Zombies wax philosophical and it’s a laugh riot! Can’t wait to listen to this one on the Broken Arts Entertainment podcast.

Back with new names and lots of attitude, these seven dwarves mean business. If they can’t do a panto, they’ve got lots of other ideas! This is just plain fun! Lots of laughs for the whole family. Can’t wait for the Spielberg movie!

Anastasia Wild offers us a modern take on the Cinderella fairytale with clever dialogue and a believable scenario. Katie may not have met her Prince Charming, as she is certain they don't exist, but in Dan she has at least met someone who did the right thing at the right time. And maybe that's all these two are meant to share. Who knows? The speculation will keep audiences buzzing.

What a beautifully crafted piece that perfectly juxtaposes a tender post war reunion with a visit to the same spot 60 years later. In the first instance, we see a young soldier meeting his sweetheart at their favorite park bench, eager to forget his wartime experience In the latter, we see the same fellow unable to remember more than that meeting. This one certainly pulls at your heartstrings. So well done.

An endearing tale of the “second” twin turns tragically into the tale of the surviving twin. A simple set and Elizabeth Shannon’s exquisite narrative combine to heighten the impact of this haunting, emotional piece. Outstanding.

I’m a lot older than 15, but I think I would still be tongue-tied if I met Lin Manuel Miranda. This is a cute and clever story not only about hero worship but about finding your own voice. And one crazy app. Another wonderful TYA entry for Claudia Haas!

On a car ride down a long, dark road, two young women are in search of a ghost. But Aly Kantor flips the script, and a humorous story suddenly reveals serious undertones. The subject matter is handled with great care, just as you would hope in a real-life situation. Beautiful.

So well done and so darn creepy. From the secluded forest setting to the spooky campfire stories, Daniel Prillaman grabs our attention only to shock us with the horrifying underlying story. This needs to become a Halloween staple.

THE DOG is a first-rate example of the wonder that is Ricardo Soltero-Brown’s dialogue. Always authentic, often absurd, and laced with a sense of heightened desperation. Characters A and B, like most of us, want to be seen, needed, noticed. There’s the unseen titular dog who probably wants the same things and ends up acting out in unsettling ways. There’s so much more to discover than one reading permits. Good thing it’s a fast read. Would absolutely love to see this on stage.

Reading this in light of the recent lies about pet eating and the resulting dangers to a community, I found this to be a timely cautionary tale. In this case, reason prevails. Adam Richter presents an immensely entertaining dialogue between the vulnerable Margery and the kindly Dr. Harvey. Definitely deserving of a wider audience.
