    SHEILA DUANE’s monologue, “Conferences”, could be the lament of any teacher, who cares about their students and gets no effort from them. I have had moments of shear frustration as an Adjunct Professor, and so this witty monologue ‘hit home’. I recommend any beleaguered teacher read this play. I am confident audiences will love it!
  • “Is Christmas A Commercial Holiday?” An Oral Report By Susi Kirkland
    16 Oct. 2020
    “Is Christmas A Commercial Holiday? An Oral Report By Susi Kirkland” addresses the ‘standard question’ of whether or not we have moved too far away from the religious story of Jesus Christ. LEAH ROTH BARSANTI’s play is hilarious. I laughed out loud throughout my reading of the play. I thought the ending was perfect! Great work! I would love to see this play performed.
  • Dorothy's Dictionary
    16 Oct. 2020
    E. M. LEWIS’s play, “Dorothy’s Dictionary”, actually brought tears to my eyes. A troubled youth is forced to meet a Librarian in her hospital room and perform community service. He doesn’t want to be there. She loves books, words, and ideas; he has lost his mother and himself. As they get to know one another, a bond develops which helps both of them in different ways. The ending is so sweet, so beautiful, so wonderful. I truly was moved by this extraordinary play.
  • Gown
    16 Oct. 2020
    I highly recommend “Gown”. ROBERT WEIBEZAHL has written a heartwarming play, which will bring a tear to your eye and lump in your throat. A girl’s wedding is one of the most important days to her - but also to her mother. This play is so touching. I was so moved by the ending. The audience will be in tears by the ending! BRAVO!
  • The White Millennium
    16 Oct. 2020
    BETHANY DICKEN’s “The White Millennium” is a bittersweet romantic play of a young couple divorcing yet remembering some sweet moments of their past. You hope they will change their minds and stayed married. But the reality of their relationship does not allow this. This play tugs at your heartstrings but is realistic in its conclusion.
  • Protocols
    16 Oct. 2020
    VINCE GATTON has incorporated the realities of our current COVID-19 world, added a spoonful of sci-fi, mixed in family tragedy, sprinkled a bit of twists, and spiced it up with witty dialogue. “Protocols” will get your attention from the beginning and keep it to the end. There is much to like in this play, and audiences will enjoy it in a Zoom production or on-stage.
  • Innumerable
    16 Oct. 2020
    HAYLEY HAGGERTY’s “Innumerable” is a very intriguing play about the depth and breath of the universe, its meaning to humankind, the hopes and dreams of two companions, and the wonderment of it all. The play ‘s simple dialogue gives us enough to make our minds wander into the many what-if questions we sometimes ask ourselves. I liked this play and think it will be a hit in play festivals.
  • 10 Going on 40
    14 Oct. 2020
    As a father of three daughters, I can totally relate to this beautifully written one minute play. HOLLIE MICHAELS has written a mother-always-knows-best comedy, which confirms how a mother always knows her daughter much better than dear old dad. “10 Going On 40” is relatable, witty, and wonderful.
  • Late
    14 Oct. 2020
    LAWRENCE ARONOVITCH’s play, “Late”, is a conversation of two friends with a pass relationship. The characters may have thought a simple lunch would provide a chance to catchup. But there are unsolved issues, which get in the way. Sometimes friendships are built on sand - with no strong basis. This is a nice play to be performed at a high school. Adults would enjoy it, too.
  • American Made
    14 Oct. 2020
    CHRISTIN EVE CATO’s play, “American Made”, is an interesting look at the life of two prisoners and how they attempt to cope in jail. Each wants a better life, but there are obstacles. Can things change for the better? What drives a person in prison to try?
