Something as mundane as underwear shopping becomes so much more through the lens of Vince Gatton. As touching as it is comedic.

I love this! It's creepy. Or is it? There isn't really any sense of menace behind Joe's mysterious antagonist. But as the drama unfolds and the messages become more and more outlandish, you're left thinking, "They can't be human! They just can't be! What do they want?"
Joe's insistence that there is nothing to worry about in spite of all evidence to the contrary is the icing on the cake.

Vampires started out as monsters and then somewhere along the line became romanticized. A deluge of vampire stories wherein the monster who feeds off of everyone else falls hopelessly in love with the protagonist began to emerge. Scott Sickles reminds us that vampires are monsters and there are no happy endings dealing with such people in this tense, effective short horror story. Well done!

With beautifully written dialogue and vivid characters, this play makes the actor in me say, "Ooh! I wanna do that!" Great work!

My kind of play! It's light and fun... and then it isn't. By the time you realize it's not just trying to tickle your funny bone, the knife is already in. Good stuff!

Many ten-minute dramas attempt too much, trying to condense an entire relationship or an entire lifetime into a few short pages and the result is usually an exposition-laden slog. Cam Eickmeyer keeps it simple and effectively elicits the reader’s emotions in this touching, heartfelt piece. Well done!

A nice, tender-hearted piece, yet with a biting social critique. Through Daisy, we get a glimpse at the indifference, prejudices, and predatory urges of the humans around her. An excellent showcase for actresses.

The tragedy of main character Adam isn't that he is confined to an underground bunker during WW3, but that his life outside the bunker was so empty that he dreads the loneliness and abandonment he'll face if the war ends and his shelter mates are allowed to return to the surface. What could be a depressing slog of a story due to its subject matter is kept light and very entertaining in the capable hands of Samantha Cocco.

It seamlessly transitions from comedy to sci-fi to a horror piece wherein the hapless victim meets a fate worse than death. Morey Norkin delivers a fun piece teeming with eerie surrealism.

Classic Busser. It's a pun-loving nod to the classic Universal Studio monster flicks.
