Fantastic monologue that brings to light the negative in the world and how the right person or moment or whatever can help to turn your entire life around. Life is full of these moments and Vivian Lermond chooses the perfect moment to save a life. Although I’d want to learn more about what led Sophie to the group. The outcome is more than satisfying.

Vivian sprinkles a little irony here, pokes some fun over there, but then hits you square in the face with the reality of the play submission process and end result. Vivian Lermond does an amazing job of bringing the characters to life in such a short script. Bravo! Thank you for encapsulating this concept in a short ironic piece!

After this, I will never be able to wonder through the paint section of any store without thinking of this play. It's memorable and conceptually genius. Bruce Karp uses quick, natural dialogue to tell an imaginative behind-the-scenes look at naming paint. Well done, highly recommend!

Cole Hunter Dzubak's Tiger's Blood is screaming out loud to be made into a bigger script. Cole does a masterful job of hiding what's at stake through the imagery of drowning in dreams and then the tiger. It's so well done that I think there's an entire metaphorical universe waiting to be unlocked. Perhaps the genius in this piece is that Dzubak allows the audience to picture the unpictured, to imagine the unwritten. Then there's the heartfelt and heartbreaking monologue at the end. I WANT MORE! Fantastic play Cole!

What a cool play. Metaphorically this short play shows that we sometimes hold on to the things even when they may have been lost forever. Ross Tedford Kendall holds our attention through his specificity in dialogue and the genius in this story is that level of detail. Excellent work!

Ariel Cipolla masterfully uses a tension filled slow build in this mysterious short play. As an audience you are quick to judge the direction, but Ariel holds the reveal until the final tension build which dramatically increases the stakes. Excellent show!

Fabulous, colorful, monologue from the monologue master! Vivian Lermond delivers a powerful monologue of empowerment and decision making and all told through her sister's eyes. Bart doesn't deserve Flora and Flora deserved better than Bart. Excellent work!

Even the dialogue has a rhythm to it in this short musical about older women who are socially invisible and the things they would have to do be noticed or things they might've done to be seen. You see Elena, she's alive and active and doing what it takes to be visibility. Lorna is who you root for though. Marj O'Neill-Butler has created an incredible character that is instantly recognizable. Three dimensional characters in a short form musical are tough to create, but 0% Chance of Visibility absolutely nails it! The music is perfect as well! Kudos Arianna Rose!

YES! A thousand times, this is fantastic and there's so much at stake in this short play. We never get to the crux of the situation, but then again we don't have to. It's absurd and brilliant. Lisa Dellagiarino Feriend has written a wonderful play about the foundation of love and going to the moon. That last line though, it's the perfect button. Well done!
