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!

Jacquelyn Floyd-Priskorn could give a master class on disguising metaphorical dialogue as something completely different than intended. I admit that I thought the dialogue was neat, but something was a bit off the first time I read it. It was the second time I read it that I realized what this play was actually about. Which makes the last line so incredibly devastating. Makes all of the lines so devastating. This one tricked me good the first time and I felt guilty for laughing at the lines I laughed at. Which it would seem was with purpose! Highly Recommend!

Jacquelyn Floyd-Priskorn has taken a universally known character and given him so many new and exciting dimensions. What I wasn't expecting was the spiritual conversation that held the tension as the scene played out. Floyd-Priskorn had me rooting for so many things at once. I felt it so strongly that I wrote them out in this recommendation only to realize that I was giving away every twist and turn. Ultimately, you're left with the sad revelation that true love might no longer be attainable. Highly recommend!

This 20 minute or so One Act has it all. It's so unique to the comedy and satire genre that it barely fits. Ellen Davis Sullivan slowly takes you on this mysterious ride through the eyes of Pam and Amy. Sullivan has done such a wonderful job of setting the tone that the ultimate reveal happens in lockstep with the dialogue. Once that happens, Ellen Davis Sullivan opts for a series of escalating twists and turns that you could never expect but be delighted in! Wonderful show! Would love to see it on stage!

John Bavoso takes on so many social elements and with precision and wit and a ridiculous accumulation of comedic elements. Bavoso does it in a manner that makes every character incredibly relatable, believable and in a comedy such as MLM is for Murder (Or, Your Side Hustle is Killing Us), three dimensional. Driven by greed and power, Bavoso forces the audience to fall into the trap of rooting for the wrong people. There are so many underlying messages throughout the show and to see how Bavoso has weaved them all together is the magic of this show.
