  • David Lipschutz: It's All in the Research by Lee R. Lawing
    “

    IT'S ALL IN THE RESEARCH is a smart and thought-provoking play by Lee R. Lawing. I loved reading this, and I cannot get over the premise (a premise that is somehow timely and topical even today). I - like Tommy - am shocked by the revelations presented herein. This one will stick with readers/audiences long after the play has ended.

  • David Lipschutz: Beast by Lisa Dellagiarino Feriend

    Omfg, BEAST is so damn funny! Adam: "You were going to steal the china, weren't you?" [a beat] Old Beggar Woman: "No." Freaking hilarious! Lisa Dellagiarino Feriend is a comedy master. I was cackling from beginning to end at this parody of Disney's "Beauty and the Beast."

  • David Lipschutz: I Forgot To Title This Play by Sam Heyman
    “

    I FORGOT TO TITLE THIS PLAY is a spot-on meta one-minute play by Sam Heyman. I particularly love the creativity in the title, the synopsis, and the character names.

    XIERNON FROM GLIXTAR is a very funny comedic take on an alien invasion. I was lucky enough to catch this on the Gather By The Ghostlight podcast. Great work to Maripat Allen!

  • David Lipschutz: A Benevolent Alliance of Mourners by Ken Preuss
    “

    Everyone should read/watch/listen to plays by Ken Preuss. I listened (with the Gather By The Ghostlight podcast) to A BENEVOLENT ALLIANCE OF MOURNERS, and my goodness, this play had me feeling all the feelings. The characters, the dialogue, the situation, all real and authentic and powerful.

  • David Lipschutz: Open Mic Night by Evan Baughfman
    “

    No spoilers, but what a clever play! Highly recommend you listen to OPEN MIC NIGHT with the Gather By The Ghostlight podcast. Evan Baughfman has written something spooky and very fun that is reminiscent of an episode of Tales from the Crypt.

  • David Lipschutz: Brightly: A Monologue by Eytan Deray
    “

    BRIGHTLY is a heartfelt and sincere monologue by Eytan Deray. It gives hope reading words a supportive parent might give to their child.

  • David Lipschutz: Cabana Boy by Philip Middleton Williams
    “

    CABANA BOY is an honest, charming, and heartfelt coming of age/sexuality tale, beautifully written by Philip Middleton Williams. I can easily imagine these characters, the setting, and the story as Williams has such a strong attention to detail. Great work, and I hope to one day see it performed live!

  • David Lipschutz: Finger by DC Cathro
    “

    FINGER is a suspenseful and immensely well-crafted play by DC Cathro. The characters each have unique voices and fully-fleshed out personalities. I had a chance to catch a reading of this with Aston Rep Theatre Company, but I would absolutely cut off a finger to see a live production performed!
