    This is an engaging short piece that captures the love/hate relationship some have with their pets. Outwardly, it is clear Paul never showed his true feelings for what is now going to be a big hole in his life. Powerful, relatable, and heart-breaking.

  • Neil Radtke: Weather it Out by Rachel Feeny-Williams
    “

    Oh, the perils of public spaces. I enjoyed reading this play as it definitely builds nicely to a funny climax. I mean, obviously, those OTHER people are trying to ruin our day on PURPOSE! Believable characters and a situation we can all relate to in some way.

    Wow. Powerful from the very beginning, this monologue packs quite a punch in a short amount of time. Raw and real, this is a piece that will stick with you far after the final word. Well done.

  • Neil Radtke: Towel's It Hangin'? by Emily McClain
    “

    This is a fun and fast-paced monologue that provides a snapshot of what it must have been like on those first ill-fated cruise ships. McClain does a great job in crafting a scene that captures the seriousness of the moment as well as the stress of the overall experience this character is enduring.

  • Neil Radtke: FOR RICHARD, FOR POORER by Steven G. Martin

    I had the pleasure of seeing this performed in the 8th annual Civic Theatre of Greater Lafayette 10-min play festival. This was a hysterical play that ended on an extremely touching note. Martin has created a play that would be a delight to perform. Very well done!

    This play will grip you from the very first word. A lifetime of family history is condensed masterfully by Cathro in these few pages. A life lived and a legacy passed on...captivating stuff.

    As our loved ones age, we all fear that we can provide for them suitable care while also maintaining our own hectic schedules. While this may be cumbersome to us at times, Feeny-Williams shows that being replaced isn't what we want either. This is an amazingly strong play that hits home in so many ways.

  • Neil Radtke: Are you ready to order? by Megan Ann Jacobs

    This is a very impactful monologue that brings to light a lot of truths about the inner struggle so many who have this affliction face every day. Jenny has reached a breaking point and the explosion of emotion cuts deep. Excellent piece that sends a strong message.
