Part “Dracula,” part “90210” (I know, I’m dating myself) this sexy romp could go very dark but stays flirty and fun. A light and sometimes funny look at hookups and the dangers of one-night stands that keeps tongue firmly in cheek.

So much wonder and beauty in one page. Lyrical, visual, emotional. So incredibly full of potential for a creative director to bring to life! A lovely ode to the heart in all of us.

A delightful and imaginative adventure in childhood, full of heart and positive messages. The visuals described are a treasure trove for designers, and the over-the-top characters are wonderful opportunities for actors, both adults and kids, to inhabit. Also has a nostalgic feel, like eating cereal while watching cartoons on a Saturday morning. Absolute fun.

Ridiculous fun. A goofy and charming retelling of a classic fairy tale with more than a few modern twists and turns along the way. The unexpected reverses are especially amusing. Parents will find this piece especially enjoyable!

A sweet, slice-of-life piece, observational in nature with a natural flow and a sentimentality that’s really nice in the current state of events. Intimate and lovely.

I must admit, I hadn’t heard of the “what I eat” video trend, but it’s not surprising. This biting short satire slices and dices modern “celebrity,” social media, and the trends that have risen to the surface of the pandemic. Very funny and a great role for a comic actress.

Witty and wild and wonderfully snarky, this ode to Noel Coward captures much of his style and humor. Those familiar with “Private Lives” will especially enjoy this piece. Delightful!

Intense and incredibly creepy. A vivid ghostly tale told with striking visual clarity and real terror that builds both in the “victim” and the audience. An astounding and unsettling and ultimately satisfying tale of supernatural revenge.

A fascinating premise and the perfect science fiction play for these times of virtual performances and social media saturation. Technically intriguing and featuring a story with a strong emotional undercurrent that heightens the drama as “time” passes. Really exciting and easily producible. Fantastic.

A fun and spooky piece, perfect for schools or drama clubs. Great setup, tons of potential for fantastic costumes, and what kid hasn’t wanted to be a Hardy Boy or Nancy Drew and solve a real-life murder? Great fun!
