A tender and sexy ten minute, staged entirely in silhouette for ultra theatrical effect. A great opportunity for intimacy directors to test the waters!

Group therapy with fairy tale characters gets fractured in this very fun, very dark, contemporary short play. Memorable and funny interpretations of these classic characters pop, and the therapy setting proves ripe for seeing how they tick.

Food puns! Innuendo! Discussion of open relationships! This ten-minute play about the secret life of peanut butter and jelly is a riot, and pure theatrical comfort food. A treat.

A moving and magical two-person play about trauma and grief, moving on from trauma and grief, the joyous power of a child’s imagination, and the gift of imagination in general. Very welcome non-binary representation, too! I loved it.

Anachronism is the name of the game in this charming ten minute play where two lost souls connect in a chat room over a century apart. The use of communication across space and time via telegraph/internet is smart and funny, and you can’t help but root for this odd but delightful cross-century friendship.

A hilariously perfect mashup of Shakespeare's Hamlet and James Bond that nails every plot point and trope with giddy R-rated delight. I saw this in Boston eons ago and I loved it; rereading the script years later and I'm laughing harder than ever. A zany, crowd-pleasing spoof of two of the great cornerstones of British-borne entertainment.

Adults take art far too seriously sometimes, and in this blisteringly funny ten minute play tackling pretentions amongst critics, art by literal children is on the line. Very fun and incisive, with a great ending.

When you try your best but you don’t succeed... Satan will be there to be your biggest supporter... or perhaps your biggest rival. A devilishly funny and relatable one-minute treat.

Monty Python and Doctor Horrible’s Sing Along Blog’s love child by way of The 39 Steps! This raucous two-hander comedy pokes fun at superhero tropes in a deeply ap-peel-ing way. (You’ll get it when you read it.) I’m a sucker for shows that cast one or two people as dozens of characters and this one is just a winner.

“Two lady vampires have a Zoom meeting during COVID lockdown” is a premise that immediately catches the eye, but their unspoken love for one another is the beating heart of this charmingly written ten-minute. Delightful. (Also, yes! Tiffany IS a medieval name. Short for Theophania.)
