    Surprisingly moving and emotional, whether you are religious or not. Peter’s desperation makes for some wonderful conflict and a nice contrast to Jesus. Intimate and intriguing, sad but ultimately uplifting.

    An unexpected encounter leads to a lot of unexpected laughs. Fun wordplay and characters make for a delightful foray into the animal kingdom... in captivity. Definitely an odd-couple scenario that provides lots of opportunities for actors to shine.

    Powerful and heartbreaking. The relationship between these brothers becomes vivid in just a few lines. A deeply emotional piece.

    Sweet with just a tinge of sad. So much emotion packed into so few lines. A lovely, tiny slice-of-life.

    The taboos of inter-generational relationships aren’t usually this fun and flirty, then toss in religion(s) and the wild ride gets wilder. A sweet, emotional foray into unrequited love with laughs and heart a’plenty. Wonderful.

    A brutal adaptation of an actual event, which makes this short piece all the more shattering. Powerful and disturbing, but important and engages the reader with a topic not often discussed.

    A whimsical look at the pandemic, if you can believe it. Fun characterizations bring the”before” and “after” to life in a light and hopeful way, dealing with a decidedly dark topic. It really works.

    Full of hope and hopelessness, and a powerful message. Emotionally full and a great reminder that everyone has their problems that you don’t see or know of, so be careful what you say. Impactful.
