  • Black Santa
    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
    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
    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.
  • Happy Hour
    10 Oct. 2020
    JOHN BAVOSO’s short play “Happy Hour” captures the heartbreak some women experience with sexual assault but are unable to report it. A casual meeting at a bar brings out the pain associated with such a terrible experience. Both women have a common link in more ways than you might think.
  • Likeminded Thoughts on the Nature of Permanence
    9 Oct. 2020
    SCOTT SICKLES has written a witty one-minute comedy play, “Likeminded Thoughts on the Nature of Permanence”. Some can enter marriage with no doubts, second thoughts, or - isn’t there someone else who would make a better partner? This play is only a minute, but so much is revealed. I want to see this play on stage!
  • A Bottle of Worth
    9 Oct. 2020
    GENE KATO has written a gripping sci-fi, which will keep you totally immersed in a fascinating tale. A family and a lone young man meet on a scorched earth and have only one bottle of water. You will be immersed in the high drama throughout the play, which has a twist at the end.
  • A Moment of Clarity
    9 Oct. 2020
    PHILIP MIDDLETON WILLIAMS is a gifted playwright. I so love reading his plays, and ‘A Moment of Clarity’ is one of his best. Dementia is cruel. The person with it losses their ability to remember, but the ones who have to deal with this reality are most affected. I was truly moved by this play.
  • Grown-Ass Louis
    9 Oct. 2020
    BRUCE WALSH explores the dream of a young man to reconnect with his deceased father. ‘Grown-Ass Louis’ is about the hope we all share to, once again, hear from our dearly departed. Can a ballon float up to that place where a message can be received by someone who no longer walks among us.? If so, will there be a response, which we desperately want to hear? A touching play for all.
  • DORM PARTY (A Zoom Play)
    9 Oct. 2020
    SCOTT MULLEN has created an endearing Zoom play of two college girls meeting at a Zoom party. “Dorm Party” is a coming out, so to speak, of the feelings, hopes, and dreams of two lonely females. The play has a nice twist at the end. This would be a nice play for teenagers and adults.
  • You Haven't Changed A Bit
    9 Oct. 2020
    DONNA HOKE’s play, “You Haven’t Changed a Bit”, is truly a wonderful play of two former high school classmates, who meet after 70 years. It’s a play which will win your heart. I had the honor of playing Len in a recent production by The Orange Players. This play is a must-read and must-see. BRAVO!
