  • Dana Hall: Casting by Jacquelyn Floyd-Priskorn
    “

    Love the challenge to industry standards. Brava at pointing the finger directly at how women are cast to play, certain limited roles based on appearance only. Being an actor this play hits home and depicts the competition aspect of casting that often goes unspoken. Love it- great piece. Very powerful to see performed.

    The tension is amazing and it leaves the reader wanting to know more. As an actor, my mind is reeling with all the directions to take this psychological drama.

    I hope those that have different interests from their friends read this and know that light inside them should never be dimmed for others (adults included) Yes! It makes you root for that creative inner child and also I'm pretty sure this kid grows up to be an artistic director. Love it! ❤

    I had a french poodle and this was totally her personality. So much fun and a great perspective on inclusivity. We fear what we don't know or perhaps are threatened by it but if we learn to move past that and open our hearts it can enrich our lives.

  • Dana Hall: ALONE, ALONE, ALONE, ALONE, ALONE [A 1-MINUTE PLAY] by Steven G. Martin
    “

    The setting alone shook me. A void- so powerful- it takes an internal experience and externalizes it with simple beauty. The fragility of the human condition and its longing for connection is captured here.

    A coming together of generations, packed with authentic dialogue and male bonding in a non-toxic and loving manner. It depicts the evolution of this family's understanding of masculinity and traditional roles. It shows when we truly love someone -love triumphs. Appreciate the arch of the father exploring his preconceived bias and upbringing to forge a relationship with his son.

  • Dana Hall: Art in Quotation Marks (A One-Minute Play) by DC Cathro

    What is art? Better yet what's it worth to you? An interesting exploration of original concepts, pop culture, and the moving mark of aesthetic value. I love plays that make me think about how characters may have arrived at their present feelings, there is so much to work with in this short, thought-provoking play.

    The exceptional ability that smells have to trigger memories — known as “the Proust effect” is alive and well in this well-crafted play. It gives off Twilight Zone vibes as it walks the line of reality and imagination in such a way the two become blurred. It immediately made me play along with what smells conjure up certain memories for me. What a wonderfully creative piece. I can see it in a series as well.

    You can feel the internal conflict from the first moments of the play. It made me want to explore the moment before for both women. So much to delve into for an actor looking for a strong piece that can demonstrate their range. It is declarative and yet hopeful which leaves the audience to draw their own conclusions. Brava! Lovely piece.
