  • PETER CRATCHIT, ESQ. by Kerr Lockhart
    13 Oct. 2020
    “ KERR LOCKHART’s play, “Peter Cratchit, Esq.”, is marvelous and witty. I had the honor of reading for Ebenezer Scrooge, who has been ‘among the spirits’ for forty years. You will remember the main characters from the Dickens play, but you probably will be surprised at what happens four decades later as three new ghosts visit a grownup Peter, Bob Crachit’s eldest son. I thoroughly enjoyed this play and fully expect audiences will, too. BRAVO! ”
  • CURTAIN SPEECH by Adam Seidel
    13 Oct. 2020
    “ ADAM SEIDEL has written a monologue of an artistic director who has apparently reached his limit, sometimes referred to as a melt down, going off-the-rails, or gone bonkers. “Curtain Speech” is witty and definitely an attention-grabber. It would be a great monologue for an audition when trying to get a role in a comedy. I think it will be a audience favorite in a monologue competition. ”
  • THE BEGINNING OF EVERYTHING by Monica Cross
    13 Oct. 2020
    “ MONICA CROSS’s science fiction play, “The Beginning of Everything”, offers a view of the possible circumstances of a future where life on Earth has ended and the ‘seeds of humanity’ are to be put on another world. The question arises as to whether the mission has failed or a better alternative should be considered. This play makes you think of our future with hope, concern, and wonder. ”
  • The Portrait by Bruce Karp
    13 Oct. 2020
    “ BRUCE KARP has written a touching play of love, regret, hope, pain, redemption, and sorrow in a heartfelt story of a gay man. THE PORTRAIT is a memory as well as a memorial of a life of a good person, who lived, dreamt, and stayEd true to their identity. This play will move the audience and needs to be read and performed. ”
  • Death of an Actor by Dan Taube
    13 Oct. 2020
    “ DAN TAUBE’s play, “Death of an Actor”, is powerful. The characters are well-developed and bring on strong emotions. Alcohol and drug addiction are horrible. The struggle to refrain from, and kick, the habit is a hard road. Family and friends may try desperately to help, but there are limits to what they can do. This is a play which needs to be read and seen performed. The ending is sad, but there are important messages: affect on spouse and children, friends, and the public when a star actor is involved. ”
  • DON'T VOTE FOR ME by Kerr Lockhart
    12 Oct. 2020
    “ KERR LOCKHART has written a ‘political play’ about the inner strength of people living in a small town. Change can be difficult. Government intervention can be intrusive. A tempting offer can seem too good to be true. You will be captivated by great characters, a fun and interesting plot, and the twists and turns in this wonderful play. “Don’t Vote For Me” is a play to be read and seen on stage. I really enjoyed it. ”
  • Destiny is a Careless Waiter by Julie Zaffarano
    12 Oct. 2020
    “ JULIE ZAFFARANO’s play, “Destiny is a Careless Waiter”, is a fun play. I thoroughly enjoyed the banter between the characters over an engagement ring, which ended up being served to the wrong couple. The ending is not what you would expect but was most satisfying. I want to see this play performed. ”
  • Black Santa by David Beardsley
    12 Oct. 2020
    “ DAVID BEARDSLEY’s play, “Black Santa”, handles the issues of race, prejudice, white privilege with a simple issue of: Who should play Santa? The question is not the person but their skin color. We all think of ourselves as unbiased. If only it were true. I really enjoyed this play. It should be included in a holiday play festival and any other time of the year. I would love to see this play performed and watched by high school students. ”
  • The Sugar Ridge Rag by Philip Middleton Williams
    11 Oct. 2020
    “ PHILIP MIDDLETON WILLIAMS has written a marvelous play of friendship, love, fidelity to our true self, coming out and knowing whom you are, parental love, prejudice, and much more. The plot is powerful and the characters are so real. I truly enjoyed reading this play. I strongly recommend ‘The Sugar Ridge Rag’. BRAVO! ”
  • Newer Testaments by Imani Vaughn-Jones
    10 Oct. 2020
    “ IMANI VAUGHN-JONES takes us into the realm of sci-fi and offers a different vision of the relationship of the God we love and the Devil we fear. The play challenges our preconceptions and offers a different viewpoint of what we normally think. ‘Newer Testaments” is a fascinating play. ”
