    CUPCAKE is a very fun and very silly one-minute play about existential crises. I hope to never meet this cupcake! Bravo to playwright, Ava Love Hanna!

  • David Lipschutz: A Toast (from the THE WRINKLE RANCH AND OTHER PLAYS ABOUT GROWING OLD collection) by Debra A. Cole

    A TOAST is an honest and emotionally powerful play about grief and love as seen through the lens of two sensible and real characters. That speech at the end really caps off the play in a raw and beautiful way. Great work to Debra A. Cole!

  • David Lipschutz: An Awkward Conversation in the Shadow of Mount Moriah by John Bavoso
    “

    I love love love the idea of a conversation between Abraham and Isaac post near-sacrifice. AN AWKWARD CONVERSATION IN THE SHADOW OF MOUNT MORIAH is a very smart and very funny play by John Bavoso. I was lucky enough to catch the production performed with Fargo Moorhead Community Theatre, and I also listened to it with Gather by the Ghostlight.

  • David Lipschutz: Free! Powerful Muscles Fast! by Philip Middleton Williams
    “

    FREE! POWERFUL MUSCLES FAST! is a nostalgic, coming-of-age monologue about the explorations and discoveries of one's sexual identity, beautifully written by Philip Middleton Williams. I've always wondered what those magical ads in the back of comic books would bring; and now I know! Check this one out.

  • David Lipschutz: Abort: The Mission by Lisa Dellagiarino Feriend
    “

    ABORT: THE MISSION is a super timely and topical play. What's more, it's impeccably written by Lisa Dellagiarino Feriend! Each character has their own voice and personality (and, from an acting standpoint, would be very fun to play!). Best of all, this playwright has this uncanny ability to move with relative ease from peak comedy to sincere drama.

  • David Lipschutz: Mosque4Mosque by Omer Abbas Salem
    “

    I was lucky enough to see a production of MOSQUE4MOSQUE with About Face Theatre. The play is full of beautifully written characters who are grounded in reality and tackles important - and sometimes heavy - subject matter. It's funny, serious, and all points in between. I look forward to reading and seeing more of work by Omer Abbas Salem.

    FORK AND SPOON is a a very sweet and a VERY punny short play by Debra A. Cole. I came for the pancakes and stayed for the old man jokes!
