It’s funny, well crafted, and would definitely be the right monologue to use to get a callback. The actor can have great fun with this!

What a sweet and warm short play! Nora Louise Syran writes a sharp and extremely heartfelt play that has a nice fluidity to the dialogue. This is a very charming two-hander that holds so much heart.

John Patrick Bray's St. John of Suburbia is a well-crafted and unique story that is woven together with some strong dramatic moments as well as some laughs. The dialogue is swift and full of richness which allows for some great pacing of the action. I would love to see this staged! So many great elements for designers, actors, as well as directors.

Sapio writes such a chilling yet compelling short play that is woven together so eloquently. There is a great sense of theatricality here that totally enhances the spookiness of this play. As many others have already stated, this would be an excellent addition to any Halloween-themed night of short plays.

Soltero-Brown writes an extremely fleshed-out two-hander that makes the audience connect with Nola and Frank on a very personal level. It's sweet, and sad, and yet has a nice flavor of romance. The dialogue flows very nicely and Soltero-Brown structures the action beautifully.

CLIFF ON THE EDGE is a great dramedy that covers the climate crisis well. There is a great sense of comedy, but also dramatically captivating and will truly engage audiences. A great commentary by Harris!

Rice creates a fantastical journey full of whimsy and heart. This play is widely creative and offers a great sense of childlike wonder within this world that Rice masterfully develops. Rice allows for some truly touching moments that just add extra delight to this charming play.

Like all of Heyman's plays I've read thus far, the dialogue is snappy, and clever, and allows each character to be completely fleshed out. Heyman does a particularly grand job of crafting the friendship between Lee and Shawn which truly is the focal point of this play and guided by some very amusing supporting characters. There are a lot of great dramatic moments that are set up expertly by Heyman. While this play has some nice humor to it, the touching moments will truly stick with an audience.

Barnes does a wonderful job of crafting and layering the comedy into this play. The dialogue is very fluid, fun, and fresh. There is a great sense of chemistry between the couple and Barnes allows for some great pacing to make this comedy flow. This is sure to make the theater erupt in laughter!

STARS is an emotionally gripping, funny, and truly thought-provoking play. Trumble writes these characters with ease, and their dialogue is very conversational, swift, and flows extremely nicely. Gene and Terry have a wonderful chemistry together that will be sure to make you smile. I would absolutely love to see this staged. Well done, Rick!
