  • The Furniture Store
    4 Aug. 2022
    DANIEL PRILLAMAN has the formula for writing a play with gusto, weirdness, and fantasy, which leaves us with a wonderful feeling of pure joy. “The Furniture Story” is truly a romp through an ‘Alice In Wonderland’ madcap, hilarious, witty adventure. I have put in my order for sugar candy chairs, lollipop tables, and an assortment of chocolate knickknacks. You might want to do the same, but first read this fun play.
  • R/Eject
    4 Aug. 2022
    ROBERT WEIBEZAHL takes us to a place where we, as playwrights, have been too often: Fear of rejection, fear of being unable to write, fear of being afraid. But, in the end, we find a way - at least we try and hope - to finish our play and have it read and liked. “R/ELECT” had me thinking, “this is so true!” Let’s agree that it’s hard to be a writer, but the journey is well worth the effort. I enjoyed reading this!
  • BINDERS
    4 Aug. 2022
    RACHEL CARNES had my head spinning, laughing out loud, and wondering if sanity had left the universe. “Binders” is a sci-fi parody with a crew of what-can-you-say out-of-wack weird altogether wonderfully absurd characters. I love comedy and the actors in this play will have a grand time performing as the audience laughs from beginning to end. Fun and more fun!
  • A Complicated Hope
    4 Aug. 2022
    JOHN MABEY is one of my favorite playwrights. In this wonderful play, we discover so much about the complexities of an interracial relationship, homophobia, guilt and hope, tension and love, and the coping mechanisms we use to deal with the death of a loved one. As I read “A Complicated Hope”, I felt the turmoil of the three characters, who had to face their innermost grief, lost love, and hope in their own way. This is an excellent play. There is so much to learn, feel, and enjoy! Please read and produce this play!
  • Tennessee Wet Rub
    4 Aug. 2022
    KIM E. RUYLE captures the essence of the racial prejudices in the 1950s with a strong and interesting play about the plight of the negro, young love of a kind not tolerated by white folks, American values and religious convictions, and the different cultural values within America. “Tennessee Wet Rub” has much to offer. There is truth and honesty in Bertha and Hank, as their convictions are tested. A negro boy and a white girl struggle to find their way with their own prejudices and beliefs. I absolutely LOVED this play! BRAVO!!!
  • This is Not a Touch Exhibit (a monologue)
    31 Jul. 2022
    SCOTT SICKLES writes with a depth of understanding of human nature, a clarity of expressing deep emotions, and a beautiful way of letting the reader and audience experience all of it. This gem touches our heart and reminds us of similar experiences. “This Is Not A Touch Exhibit (A Monologue)” explores the idea of “falling in love” from a distance. It is truly a lovely moment in a person’s life. Well done!
  • Fences
    30 Jul. 2022
    RACHEL FEENEY-WILLIAMS is one of the most prolific playwrights I have had the pleasure to meet. I always enjoy her fine work. In “Fences”, we are treated to a developing teenage romance, then a shocking development, followed by an unforeseen ending. You will find this play well worth reading. Like many of Rachel’s work, this gem will be an enjoyable addition to any play festival.
  • Sexual Politics in the Worst Place
    23 Jul. 2022
    JOHN BUSSER had me laughing out loud throughout his wonderful play, “Politics In The Worst Place”. The three girls are a hoot and will give three actresses witty dialogue to play with. This is a fun piece and will be a sheer delight to any audience, young or old. Good work!
  • After Another (Full Length)
    23 Jul. 2022
    PAUL DONNELLY’s play, “After Another (Full Length)”, is a well-written look at relationships with a beautifully woven texture, which is interesting, provocative, engaging, sentimental, witty, and much more. I thoroughly enjoyed reading this play and would love to see it performed. There were so many intriguing questions raised, and the audience is sure to be engaged watching a performance and then talking about it well after leaving the theater.
  • Bronte's Mom
    23 Jul. 2022
    JACQUELYN FLOYD-PRISKORN writes some of the most charming plays I have had the pleasure to read. “Bronte’s Mom” is a wonderful short play. Seth and Jayne recognize the joy they receive from Brontë, even in the face of their pet’s unfortunate mishap. There is so much to learn in a marriage, about our spouse and ourselves. Brontë helps this couple in more ways than one. I highly recommend this gem.
