  • Love • Trust • Escalation by Robert J. LeBlanc
    15 Jun. 2021
    “ The volleying of adoration sets the tone wonderfully, but the real fun comes with the one-upsmanship that follows. Uber dramatic and just as hilarious, this short piece is smart and sassy and just a tad scandalous. Great fun! ”
  • Cabfare For The Common Man (a ten minute play) by Mark Harvey Levine
    15 Jun. 2021
    “ A wild ride indeed! Furiously fast and funny, but with a solid core full of heart. The writing and concepts are top notch, it’s far deeper than you’ll realize at first, and there’s plenty to challenge actors and technicians alike. Absolutely thrilling to read, I’d love to see this mounted. Thumbs up! ”
  • One is the Road by Mark Loewenstern
    15 Jun. 2021
    “ The unusual structure of this piece is so incredibly well-used, it feels part play, part monologue, part free verse. Loewenstern’s words will fill your head with far more than seven thoughts about this play. Unique, dramatic, impactful, and visual. The drama builds and builds well, and although you know the final destination you still feel the tension rising until the climax. Just excellent. ”
  • Catch/Release by Elisabeth Giffin Speckman
    15 Jun. 2021
    “ Incredibly vivid and nuanced characters inhabit a world that’s mundane and sometimes ugly in this stunning work. The language and visuals are beautifully crafted and emotionally impactful, and the relationships and driving forces shift in unexpected and complicated ways, drawing the reader in. Sad and lovely work. Highly recommended. ”
  • The Angel by Robert J. LeBlanc
    13 Jun. 2021
    “ A creepy, dark piece with a slow burn… Unsettling in tone and intriguing, keeping you hooked and guessing where the final destination will be. Great roles and great challenges for both lights and sound, this is a ride worth taking. Hop on… ”
  • Sock Puppet Fetish Noir by Kelly McBurnette-Andronicos
    13 Jun. 2021
    “ A ridiculous romp through the sock drawer of the psyche! Hilarious visuals and dialogue, ridiculous physical humor, and the perfect ending. Super fun! ”
  • Familiar - Audio Version by Robert J. LeBlanc
    11 Jun. 2021
    “ Intimate and full of the same heartbreak that the stage version contains, this emotional piece is a wonderful challenge for the actor portraying the son to sink their teeth into, especially compared to the gruff bravado of the father. Poignant and lovely, sad and hopeful, this tale of the quiet ravages of dementia will stay with you. An absolutely beautiful piece. ”
  • Ashes To Ashes by Emily McClain
    10 Jun. 2021
    “ Sibling rivalry (well, half-siblings) about their mother’s last wishes propel this play into an exploration of parental responsibilities and the psychological ramifications of having imperfect parents. The brothers have a very yin-yang vibe which fuels the humorous dialogue, despite some heavy subject matter, and the final solution to their problem is hysterically perfect as I picture it in my head. Great fun! ”
  • Horny Orderly - A Symphony of Sex and Sorrow in 11 Minutes & 47 Seconds by C. Julian Jiménez
    10 Jun. 2021
    “ An intense and graphic short - full of dramatic flair, music, sex (or rather the pursuit of), and despair. The clinical setting is all too familiar, and about as far from sexy as you can get, but the play dances through themes of avoidance, coping, lust, ANYTHING to focus on BUT cancer. Sad, harsh, unexpected, and incredible. ”
  • MILLICENT AND MARLEE'S MINCE PIE MISADVENTURE - MONOLOGUE by Vivian Lermond
    10 Jun. 2021
    “ It certainly lives up to the title! This solo romp would be great fun for an actor to sink her teeth into. Funny from beginning to end and full of snappy dialogue that sounds like it was taken verbatim from the town gossip. A delight! ”
