  • Last Laugh by Morey Norkin
    23 Aug. 2022
    “ MOREY NORKIN’s “Last Laugh” is funny, sentimental, serious, and well-worth reading. The meeting of two comics turns into something more than might have been expected. A generational difference doesn’t necessarily mean there is no connection. ”
  • Monologue: I've Been Wanting to Thank You for the Gifts You Gave Me by John Daily
    23 Aug. 2022
    “ JOHN DAILY’s play, “Gifts You Gave Me”, is a moving piece. I found this short monologue disturbing, as it was meant to be, and informative of the pain and life changing trauma to a person due to child molestation. ”
  • An Idle Mind is the Devil’s Playground (from the THE WRINKLE RANCH AND OTHER PLAYS ABOUT GROWING OLD collection) by Debra A. Cole
    23 Aug. 2022
    “ DEBRA A. COLE’s ten-minute play, “An Idle Mind is the Devil’s Playground”, is a fun piece with a twist or two that will have an audience laughing out loud. This is an interesting take on the need for retirees not to get bored. The Devil also finds out that life has its interesting turns. ”
  • Nonsense and Beauty by Scott Sickles
    22 Aug. 2022
    “ SCOTT SICKLES is truly a brilliant playwright. “Nonsense and Beauty” is a magnificent play, one which will touch your heart, fill you with joy and sadness, and take your breath away. The beauty of a rose, the touch of your lover, the emotions of sharing but yet not having it all to yourself, are in this work of art. Thank you, Scott, for all of your great plays, but at the moment, I LOVE this play. BRAVO! ”
  • Hookie by Hilary Bluestein-Lyons
    21 Aug. 2022
    “ Oh, I liked this 1-Minute piece! This little gem captures an endearing, sentimental, and laugh out loud exchange between mother and son in one page of dialogue. “Hookie” by Hilary Bluestein-Lyons is a winner! ”
  • Mister Frank by Robert J. LeBlanc
    21 Aug. 2022
    “ ROBERT LEBLANC’s “Mister Frank”, was witty, quirky, and fun to read. I never was lucky enough to have a fast-talking substitute, but I did enjoy the experience, as I read this five-minute comedy short. ”
  • Candyland by William J. Goodwin
    21 Aug. 2022
    “ WILLIAM J. GOODWIN’s “Candyland”, provides the reader/audience with some interesting food for thought: How should one protect their family?; should a drunk get a pass for inappropriate behavior when he is seeking to reconcile with his estranged girlfriend? Is gun control something we want as a society? I have my own thoughts and opinions, but I will let others read this play and decide for themselves. ”
  • Sitting Still by Danielle Wirsansky
    18 Aug. 2022
    “ DANIELLE WIRSANSKY’s “Sitting Still”, is a beautifully written play in which the indignities towards women are on full display. I found this play compelling, as a reminder of the sheer stupidity of men, in the time period of this play, refusing to see women as equals. It’s sad but so true. As a history buff, I thoroughly enjoyed this work of substance. The ending was not expected, but I did find it to be gripping. ”
  • A Ghost of a Chance by Judith Robinson
    17 Aug. 2022
    “ JUDITH ROBINSON’s play, “A Ghost of a Chance”, is a facinating satire about two great men, Truman and Carter, who were hated by many during and immediately after their presidencies, but in later life they were thought of in much more favorable terms. Their strong set of principles - truth, strength to do right when against ‘political wisdom’ - were front and center. As a student of American history, I was reminded about so many decisions, made for the right reasons, but wrongly interpreted by the press and the public in my view. I really enjoyed this play! Bravo! ”
  • The Weak Link in the Chain by Christopher Plumridge
    16 Aug. 2022
    “ CHRISTOPHER PLUMRIDGE’s monologue, “The Weak Link In The Chain”, raises so many thought provoking questions centered on abuse. The emotional trauma is so like being chained to an immovable object, and as a result, the victim is kept in-place, so to speak, and unfortunately keeps receiving unfair and unrelenting horrific treatment. ”
