, “Impossible Friends (In Progress) pops off the pages and captures and holds your interest throughout. Relationships are hard and complicated. The play ends with a wonderful unexpected twist.
  • Blind Larks
    17 Oct. 2020
    CHRISTINE FOSTER’s “Blind Larks” is a well-written short play of four teachers trapped in a cave. They have little room to move and an unknown amount of air. Their hope is to stay alive until help arrives. All of them do their best to stay calm, yet the tensions grow as their oxygen is depleted. Will the rescuers find them in time? Each person handles their stress in a different way based on their beliefs.
  • Deeper
    16 Oct. 2020
    JACQUELYN FLOYD-PRISKORN has created a play with a fascinating plot - a young man Is ready to commit suicide. Then, with the appearance of the Angel of Death, a feeling of hope comes to Andrew. He willing takes the steps towards something - better? “Deeper” challenges our imagination. It is a wonderful play!

    JACKIE MARTIN has written a wonderful play about a couple’s lament over the tragic loss of their child. Both are trying to deal with it in their own way. This play will move an audience with its powerful message of neglect, regret, and finally acceptance of the worst tragedy parents could ever have. “Corrections” is a play I would love to watch performed on stage.
