    The pleasant and welcoming tone matches the kind characters within this short play. What's old is new again in more ways than one. We see old junk being reused and also the values of one generation being passed to the next. A good role for a young actress as well!

  • Cam Eickmeyer: Assisted Living by Jeffrey Neuman
    “

    Equal parts frustrating, sad, depressing and still sweet. End of life stories are always hard, but Neuman's Assisted Living takes us inside the collective minds of the patient, the person the patient used to be, and the caregiver. The dialogue is authentic and interactions so real it feels as if you experienced this tense moment in a dire hospital room.

    A lovely, funny short fairy tale that will bring a laugh to every audience member lucky enough to watch! Loaded with witty one-liners and crafted into a LOL ending that is the cherry on top!

  • Cam Eickmeyer: Stuck in the Middle by Paul Braverman
    “

    Satire is best served sharp and Braverman nails it. Everyone is roasted and heat lamped and no one is spared. Left/Right, Believers/Nonbelievers, even the immigration debate sneaks in. So much to fill your plate. Excellent dialogue speeds the play along and requires multiple readings to truly enjoy.

  • Cam Eickmeyer: Tampering with Evidence by Sonia Goldberg

    To change society, one must accept discomfort. Change and comfort do not go together. This short play shoves the reader/viewer head first into that space. Powerful dialogue and intense drama make the short play seem much longer than its running time.

  • Cam Eickmeyer: The NRA Field Guide To The American Family (or a Vision for a More Perfecter Future) by Brian Cern

    There's biting and then there's BITING satire. This is absolutely tearing into gun culture in America. There are some very good dark laughs as well.

  • Cam Eickmeyer: Trapped in Zoom by James Kelsey Nelson
    “

    Underneath the zany, hilarious premise and jokes runs a current of a dysfunctional father failing to connect with his daughter and ex-wife. As in life, he can't get past himself and we can laugh about it because he's just so clueless. The ending made me laugh way too hard to admit.

  • Cam Eickmeyer: The Sentence - 10 Minute Play by Ryan Kaminski
    “

    Capital punishment covers a wide range of emotions and Kaminski hits them all in this powerful short. Indignation, revenge, sorrow, loss, grief. All of it wrapped up in so few pages.

  • Cam Eickmeyer: Christmas Packages (ten-minute play) by Enid Cokinos
    “

    A very sweet holiday short with a nice blend of magic, miracle and maybe a tissue or two at the end. Enid Cokinos does a great job with dialogue as well as setting the story in a unique environment that adds to the charm.

    Silly, authentic, hilarious and oh so so real. Murray's turmoil is the same one we've all had, his anxiety is the same voice we all hear (typed as I look at my weights I put in my office to "lift"). Great ending too.
