  • Joe Nelms: The Desk

    This play is unrelenting. It grips you from the very start and pulls you forward with fascinating characters and a very relatable story that makes you think What would I do? And that ending. Haunting. Well worth the read. And what fun for the actors.

  • Joe Nelms: Just a Drill

    A poignant, funny, and unfortunately relevant look at the mindset of school kids and the parents who worry about them, Just A Drill packs a lot of punch in just a few pages.

  • Joe Nelms: The Home for Retired Canadian Girlfriends

    A very clever premise that offers a hilarious take on one of the oldest (and thankfully, soon to be extinct) conventions of repressed or subverted identity.

  • Joe Nelms: Running in Circles Screaming

    A smart mix of layered characters, crisp dialogue, and keen insights that serve to explore existential questions in a universally relatable way. This script is fun for actors and audiences.

  • Joe Nelms: No One Cries For The Blacksmith

    No One Cries For The Blacksmith is a smart, funny, and ultimately human story about two men who meet randomly but connect profoundly. The dialogue is tight, the story moves, and, notably, this full-length play with only two characters and a taxi keeps you fully engaged and interested until its clever ending.

  • Joe Nelms: Life Boat

    Life Boat is a fascinating examination of power, guilt, and responsibility. Khaner has a true facility with words and uses his keen insights into the human condition to look at an intriguing situation from every possible angle through the different and varied perspectives of multiple characters. Gripping, intriguing, and ultimately well worth the read. Love to see this on its feet.
