  • Unforgivable
    28 Feb. 2021
    Sharply satirical and suspenseful one-minute play with a very funny (but often, and especially these days, all-too-true) surprise ending. Loved it!
  • Christmas Carol: Fury Road
    27 Feb. 2021
    Hilarious but, to many theater people, all too true monologue that would make a terrific addition to any holiday festival. So fun!
  • Ida Invisible
    27 Feb. 2021
    Fun and charming fairy-tale play with a terrific and funny heroine who learns--and teaches us--some valuable lessons about "living happily ever after." This play is fabulous for all ages and its large cast and themes make it especially wonderful for school productions.
  • Sellswords of Sherwood (Sherwood Cycle #2)
    27 Feb. 2021
    I love history plays and Frandsen’s imaginative riff on the Robin Hood legend is fun and dramatic, a gripping adventure story complete with castle and political hostages. With lots of diverse roles and dialogue that feels both evocative of its time and relevantly modern, this play would work well in professional, community and school settings.
  • Two Socks Discuss Loss
    23 Feb. 2021
    Theatrical and wonderfully moving short play in which two unpaired socks talk--utterly convincingly--about their experiences with grief but also with hope. Loved it!
  • Of Garden Gnomes and Other Tragedies
    23 Feb. 2021
    Wonderfully unusual, funny and super-convincing short play about--and featuring--garden gnomes. This would be great on stage!
  • Black & White/Two Puzzles Walk Into A Bar
    23 Feb. 2021
    Really clever and funny short play with crossword puzzles as characters and lots of rich dialogue. So well done!
  • A Doll's Wife
    23 Feb. 2021
    Hilarious and sharp spin on Barbie and Ken dolls. Loved it!
  • My Heart is a Kaleidoscope (Waiting to be Turned) (1 minute play)
    22 Feb. 2021
    This is so lovely! A wonderful one-minute piece for young actors and audiences (and for us adults too!).
  • Two-Timing Loaf of Bread
    20 Feb. 2021
    Hilarious and clever play I had the pleasure of seeing recently on Zoom, with two terrific roles for female actors. Loved it!
