    Kantor's smart, darkly comic and emotionally moving 10-minute play is both an exploration of a startlingly humanlike "domestic robot" and futuristic (or not so futuristic) AI, as well as a metaphor for human aging, the lack of attention paid to women's healthcare issues and the need for women to support each other in our patriarchal society. With two fantastic roles for women, this play wil engross (and entertain!) any audience. Produce it!

    An army of germs--such a fun one-minute play that also reveals some things about germs that should make us feel grateful to them. I love how each "soldier" in this play has a distinct personality, as well as a very funny name!

    I was so curious about what this title could mean and now I know. And it's absolutely hilarious. And I'm still laughing!

    A lovely one-minute play about empathy and really listening, especially perfect for our particular times.

    I love how this one-minute play begins as a laugh-out-loud comedy and then gradually and skillfully becomes something a lot more thought-provoking and even harrowing. I also adore that there's a parrot in this play! Actors will have a blast with this and audiences will be left with much to think about.

  • Jennifer O'Grady: Big Brad Wolf by Ava Love Hanna

    This excellent twist on a fairytale is so much fun to read and I'm sure would be amazing on stage. Ava Love Hanna has crafted hilarious dialogue and created wonderfully surprising characters while smartly exploring themes of personal change and self-acceptance. I would love to see this performed. I also think we need a sequel for Brad, if there's isn't already one!

  • Jennifer O'Grady: Stool Pigeons by Morey Norkin

    Another Morey Norkin play that made me laugh out loud (such a great antidote for our times!). Norkin's ten-minute play features two delightful and surprisingly dignified pigeons, and explores friendship and sensitivity with terrific and very funny dialogue and a hilarious situation. I don't want to provide any spoilers but I believe actors and audiences would have a blast with this play, so check it out!

  • Jennifer O'Grady: I’M FINE – A Teen Monologue by Debra A. Cole

    A moving and extremely truthful monologue about what it's like to live with anxiety if you're a teen. Perfect for teen actors, Cole's monologue also provides a beautiful glimmer of light at the end of the speaker's tunnel, as you will see. Wonderful!
