Perry's short but very funny monologue is sure to be great material for any audition or night of monologues. It's got a unique premise, a fun location, and some well-thought-out jokes!

Ollett crafts a wonderfully unique science fiction experience! There is great comedy, but also a strong dramatic core that truly brings the story together in unexpected ways. It's charming, smart, and very well crafted!

The short synopsis alone got me hooked on Norkin's latest work, REWIND. Being a movie buff, I truly find the the location delightful. Being able to envision this movie store brings back many child hood memories, but Norkin makes those memories of mine and adds a dark flavor to them. There is a great use of mystery, snappy dialogue, and well developed twists that just adds to Norkin's immaculate world building. I'd totally love to see this staged! Bravo, Morey!

Swenson does so much in 10 minutes. Swenson builds up so much emotion and love for this couple that is struggling. A wife who has dementia, and a loving husband who does what he can even though he may feel it might not be enough. There is so much pain but when there is pain there is heart, and Swenson displays that beautifully within this short play.

One moment we feel on top of the world, and then suddenly, it seems like our world is crumbling right before our eyes. Friedman makes us consider the questions we don't want to face when we're approaching death, but with those questions come answers and those answers offer us a message of life. The Butterfly Anchor isn't really about death at all, it's about hope, love, passion, and support, it's about living! We all face challenges and we all die, but we also have people to support and love us through our time of struggle. A breathtaking beautiful play!

This dark comedy has all the right elements in all the right places! There's a great sense of laughter within MIDLER ON THE ROOF. Not only does Busser set up a great farce, but it's also surprisingly wise. A great read that would be incredibly fun to see staged!

Feeny-Williams writes a laugh-out-loud comedy that has great pacing and is structured beautifully. Feeny-Williams does a great job of channeling and rediscovering these relationships between the characters which just adds to the uncomfortable situations for these characters but adds so much laughter for the audience.
This is a great play for actors and directors to bring to life. There are so many great moments of comedy that would work so well if this were to be fully staged.

Milich's writing always puts a smile on my face! THE MIDNIGHT MARAUDER! is a fun and very well-structured short mystery comedy. Milich does a great job of establishing the characters and the situation they find themselves in. It is sure to be a charming and wildly entertaining night at the theater!

THE RETURN is a chilling but also comforting drama by Abhisek Bhattacharya. Abhisek is becoming one of my favorite playwrights on NPX because each play feels different and holds so many unique factors that make his plays very memorable. THE RETURN is no exception. Bhattacharya writes with so much heart, grief, and humanity.

Mike Byham’s ARTI DOLL is a chilling dark comedy that makes you question what should we bring into homes and what is there that we haven’t realized yet. Byham writes some truly compelling dialogue as well as establishing strong world building to make the scares seem like they can happen in your own home.
