  • Greg Mandryk: Sacrifice

    Leave it to Jacquelyn Floyd-Priskorn to find the overlap between “good clean fun” and “ritualistic demon worship”. I loved the bantering acolytes and the twist at the end is simply delicious!

  • Greg Mandryk: Last Call for Curtain Call

    What a treat this would be for three talented comic actors. Whatever your theatre experience, you'll be sure to relate to at least one of these three characters, and the interplay among the trio is a thing of beauty.

  • Greg Mandryk: Bonefruit

    There is so much fascinating and intricate detail worked into this short, intimate play that you can't help but want to take a peek outside the confines of the scene we're shown to see the elaborate world in which these characters live.

  • Greg Mandryk: Hell Toupée

    Few playwrights are as dedicated to ensuring their audiences have a fun time as John Busser, and Hell Toupee is further proof of that commitment. He takes a fun premise and carries it to absurd and outrageous lengths. With great opportunities for sight gags and physical comedy, this one would be a blast to produce!

  • Greg Mandryk: Sterile Processing

    Anyone wanting to learn how to write dystopian sci-fi/horror should give Sterile Processing a read. Rather than boring the audience with exposition detailing exactly how badly society of the future has fallen, Ava O'Dea simply presents a short scene wherein we get a prophetic glimpse of the world that has not yet come to pass, while giving us clues as to what horrors lie just outside of our vision. Very well done!

  • Greg Mandryk: Welcome to the Fair

    It's damn near criminal that I'm only the third NPX review for this delightful gem of a play. Also, I don't see anything about this play's production history. Please tell me that it's had several stellar productions and Straton Rushing was just too lazy to list them when he uploaded the script to NPX.

    It's fun, it's heartwarming, and it's full of characters who are just too damn lovable! Give it a read. Or, better yet if you're in a position to do so, a production!

  • Greg Mandryk: Everything Here Is So Delicious (short)

    With Everything Here Is So Delicious, David Hilder puts blinders on his audience, so they are only able to view a couple of old friends enjoying a fine dining experience, while being constantly bombarded with clues as to how far gone the world just outside their view has deteriorated.

    This is a horrifying vision that works both as a prediction of a dystopian future that may come to pass and as a bleak metaphor for the one we currently live in. Creepy, chilling, and very well done!

  • Greg Mandryk: SELLSOUL

    Jonny Bolduc gives us a Faustian bargain with a comic spin. A writer sells their soul for $10,000 (which should cover a lot of submission fees).

    I particularly loved the "polite cultist". Just because you're acquiring souls in service to your demonic master doesn't mean you have to be a jerk.

    It's short. It's fun. There's no reason you shouldn't give it a read.

  • Greg Mandryk: mrs. reynolds

    This is an absolute whirlwind of absurdity that will help to fill that Christopher Durang-sized hole in your heart. Highly recommended!

  • Greg Mandryk: RAVINE (a 1-min stage play)

    Michele Clarke packs a lot of drama into a few short pages. A good play for reminding your audience to drive home safely.
