  • Does It Bring You Joy? (a short play) by Nora Louise Syran
    17 Dec. 2023
    “ Does it bring you joy? The answer is simply yes! What a sweet relationship we see between mother and daughter in this short piece.
    There may be lots of pressure from social media to conform, but look behind those that insist on setting high examples, I bet you will see their clothes are not folded perfectly!
    A lovely short. ”
  • CREATURE COMFORTS by Greg Burdick
    15 Dec. 2023
    “ Haha this play is totally hilarious and I haven't laughed so much in ages. The stand off between Winston and Barney is fantastic, barks and insults abound. Burdick also points out that no matter how tough and strong we think we are, we all need a little emotional support. Brilliant! ”
  • Ted The Ghost by Greg Vovos
    15 Dec. 2023
    “ Poor Ted the Ghost! This is such a funny play as Ted spills his heart out (do ghosts have a heart?) to the bored Penelope. The good old days of ghosting are long gone and Ted has to up his game with his new date.
    The final line had me laughing out loud! Love it! ”
  • Gilded Obsession by Dana Hall
    14 Dec. 2023
    “ Hahaha what a lovely romp of a radio play, I would love to listen to a recording of this gem of a play! A plot full of twists and turns, new dames and old, producers and investigators, oh and..... cats, lots of cats!
    Favorite line: "How could anyone like a show that had cats?"
    Wonderful Darhling! ”
  • Gemini: Lessons in Self-Love by Jacquelyn Floyd-Priskorn
    14 Dec. 2023
    “ "We're just two lost souls swimming in a fish bowl, year after year, going over the same old ground..." enough Pink Floyd lyrics and time to concentrate on the great short play this Floyd has written here. It's fun, quirky, quick, but also sad and remorseful. I love how the playwright intertwines the separate groups of characters here. Very clever play! ”
  • 11 & 8 by Ellen Koivisto
    14 Dec. 2023
    “ Wow! So much fear and tension packed into two and a half pages! This play is so slick, so much so I had to go back and read again, to take in just what is happening, which the reader or viewer will never really know.
    Very powerful writing! ”
  • Clockwork by Brenton Kniess
    14 Dec. 2023
    “ Oh I do love a good time travel piece, although this is a far more clever paly than just that. If time travel is possible, do we even want it? Every theory seems to suggest it's a bad idea, and can we do anything to stop the passage of time even if we could. Or are we?
    This subject throws up so many questions, and this play is a fine example. ”
  • The Convoy by Lou Jones
    14 Dec. 2023
    “ I love to read a play which highlights a story from history which is not that well documented. This is a touching piece, a memory stirred from an old photograph, memories both happy and frightening. In 1974 I was the same age as Grace's uncle in this play, so would not have remembered it, but her mother clearly looks back at the event with happiness, for her own mother made it seem like a fun holiday to protect her from conflict, as we do with the youth.
    A very nice short play! ”
  • Man's Next Friend by John Busser
    14 Dec. 2023
    “ Ha, you can always rely on a Busser for a smile and a laugh and this is no exception. Simply staged on a park bench we see Daisy and Champ enjoying a moment of rest while Daisy contemplates canine and human behavior.
    As with many pieces about the near future one cannot help but worry that this can become reality in our own lifetimes, but for now sit back and read, or rather produce, this fun little monologue! ”
  • Besieged by Cam Eickmeyer
    13 Dec. 2023
    “ What a beautiful, moving short play this is, a tender dip into Alzheimers, perfectly written by Cam. Thankfully for Richard a kindly stranger protects him from his cliff, for now, and brings him back to safety.
    Wonderful. ”
