“ This multilingual, multifaceted comedy from Steven G. Martin is as its title implies: subtle, sublime, and transformative. With a diverse, multigenerational cast and a relatably awkward protagonist at its center, “Benny V” is destined for greatness and a place at the top of your reading list. Bravo, playwright! ”

“ “Nobody wants to be punished anymore!” Oh, to be Krampus in the modern era - Monica Cross hilariously explores this under-sung folkloric figure in “Krampus My Style,” a monologue that will surely be welcome at any holiday festival worth its salt. Santa can’t get all the credit for the success of the Christmas season! ”

“ What if Ebenezer Scrooge had access to a jar of Melatonin gummies? It might not have turned out quite like Philip Middleton Williams’ “The Melatonin Miners” but that’s only a testament to Williams’ genius and ingenuity. There is a specificity and wit to this plays elements that are truly inimitable, and a joy to read. Bravo, playwright! ”

“ The nefariousness of the participation fee, the hyper conditionality of the payment, the suspect availability of the rehearsal space - these Wise Men should have turned tail and ran!

Jennifer O'Grady skewers the sorry state of modern theater-making, pitting the biblical Wise Men against a shameless theatre-owner. The perplexed reactions of the characters echo the reactions of many playwrights currently embroiled in the game of play submissions, and speaking as one of those playwrights, reading this script was very cathartic. Excellent short piece, speaking truth to the gatekeepers. ”
