  • Eesha's Dilemma
    26 Mar. 2024
    Discussions of finances in marriage can be challenging, especially when one spouse exerts control, as in this short scene. Fariq is unwilling to share details or accept sound advice from Eesha either through sheer stubbornness or some sense of pride. This intriguing short piece will ring true for many audiences, although half may have a hard time recognizing themselves.
  • Life is Small
    26 Mar. 2024
    LIFE IS SMALL is the title of the play, but as a character study it is anything but small. As the events of the story unfold, we discover three men each struggling with a sense of failure, and a female police officer with her own fears. Douglas Gearhart’s dialogue is extraordinary and I’m sure a staged production would be as well.
  • The Manners Mafia
    22 Mar. 2024
    Leave the gun and take the cannoli, PLEASE! Rachel Feeny-Williams’ spoof of mafia dramas hits all the right notes. The actors playing the three Dons will have a ball. The opportunity to read or produce this is an offer you can’t refuse.
  • In A World...
    22 Mar. 2024
    Hilarious! Voiceover Guy steals the show and more in what is destined to become a John Busser classic. Coming to a theater near some people this May! Run, don’t walk to grab your seat!
  • Playground Politics
    20 Mar. 2024
    Oh, the schemes of 4th grade girls! But while Annabeth and Almyria are playing checkers, Ashley is playing 4-dimensional chess. This would be fun whether played by actual age, teen, or adult actors. Make it happen!
  • The Doctors Call
    20 Mar. 2024
    When our time comes, and it surely will, we should be so lucky. Probably the hardest conversation to have, but here the news is delivered beautifully and accepted with grace.
  • This Cow and That Trombone
    20 Mar. 2024
    I can’t resist a play that includes cows. And this one did not disappoint. A contented cow, a cow that wants to be more, and a compassionate bull. What they and we learn is that it’s ok to follow your dreams, and if it at first you don’t succeed, try, try again. Such a feel good story that you’ll be clapping and mooing along with this bovine trio.
  • JUST ICE
    19 Mar. 2024
    What a cool concept. Kind of a sci-fi western with supernatural elements. How many fugitives have passed through this cabin, and where do they go next? Rich with atmosphere. A fascinating read.
  • Carol of the Balls (a monologue)
    19 Mar. 2024
    Although this takes place on Christmas morning, I’m guessing Carol keeps local law enforcement busy on every other holiday as well. What a wild character! I need to find the video!
  • blowhole.
    19 Mar. 2024
    A terrific adaptation brimming with Aly Kantor’s unique wit and humor. Kantor takes a look at feminism/social activism in the early twentieth century but makes it completely relevant to today’s audience. And what a lucky audience it is that gets the opportunity to enjoy this gem!
