  • Go Ask D'Alice by Vicki Vodrey
    22 Oct. 2017
    “ A very poignant story about love, loss and loneliness. Hilarious and touching, "Go Ask D'Alice" makes the bizarre understandable and the tragic sympathetic. Saw this at the Midwest Dramatists Conference outside of Kansas City and when it ended I had a strong desire to know more about these two characters. A very special play. ”
  • VALERIE: A COSPLAY MONOLOGUE by Asher Wyndham
    22 Oct. 2017
    “ This is an all-out 10-minute assault for a female actor; a real workout. Says what it needs to, and says it loud and in your face. Especially now as the voices of the women who have been disrespected, from scuzzy comments to physical abuse, are now making themselves more front-and-center, this is a good choice to include in a repertoire or production. Well done. ”
  • A Moment of Clarity by Philip Middleton Williams
    15 Oct. 2017
    “ A very well crafted short piece about a Moment (yes, capitalized) in a father/son relationship. Written with tenderness, yet very truthful, "Clarity" explores a single touching episode yet resonates outward and to the future: one man's satisfaction in a life "sensibly" lived, and the juxtaposition of his son's, which is not so solidly grounded. A lovely moment with much heart. ”
  • moonlit by Everett Robert
    6 Oct. 2017
    “ Sheer tragedy; a tortured family, and who knows? Maybe we do fail to move on until things are settled. Tense and lean, this work by Everett Robert is the perfect play for horror fans and Halloween festivals. Keep a blanket nearby. ”
  • Pix of Your Partner's Privates by Dave Osmundsen
    6 Oct. 2017
    “ So, like AWKWARD??? One man's attempt to inject a little sauciness into his relationship with his GF does not go as well as he'd imagined. Backtracking, apologies, and spot-on humor propel this couple through a real turning point. Cleverly done, this work shows you the soul behind the selfies. ”
  • The Show Must NOT Go On! by Kelly McBurnette-Andronicos
    2 Oct. 2017
    “ THIS is the Shakespeare play I have always wanted to see. Chaotic, side-splittingly funny, and such an affectionate homage to The Bard. Extremely recommended! ”
  • El Loro, El Gato y El Espiritu Santo (or The Parrot, the Cat and the Holy Ghost) by Kelly McBurnette-Andronicos
    2 Oct. 2017
    “ Kelly has a wonderful ear for dialogue and a heart full of warmth for her characters, each of whom is special in her own way and so fully human. A hilarious situation just gets crazier and every choice made amplifies the delicious discomfort. ”
  • THE WAY IT IS by Donna Hoke
    4 May. 2017
    “ An extremely disturbing work. Read it a few days ago and still processing it. Re-read it again. Neither character is all that sympathetic and each shows cruel tendencies; one wonders how they made it through eight years together. Still, a very powerful piece that challenges traditional ideas of dominance, sexual tactics, and violence. This would make a hell of a performance with the right actors. ”
  • The Diplomats by Nelson Diaz-Marcano
    3 May. 2017
    “ It's what happens as life moves on inexorably and we try to stay true to our core values. Problem is we don't change the way the world around us does--it changes much faster. Take three people who used to know each other and bring them together when something critical--like an election--is about to happen. Between the things we do to survive and the things we think we believe, or want to believe that we believe, that's where "The Diplomats" comes in. This play cuts hard into the dreams we think we still have and the ones we abandoned. ”
  • The Resignation by Daniel Guyton
    11 Feb. 2017
    “ What a nebbish! Funny, in a pathetic sort of way. if you ever need a piece about someone who really, REALLY doesn't get it, this is the short mono for you. ”
