Omg…this play is a cuteness overload!

MARTINEAU’s short piece, “To Love Alone” is the perfect example of what it means to love someone even if it’s awkward. A piece that will truly pull at your heartstrings. The lovely addition to any Valentine’s Day (play) celebration.

Masterful. Well written. A romance to die for.

John N Frank’s short piece “The Acting Class” is a sweet and passionate look into togetherness, and what it means to be apart of something even when you come from all walks of life…Shakespeare to American English.

A powerful, beautiful, and inspiring story that is sure to never fizzle out of production repertoires! Well written!

LERMOND’s one minute play is truly something that will warm you like a hot cup of cocoa. A well-written love story for two young actors! Perfect for competition.

LERMOND’s short monologue is a hard look into what it truly means to be a woman in all aspects of life, and how life isn’t just about a four-letter-word.

Rich dialogue meets cold hard truth. A real eye opener and will definitely get land you casted. I could see this for someone auditioning for “Our Town”.

Well done is an understatement. Excellence.

“Retail Therapy” by HAMBLEY is a sweet look into what it means to be working in retail, living paycheck to paycheck, and nearly getting fired due to the factors of just being a person…

This piece is truly authentic. It feels like everyday. It seems to me like the playwright truly lived their life as a retail associate at one time. It’s breathtaking.

“Retail Therapy” is masterful and should be produced over and over until it becomes irrelevant, which to the plays extent, I don’t think it ever will.

That’s how amazing it is. Produce and repeat!

PLUMRIDGE's long titled short is a hoot! There were times where I laughed, and there were times where I thought...uh okay, but laughed right after. A hilariously funny short about where people have 'done their worst' and what happens to them when doing so. For Janet and Malcolm however, a cuddle and another cup of cocoa might 'service' them instead. A wonderfully written piece for any theatre! Well done!

Well Zippy’s got a lot in store with Roger’s witty humor. A lovely little play about affection, and perhaps the summing of a demon. Don Baker is a brilliant and profound dramatist! With his work, and “Feeling Devilish” you will not be disappointed. Perfect for competition. Produce and repeat!

HASS’ play is beautifully written; it’s simple and straightforward. A lovely piece about the world and movement of art. I would love to see this piece of moving “artwork” produced! Well done!

SMITH’s short play “12, Angry, Mean” will surely give a moment of “not what I expected” - making you laugh out loud! Just when you think this about a person, SMITH turns you away, surprised. A lovely little play of good intention. Well done!

As a playwright, are producers truly supposed to understand where the story is coming from and its intentions? Well for Claude, his intentions are final and will do nothing to stop getting his play produced the way he wants it done; the right way. WILLIAMS’ play “Stop Laughing With Me” is a look at just that. What does it truly mean to have your play produced the way the playwright intended. I want to see this produced. Lovely. Masterful. Well done!
