    Nice short drama about the irrationality of gun violence in American schools. Another uplifting theme is that of friendship, compassion, and sacrifice among kids from different cultural and socio-economic backgrounds. Very engaging!
  • This Will Be Thine

    What a unique setting and engaging story. It lays bare our relationships with material objects and the dilemmas they create for us. I saw the play performed at the Pan Theatre in Oakland. It was well-received.
  • Love Thyself

    A sensitive, well-written portrayal of life, love, marriage and its aftermath. This monologue kept me engaged.
  • THE BUTCHER
    27 Oct. 2023
    An engaging script that leaves us hopeful for better understanding between people of different faiths and cultures in a divided America. The confusion of immigrants, whether to retain their cultural and religious identity, or assimilate into the dominant culture, and the confused reaction of native-born Americans towards immigrants is portrayed in an authentic manner. Great read!

    Nice comedy with a serious message. Uses humor to warn us of the perils of AI technology in the future. Love the name, Menno Shrunk.
  • Final Chances (To Pay Respects and Say Goodbye)
    18 Oct. 2023
    Interesting interplay of mother-son relationship in a unique setting. The dialog is crisp and funny. My favorite line: Even the dog raised his paw in disgust at me.
  • Tock, Talk, Tock

    Written in the style of theatre of the absurd, this is a poignant reminder that one's place in life is determined, in part, by the choices we make, as well as by circumstances beyond our control. The clever experimental writing shows that we shouldn't take anything for granted, that circumstances could change in a flash. Brilliant!

    Clever piece on the relationship between owner and car. Touches on myriad aspects of contemporary life in an admirably compact way - career, Costco, relationship with spouse and strangers. Brilliant!

    What a nice twist at the end of such a brief piece. All for a good cause!
