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.

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.

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.

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!

DC CATHO’s play, ‘That Kiss’, takes a slightly mixed-up bride to a former female classmate’s house, unannounced and unexpected, and a fascinating conversation takes place. Who’s straight; who’s not. Can a kiss by two female actors in a play make supposedly two straight females into lesbians? I found the dialogue to be witty, engaging, and best of all, thoroughly entertaining. A fun play to read and one I would like to see performed.

JACQUELYN FLOYD-PRISKORN has written a farcical comedy, which I found fascinating - handling the delicate topics of self-worth and overweight, having a cast of 5 in a very short play, and poking fun at preconceived attitudes. I simply love reading plays by JACQUELYN FLOYD-PRISKORN. She never disappoints. BRAVO!

JESSICA CHAPMAN’s ‘Fourth Grade Girl Pact’ is a delightful play of two friends, who face challenges not unlike other teenage friends, only in this play, you will laugh out loud and reminisce if you were blessed with daughters. A play worth reading and performing.

ANDREA APTECKER takes a simple task of making an angel food cake in a cooking class to the heights of the absurd in a fun and witty made-for-Zoom production. You will laugh and enjoy the experience. I recommend YOU CAN BAKE! (A SHORT ZOOM PLAY).

MAXIMILLIAN GILL takes a common phrase of derision ("stick it up your a--") and turns it upside-down, so to speak. Anybody who has had an abusive boss wants to do just that. But what-if...you need to read this play and find out that there's something more to what you would think is the meaning of the phrase. Good work!

I have read books on overeating, heard lectures on why it's important to eat healthy, and been told by my doctor it wouldn't hurt to lose a few pounds (or more). Our society often shames overweight people. STEVEN G. MARTIN uses his wit to write a play for all of us that have fought to stay slim and trim. I think even the slim-folks will find this play to be wonderful.
