- Vegetables are Revolting! by7 Apr. 2024“ Very funny and really clever short play featuring talking vegetables. I absolutely loved it! ”
- Persephone Wasn't Hungry That Day by3 Apr. 2024“ This terrific ten-minute play takes on such an important topic and does so with great wit, intelligence, and theatricality. This would be enormous fun to perform and to watch and will also get audiences thinking. So well done! ”
- Playwrights Versus Zombies! by3 Apr. 2024“ Wildly funny and inventive short play that would be a blast to perform. Audiences of all ages will love this! ”
- AFIKOMAN by3 Apr. 2024“ A beautiful play exploring family ties, generational conflicts and the journey toward healing and acceptance. Centering two adult brothers with lingering trauma in their past, who've gathered at the home of one for a Passover Seder, Heyman makes his characters and their struggles feel so real that it's startling to remember after reading that they're characters and not actual living humans. With a lovely and hopeful ending, this would make a wonderful addition to any one-act festival. ”
- I Am the Walrus by24 Mar. 2024“ One of Haas's Beatles song-title-inspired short plays, I AM THE WALRUS is just delightful and wonderfully captures the everyday but, to them, high-stakes powerful struggles between siblings during play. With two fun roles for kids (or even adults playing kids) I AM THE WALRUS makes perfect viewing for all ages. ”
- 153 by22 Mar. 2024“ What a fantastic ten-minute play--moving and beautiful. No surprise that it's had so many productions. The script gives us info about who its three characters are, but for anyone who hasn't read and is instead watching it, the play's story will unfold in a very surprising and wonderfully theatrical way. So well done! ”
- IMPRESSIONS OF PARIS by22 Mar. 2024“ Syran’s marvelously theatrical full-length play with music, set in 1890s Paris, explores the revolutionary Impressionism art movement and centers Suzanne Valadon, an artists’ model, muse and eventual artist, who refuses to be “boxed in” merely because she's a woman. Syran brings to life a plethora of fascinating characters including Monet, Manet, Renoir, Van Gogh, Degas, Toulouse-Lautrec and many others, as well women painters Berthe Morisot and Mary Cassatt who struggle for the same opportunities their male contemporaries receive. The play offers flexible casting and provides a unique theatrical experience that I would love to see on stage! ”
- GWEN HAS A DATE by14 Mar. 2024“ Absolutely delightful and funny play about friendship and connections, with four wonderful roles for older actors and characters any audience would love. So good! ”
- Sisters from the Same Mister by7 Mar. 2024“ Cole's ten-minute drama is a moving exploration of family and what it means, as two middle-aged sisters meet, for the first time, the younger sister they never knew they had. With an engrossing and (thanks to DNA websites) realistic situation and three great roles for women, this play is sure to connect with audiences everywhere. ”
