  • Fool Me Twice

    A wonderful monologue telling a good short story with a good twist at the end. Muise does a good job with the writing and keeping the listener interested throughout. Some funny moments for sure. Any good female actor will be delighted to take on Molly's role and give Muise's words the life they deserve.

    I had the pleasure of hearing this play read. I loved it. Costa does a good job divulging the facts we need to enjoy the play with a big twist at the end. The piece brought me back to my youth and it will do the same for you. I'd love to see this play on stage.
  • To the Zoom and Back

    I loved Sansone-Braff's To the Zoom and Back! Cute, emotional, loving, and down to earth. It's complex in its simplicity and it leaves you warm all over. I'd love to see this play on stage. More like this, Sansone-Braff. Brava!

    Wow! O'Neill's Rocks Algae Water Stars rocks! It is both cute and deep-meaning, interesting and cunning, loving and scary, all at the same time. The play explores the concept, what if this here and now is as good as it's ever going to be? And we're powerless to meaningfully change it? Well written and crafted. Good work, O'Neill. I'd love to see this play on stage.
  • I mean...meow?

    A lot can be said in 1 minute. And a lot of laughs can be had in 1 minute. That is certainly the case in Jacobs' "I mean ... meow?" Have a minute? Have a laugh. Read it. Then put it on stage!

    What a lovely play about two young people trying to connect but unsure as to how to do it right. This play includes all the elements of a well-written romantic comedy -- boy likes girl, boy tries to come up with stuff girl loves but is way off the mark; girl has poor self-esteem, girl rejects boy; but through the magic of burgeoning love, girl and boy reach compromises neither ever thought they could. And so, we all leave the theater inspired and richer for our experience. Well done, Josie Gingrich! Again! Love your work.
  • Predictor

    Ever take something as trivial as a home pregnancy test and consider all it took to get it to your home from nothing? This play inspired me to consider all the self sacrifice many endured throughout the years to make my life now easy and convenient. Blackmer catapults us into the life of Meg Crane and weaves us through her journey. All along, we learn, we consider, we contemplate and we discover. Theater inspires and Blackmer delivers. I loved reading this play and will most definitely go see it when (not if) it is staged.
  • Borrowed Babies
    12 Aug. 2020
    Beautifully constructed, Borrowed Babies smartly masters then defines that moment in time when one ponders about the meaning of one's life and one's legacy -- 'Was my life's work meaningful enough? Were my efforts truly beneficial and appreciated by those I served? And at what cost?' And during the entire ride, Blackmer forces us to explore our own universe of accomplishments. I loved reading this piece and will most definitely go see it if I have the opportunity to do so. Good work!

    I saw staged productions of aMUSED on two occasions. The play is amazing, funny, witty, and inspiring. The writing is clear and the dialogue is sharp. I'll go see it again if I get the opportunity. It is a great show.
  • Across the Lake

    I loved Across the Lake by Gingrich. I participated in one of its workshops. It is well-written and clear. The dialogue is crisp and fast-paced. I can't wait to see this play on stage. Well done!
