    THIS PLAY IS INCREDIBLE! The characters are so well written that you leave with a strong opinion on each of them, whether you like them or not. The romance keeps you invested throughout the entire play. The structure flows beautifully and fits the concept of a story being retold on the stage. And the dialogue is a masterclass in the difficult art of giving each character their own unique voice. Nonsense and Beauty is a gorgeous look back at LGBTQ+ history to show how far we've come and can go.

    I love when a play leaves me going "what the f#¢&"! This play is crazy, wild, absurd and hilarious! It's a play that shouldn't make sense but everything comes together in a way that surprisingly works beautifully. I would definitely love to be front row for a production of this marvelous play.

    Really interesting surrealism play that explores how confusing toxic masculinity can be, and how the "alpha male" mentality can go around in circles at a million miles an hour... And yet go absolutely nowhere.

    Such a beautiful story with amazing comedic beats, that shifts into a powerful and uplifting message to the audience by the end. Absolutely incredible how much beautiful writing was compacted into this fun short play. I would love to hear a production of this story.

    Picked this up at The Drama Book Shop in New York.

    Absolutely loved this play! The relationships between the characters are so raw and believable. The non-linear approach creates a wonderful mystery aspect that allows the viewer to put the puzzle together after viewing the individual pieces. Definitely a beautiful and well written exploration in grief and the lives affected by a loss.

    A fun take on the classic fairy tale we all know and love. And the multiple references to other tales are woven in beautifully. I did not see the plot twist at the end coming and it was brilliant. Hope to see this show on the stage.

    This is such a tense and beautifully written play. I felt my heart skip a beat multiple times. The characters are so lovable and I very much enjoyed reading it. Would love to see a production of this.

    Such a beautifully written piece. Both of these characters are adorable, despite the sad material. And I enjoyed every page of this wonderful script.

  • Scott Cantrell: Étude (Ten Minute Play) by Marcia Eppich-Harris

    I'm not sure if Marcia was studying me when I write plays when she came up with the Writer character because that was so relatable, I found it shocking. This is a great artistic take on the old saying "the grass is always greener somewhere else". Myself, and a majority of artists, have at one point or another had these conversations with themselves and so to see it represented in a stage show, it can put that into perspective for the general audiences unaware of how difficult it is to even just write a short ten-minute play.

  • Scott Cantrell: Grace by Debra A. Cole

    My mind has been blown by this monologue. This new interpretation of the word 'grace' brings a whole new perspective to life as we get older. This piece will make you sit and ponder a multitude of questions, as it has done for me. A well written monologue for anyone wondering about life as we age.
