  • THE SEVERED HEAD ATOP THE TREE HAS A FEW THINGS TO SAY ABOUT THE HOLIDAY
    23 Dec. 2023
    Funny and absolutely delightful holiday play that wonderfully combining the loneliness of a broken tree ornament, a destructive pet cat, and two humans who don't quite get what the holidays should be about. Super-fun for all ages!
  • Sometimes, When It’s Night, I Run Through the Neighborhood Naked and No One’s Caught Me Yet
    18 Dec. 2023
    A beautiful and unusual holiday two-hander that's moving and full of surprises. Just wonderful.
  • Satan At Walmart (A Ten-Minute Play)
    18 Dec. 2023
    The absolutely wonderful title drew me in, but the play itself kept me reading and laughing. McLindon's Satan has a fabulously dry sense of humor (and fantastic lines) and the two young human characters enmeshed in their own very funny rom-com are also delightful. No doubt this short play would be a gigantic hit with audiences everywhere. I'd love to see it!
  • An Angel Comes to Brooklyn
    18 Dec. 2023
    A tarot reading draws two women closer together in a way that feels both surprising and wonderfully inevitable. A lovely and unique play for the holidays!
  • White Cotton, Black Light
    18 Dec. 2023
    Poignant and truthful play exploring vulnerability and the fear of not being good enough, as two very different men meeting for a casual hook-up find themselves emotionally drawn together in a way they hadn't quite expected. Lovely.
  • Annnd Scene (of the Crime)
    15 Dec. 2023
    Super-fun and really unique ten-minute play that would be so much fun to see and to perform. No surprise that it's had so many productions. Would love to see this on stage!
  • On the Eighth Day of Hanukkah My True Love Gave to Me
    15 Dec. 2023
    A lovely and moving holiday play that also manages to be very funny. With two great roles for older actors, this would be a wonderful addition to any festival of short holiday plays.

    Martin's ten-minute play hilariously (and so aptly!) skewers the evaluation of art by those who believe they know what's "good" and what isn't. With fun roles for female actors and great for all ages, this would be a hit in any short-play festival.
  • The Mrs. Claus Experiment (3)
    14 Dec. 2023
    It is SO much fun to read Soucy's four different short and individually unique plays that subvert, in various hilarious ways, the traditionally accepted notions of Santa's wife. All four should be consecutively produced in the same show, and would be so much fun for audiences!
  • Water Damage
    14 Dec. 2023
    Powerful and theatrical ten-minute play about past and present suffering. So gripping!
