Heyman writes a fun and fresh take on this laugh-out-loud farce. I really liked the world-building and how these characters were woven into the story and the world itself. This short play would be an excellent opportunity for actors, directors, and designers to take Heyman's work and embark on a hilarious journey for audiences to savor!

Hayet crafts all the right elements audiences want in a Christmas story. It's charming, sweet, and full of so much heart!

STICKS AND STONES is a richly developed drama that has a great flow through the dialogue and the action within the play. Taube takes a harsh theme and crafts something with so much emotion and humanity. It's a call to action but written in a way that's not overbearing over an audience. It's subtle and works so well within the story.

FRAGILE MINDS is a fantastic farce that will never go where you expect it to. It's been a long time since I've read a comedy where an ensemble of actors gets so many critical moments of humor. This ensemble of characters is truly the driving force of this piece and Feeny-Williams gives everyone something to do, which can be a big challenge, but each of them is fleshed out and provides a heartfelt connection to each other. This will be a play that audiences will surely be able to relate to and laugh at!

I needed some time to reflect after reading this play...and I'm sure you will too. First off, I couldn't help but think about Caroline Smith's To Die For when reading this. Pinnow does a great job of setting up the atmosphere and characters for the journey they're about to take. I think Pinnow's script is airtight. The fast paced and layered dialogue creates great dramatic action that ends up serving a tremendous ending. This would make a fantastic addition to any one-act festival!

You will love Christopher Plumridge's ONE if you enjoy esteemed playwright, Annie Baker. Plumridge creates a unique set up but the payoff is oh-so excellent! This two-hander is an actor's dream come true. There is so much depth with so little being said. A real acting challenge and maybe even a stronger challenge for a director. I would love to be the ONE(see what I did there?) to bring this to life!

Medlin does a fine job of building the comedy and thematic approach of gender roles. With a well-deserved twist, Medlin makes FIX IT QUIK AUTOSHOP something for audiences to laugh at and ponder at the same time. This comedy is a well-oiled machine!

With an original concept, Prillaman does great work weaving all the elements together to create this terrifying tale. Prillaman brings all the elements necessary to bring this horror comedy to life. This play will sure to get audiences laughing and horrified.

Floyd-Priskorn crafts a dark comedy in such a unique style. From the grocery store setting to establishing Merl's journey, MERLOT LEMAY WITH MAYONNAISE is sure to bring some heart to this dark and depressing world.

Rinkel does wonders with this unique romantic comedy. It’s witty, fresh, and Rinkel builds upon the story beautifully!
