  • Tooth Or Dare
    7 Oct. 2023
    Oh my goodness, TOOTH OR DARE is such a silly and entertaining play. I love how effortlessly Emily McClain takes the play from light and fun to dark and sinister. I was able to listen to this on the "Gather by the Ghostlight" podcast.
  • The Demon Lady
    7 Oct. 2023
    THE DEMON LADY by John Patrick Bray is a fantastic short horror story. You should give it a listen on "Gather by the Ghostlight," and please PLEASE tell me when it is being staged live because I would love to see that set in action!
  • The Uninvited
    7 Oct. 2023
    THE UNINVITED is emotionally raw storytelling by Christopher Plumridge. Thank you for sharing this honest, internal monologue.
  • Lucid
    7 Oct. 2023
    LUCID is a powerful and moving play by Dana Hall. This piece is replete with beautiful prose that will stay with you long after the curtain closes. I had the pleasure of not only reading it, but I was able to watch a production with the Pittsburgh New Works Festival.
  • There Was a Spider on the Ceiling
    30 Aug. 2023
    THERE WAS A SPIDER ON THE CEILING is a hilarious slapstick comedy. I love how, although each character has a unique voice, they are all equally TERRIFIED of spiders. Great work to Ramsey Uhter!
  • The Swallows
    13 Jul. 2023
    In THE SWALLOWS, Kevin King has created this smart, well-crafted, and at moments very funny two-hander with complex and detailed characters. I had the pleasure of directing a production as an audio play with Eclectic Full Contact Theatre. The dialogue is natural and honest (and, as a result, made my job directing and the actors' jobs performing quite easy!). A true slice of life play. Give this one a read (or a listen!).
  • PTC (Parent-Teacher Conference)
    29 May. 2023
    PTC (PARENT-TEACHER CONFERENCE) is a fantastic play. We are treated to this moment in time between three queer characters (characters that are fully developed in only ten pages!) and the relationship between them. RJ Silva is an incredible playwright, and I look forward to reading/seeing more of his work.
  • Stork Patrol
    28 May. 2023
    STORK PATROL is a great satire by Debra A. Cole that shows the hypocrisy in some folks' "beliefs." Check this one out on the Theatrical Shenanigans podcast!
  • Lenora
    28 May. 2023
    LENORA is a beautiful and haunting play by Jonathan Cook that will stay with you long after you've stopped reading/listening/watching. I was able to experience this one on the Gather by the Ghostlight podcast.
  • Monsters Beyond the Midnight Zone
    28 May. 2023
    Oofta this one gave me chills. MONSTERS BEYOND THE MIDNIGHT ZONE is an incredible Lovecraftian horror play, and Lindsay Partain is able to do it in less than ten minutes! Definitely check this one out on the Gather by the Ghostlight podcast.
