A very funny short piece about a match made in… someplace! FEELING DEVILISH introduces the demon lawyer of Tinder. Could a musical be in store? One can only hope! Great fun, packed with laughs!

Eric Pfeffinger pulls you in from the very first line and holds your interest throughout this engaging and thoughtful comedy that examines the political divide and whether anything can bridge the gap. Well-defined characters, brilliant dialogue, and instantly recognizable political discussion that asks whether we can at least see “the other side“ as human. Sure to result in some lively post-show conversation. It’s time for this play to be produced again!

If you like clever word play, and I certainly do, then you must read/produce The Prince’s Richard! Jarred Corona keeps the puns and laughs coming, all while skewering conservative TV “news.” Love it!

Jillian Blevins uses a current, bizarre anti-Semitic conspiracy theory to provide an insightful discussion of what it means to be a Jew and who gets to decide. And the truth that the two characters, and all of us, must face is that those who would do us harm have no interest in making distinctions. So how do we respond to an existential threat? That is the question at the heart of this thought provoking and timely work. This play deserves to be produced soon and often.

A real-life encounter turns into this comic gem! Could the “B” in Ms. B mean what I think it does? I love the final zinger!

Sometimes you just need to hire someone to do the heavy lifting. Or in this case it’s Bruce Karp’s light comic touch that gets the job done in this compact two hander. Deceptively simple, direct, and perfectly sets up the payoff. Would be a great addition to any festival.

The fourth, but certainly not the last, installment of this hilarious series featuring intrepid CIA agent Justin Thyme, keeps the laughs coming. Secret messages from who else but Morris Cody. And could Justin Thyme be an imposter? Joe Swenson, don’t keep us waiting!

Nora Louise Syran has a wonderful talent for translating history into theater for young performers and audiences. Through relatable characters all trying to navigate school social and political life, OUR FAKE HISTORY teaches the importance of critical thinking and the dangers of deliberate misinformation. Any publisher, theater company, or school that would shy away from this piece because it is controversial is in the wrong business. This play truly deserves a wide audience!

What an absolute delight! In this clever romantic comedy, Jacquie Floyd-Priskorn presents us with two charming characters, one more so as the story progresses. The stage business and humorous banter between them shows a comfort between the two that makes them instantly likable and rooting for them at the end. My wish is for this play to be seen far and wide!

Rachel Feeny-Williams is a master of crime drama! And this one has to rank near the top! The characters and dialogue draw you into the mystery immediately. I love trying to play detective, and when an important clue was given, I was still surprised by what it really meant. The plot takes several well planned twists and turns right up to the end! This play will certainly have audiences buzzing at the stunning conclusion!
