This is so sweet and clever! You’ll want to follow these two characters to try to find out how they handle the big unanswered question. For such a short play, it will certainly leave audiences talking… and smiling.

Mad scientist or not, would you try to bring back the dead if you thought you could? And how might that play out? Aly Kantor provides some insight as a scene is replayed with various results: comic, haunting (as in spooky), and haunting (as in lingering in the memory). It’s this last result that has the greatest effect. This is a play that will linger in your memory long after you read or see it.

Lou Jones has crafted a charming play that contrasts the vanity and shallowness of today’s influencer culture with the resilience of a couple of generations earlier. With Libby, the young influencer, onstage alone for most of the play, we get to see her growth as she begins to understand the treasure in her grandmother’s attic. Beautifully done.

This is a great new look at the classic three little pigs and the big bad wolf. Marcia Eppich-Harris not only treats us to the comical home life of Big Bad and wife , Queenie, but she also presents a terrific satire of capitalism and corporate greed. This would be so much fun to see on stage!

This is so delightful! The banter and gentle teasing between these two men shows the familiarity that comes with a long-term relationship, but they’ve certainly lost none of the spark. Don Baker’s word play is hysterical, from the name of the downstairs coffee shop to various gay porn titles. And then there’s the universal theme of growing old(er). Baker handles this with a nice light touch and throws in a zinger at the end. This absolutely needs to be staged!

Talk about making an entrance! And, unfortunately for Festus, an exit at the same time. This is hysterical to read and I imagine even more so to see staged! And you can do just that if you happen to be in or around Chestetown, Maryland, June 23 to July 9!

Sometimes the less said in a job interview, the better. That’s not the case in Rachel Feeny-Williams’ clever satire, in which she skewers high-tech corporate culture, particularly the “boys club” aspect. As an interviewer under the influence of a truth drug holds nothing back, audiences will laugh and cringe at each revelation. A great two-hander for female actors.

What a delight! Great to see this young, self-absorbed influencer get schooled! Coincidentally (or not), the name of the SUNBRELLA brand, Orokamono, means “fool” in Japanese. And as we see in this brilliant short, a fool and her money are soon parted. Two great roles for females of very different ages. Would love to see this staged!

Funny, tense, thoughtful, all in 10 minutes. Expertly crafted, with an ending that will leave audiences talking. No wonder it has received so many productions. Highly recommended!

Reminiscent of Lenny from Of Mice and Men, Olly, in this monologue from Christopher Plumridge, is a giant of a young man who doesn’t know his own strength or possess the intellect to understand his actions. There is a sweetness and innocence to the character but this story is at heart a tragedy, and a beautifully written one at that.
