  • Paperweight, a Monologue by Francis RTM Boyle
    22 Jan. 2022
    “ Powerful and scary monologue delivered, seductively and frighteningly, by a gun to its owner or some other potential user--"without you, I'm a paperweight." A really fantastic piece we need right now. ”
  • 'E'Scape by Christopher Plumridge
    19 Jan. 2022
    “ An earnest inventor brings his new virtual-reality invention to a TV game show, hoping to win, and gets rather more "reality" than he bargained for, in Plumridge's very funny short play. Actors and audiences would have so much fun with this. The tongue-twisting dialogue is a delight! ”
  • Nan - A 10-Minute Play by Noa Gardner
    15 Jan. 2022
    “ Beautiful and devastating ten-minute two-hander with two fantastic roles for women including an older woman. And that ending, wow! ”
  • Tropes I Hate: The Title of the Play We're In by Scott Sickles
    12 Jan. 2022
    “ From the very first scene description--no, actually, from the title itself--you just know you're in the hands of a master writer. Sickles' play is hilarious and I wish it were longer because I loved reading it so much. ”
  • 10% by Emily Hageman
    12 Jan. 2022
    “ Fantastic monologue in the voice of a teen girl who cuts herself. It's so clear from this monologue and much of Hageman's other very wonderful work that she understands teens inside-out and is therefore able to give them a voice they don't always get to have. Such a gift to young performers and teens who don't always see themselves accurately or adequately represented in theater or heard in today's world. ”
  • PROVIDENCETOWN by Billie Murray
    11 Jan. 2022
    “ Very funny and heartwarming comedy/adventure play combining LGBTQ themes with organized crime, a drag bar and a collection of surprising characters we come to love. Murray has a gift for writing characters who fall under the radar of ordinary law-abiding life yet are still extremely likable, and for writing physical comedy as this play contains. I had the pleasure of hearing a reading and it was clear that the actors loved performing it. Loads of fun! ”
  • Angie 4.0 by Amara Janae Brady
    7 Jan. 2022
    “ Phenomenally powerful and theatrical ten-minute play investigating white privilege and centering the only Black woman at a table with people she had viewed as friends. Highly recommend and hope it receives many productions. ”
  • THIS HAPPENED ONCE AT THE ROMANCE DEPOT OFF THE 1-87 IN WESTCHESTER by Gina Femia
    26 Dec. 2021
    “ I love the unusual setting of this play, the realistic dialogue and deep humanity of its characters, all of whom are seeking and all of whom surprise us in different ways. A lovely and moving play about loneliness from a master playwright. ”
  • Polar Opposites by Jacquelyn Floyd-Priskorn
    14 Dec. 2021
    “ Who can resist a play about penguins? Not I. But Floyd-Priskorn's short comedy is about more than penguins, as it also, cleverly, spotlights issues of parenting and relationships. Great fun for all ages. ”
  • It's A Wonderful Satan by John Mabey
    14 Dec. 2021
    “ Charming dark comedy spoofing "It's a Wonderful Life" and giving us a new window onto the Lord of Darkness, who's having self-esteem problems. Great holiday fun! ”
