  • Clockwork by Brenton Kniess

    “ 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. ”
  • Dear John by Cam Eickmeyer
    13 Dec. 2023
    “ Ooooh what a gruesome story, Love it! What starts out as a possible murder scene, (let's face it, highly likely to be one), soon turns darker as the mystery depends. This play would be so fun, I mean dark fun, to perform. ”
  • The Unexpected Delight of Snow Birds by Lisa Dellagiarino Feriend
    13 Dec. 2023
    “ Oh I love Claire and Brian, what a sweet old couple! Claire barrage of hilarious insults and Brian's perseverance to make amends for ruining the Christmas trip had me smiling throughout. But what really makes this play so special is the tender way their grief for family, be it human or feline, is presented.
    Staged at Christmas this play would melt the hardest of hearts. ”
  • Closedbook by Kelly McBurnette-Andronicos
    11 Dec. 2023
    “ Oh no! Is this really the future if Facebook, sadly I think so!
    Kelly has written a fun, slick short play here, full of morbid wit.
    This would be lots of fun to stage! ”
  • Coin Pusher by Marshall Logan Gibbs
    7 Dec. 2023
    “ In just five minutes in an amusement arcade, Marshall gives us a sad and poignant story of three generations and a family issue. Grandma is pre-occupied in her titular coin pushing game, while her sweet granddaughter tries to understand.
    Although her mother never appears in this play, the playwright manages to paint a clear picture of her and her loved ones.
    Very good! ”
  • The Speeding Ticket by Rachel Feeny-Williams
    6 Dec. 2023
    “ If ever there's a reason not to argue with an officer of the law, here is it! Take into account a whole future scenario of global warming, along with its weirdly odd freezing, you have a fun play brilliantly written by Rachel. The speed and slickness of this play is as if it's on the very ice it's performed. Great! ”
  • The Menu by Cindi Sansone-Braff
    5 Dec. 2023
    “ I have just had the pleasure of recording a role in this play to be produced as an audio, reading it aloud really brings it to life, or death in this case!
    Cindi presents us with an intriguing choice, we get to choose our own cause of death, mostly quick, some brutal, some drawn out. We will all make our own choice. Audiences will have fun watching this poor man try to decide, while pondering their own demise. Great! ”
