  • A Doll's Wife

    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!
  • Alcott
    18 Feb. 2021
    Wonderfully fascinating play that keeps surprising us. Revolving around a group of characters who meet at a girls’ college, it explores love, lust, theater, self-identity and the minefields of relationships with humor and great theatricality. I love the pared-down lines which sound so real yet manage to convey all the truth, pain and subtext of these characters. I'd love to see it on stage.
  • TURTLE KID: A NEWBIE ENVIRONMENTAL ACTIVIST MONOLOGUE
    17 Feb. 2021
    I've read other monologues by Asher Wyndham about activist kids and this is just as wonderful as the others. What Wyndham captures so beautifully is these heartbreaking yet hopeful monologues is how much children CARE yet how powerless they really are, even though they keep trying, as Turtle Kid does. The script also contains some marvelous illustrations. Awesome monologue.
  • LIFE AFTER WONDERFUL
    17 Feb. 2021
    Lovely, poignant and truthful short play about family and memory. Its three characters feel so real to me--I would love to see them in another play!
  • Laundry Limbo
    17 Feb. 2021
    Hilarious and compelling short play in which the characters are a sock and a pair of undies. This would be so fun to perform and to watch.
  • Homegirl
    17 Feb. 2021
    Beautiful, moving and theatrical play exploring race and definitions of beauty, and with wonderful characters. Loved it!
  • Arguing With Toasters
    17 Feb. 2021
    Wonderfully inventive and affecting short play from Weaver that sort of defies description because it's so unique. My advice is to read it--it's very moving and impossible to forget.
  • THE BEAT GOES ON 10-minute comedy
    17 Feb. 2021
    Wonderfully funny, skillful and utterly convincing short play with physical comedy and music-related objects--LP, Cassette, 8-track, DC and Mp3--as characters. This would be so fun to perform and to watch!
