  • Brenton Kniess: Glory Days

    This is a beautifully crafted short play with heart, honesty, and humor. This play captures the essence of nostalgia and the spirit of the past. Even if memories are painful, the past molds us into who we are and who we hope to be. We adapt, but our heart will long for the fond memories of the past.

  • Brenton Kniess: Gold Paint

    Morey Norkin hits gold with GOLD PAINT! The nature of the play is quite prophetic and heavy, but it's the approach that Norkin takes that makes this play a true gem. This is a wonderful play for a small ensemble of actors with dynamic range. Great dialogue, even greater characters, and a truly fascinating premise!

  • Brenton Kniess: SEEN

    “WOW!” Is what I exclaimed when I finished reading this! The comedy is so irreverent and Radtke takes those moments to let you laugh even though it might seem uncomfortable, that’s the whole point and what makes this piece a gem! I loved the way the play unfolds. The reveals are very nicely developed and executed. Would LOVE to this staged!

    Jonny Bolduc's JUST ICE is clever, unique, and shocking. The circumstances in which Bolduc puts his characters are surprising but also very intriguing for the audience to see play out. This play deserves an audience!

  • Brenton Kniess: Neighborly Chat (Ten Minute)

    Paul Donnelly's NEIGHBORLY CHAT is authentic, emotionally compelling, and heartwarming. Some pandemic plays are overbearing and saccharine, but Donnely balances out the action and the dramatic elements masterfully. Rich dialogue supported by well-drawn characters that keep you engaged the entire time. A truly wonderful piece of theatre!
