ROBIN RICE writes plays which are truly captivating. I read this play twice just to feel the beautiful vision of the circle of dancers in a Matisse painting coming ‘alive’ and finding a place for a true artist. “Dance” is a joy to read and should be produced for an audience to enjoy.

LARRY RINKEL’s “Brian’s Poems” is such a sweet dedication to a person, who was loved and respected. The power of love, devotion, and respect are high honors to give to someone. The play itself is poetic in its charm. The ending is touching.

JOHN BUSSER never disappoints. He always writes entertaining plays, which I love to read. “The Fast and the Fuhrer-Less” is a witty tale of what can go wrong when the scientists know formulas but are not well-versed on history. A time machine seems like the best possible invention until mayhem overtakes the best of intentions.

BETHANY DICKENS’ play, “American Love”, is fascinating and well-written. You are skillfully told about the many definitions of love with an arc of what can happen with high school relationships. I enjoyed reading this play, and you will, too!

DOUG DEVITA’s play, “Phillie’s Trilogy’, is truly a must-read. I have loved reading Doug’s short plays and it has been on my ‘to-do’ list to read this play. I was totally engrossed and found it poignant, witty, breathtaking, and fascinating. There was nothing predictable, yet it all made sense as I finished the play. Doug’s creative talents are so readily apparent. You will fall in love, grimace at times, laugh out loud, perhaps cry, certainly feel the deep emotions, and come away with the joy of reading this play. BRAVO!!!

PAUL DONNELLY’s play is a strong emotional look at the guilt of a mother, who has much regret about how her daughter’s life played out. What could the mother have done differently? “If Only In My Dreams” offers hope things will become better, if only - The ending will tell you what it is.

REX MCGREGOR has written a witty play. He imagines what a couple cows and a horse might say about humans. “Flight Of The Cows” would be fun for the actors to play the parts.

VIVIAN LERMOND’s play is a wonderful comedy spoof of Alice (whom we all know from Alice in Wonderland) being analyzed by Doctor Freud. I watched this play performed by Caravan Productions and then read the script. “Alice In Therapy (From The Tapas Collection) is a really funny play. You will love it!

REX MCGREGOR has written an hilarious play with the most unusual situation of two candidates for an executive position ‘fightIng it out” in an overnight camping trip. The characters interact and try to one-up each other. The laugh lines keep coming and the ending is pure justice. “Fire Up” could mean start the fire, or get charged up to outwit and outperform your competition, or send up a signal that this play is well-worth the read and will delight audiences.

JESSICA CHIPMAN’s play left me simply stunned. The sibling rivalry was obvious. The anger of the older brother, Denver, was clear. So many arguments are about money. With all of these elements in this play, I thought the ending was predictable...until it wasn’t. “Denver” is a well-written and developed look at the dark side of jealousy, regrets, and unsolved issues. This play is a winner!
