  • The Lesson [a 1-minute play] by Steven G. Martin
    18 Jul. 2019
    “ A moving and very real-feeling minute of theater, which I also had the pleasure of seeing livestreamed by Gi60's One-Minute Play Festival this year. Makes one think hard about how we raise boys. ”
  • The Remote (a ten minute play) by Mark Harvey Levine
    10 Jul. 2019
    “ A gem of a play--so funny and so relatable for anyone who's ever owned a TV. Would be a joy to watch and perform (and direct!). ”
  • In Dreams by Emily Hageman
    26 Jun. 2019
    “ What a play! And what a gift for collaborators. What starts off seeming like one thing quickly turns into something else which turns into something else, making this poetic, theatrical, and gripping play feel ultimately devastating. Another gem from a super-talented playwright with a very sure command of language and the stage. Read it and produce it. ”
  • Hunter, Hunted, and Those Who Watch by Emily Hageman
    22 Jun. 2019
    “ Powerful and compassionate play about bullying that gets right inside the bully, those who are bullied, and those who (at first) watch and do nothing. A beautiful and theatrical work from Hageman that offers numerous staging possibilities and four very strong roles for young performers. I'd love to see this performed. ”
  • Heart in a Box by Matthew Weaver
    13 Jun. 2019
    “ Beautiful play about love and longing that every audience will be able to relate to. I love how these brief, interconnected stories are told entirely through pantomime--so theatrical and moving--and the visual metaphor of the heart is poetic and brilliant. I'd love to see this performed. ”
  • FAMILY BY NUMBERS Award-winning 10-minute drama by Arianna Rose
    13 Jun. 2019
    “ Absolutely wonderful play--beautiful, theatrical, haunting--and astonishing that all of what's going on here takes place in only ten minutes. Would be so powerful on stage. Loved it. ”
  • SUBDUCTION ZONE by Rachael Carnes
    6 Jun. 2019
    “ Powerful play that forces us to reexamine our assumptions about other people's pain. Astonishing that all that power is delivered in a single minute of time. I'd love to see this on stage. ”
  • PETRIFIED by Emma Goldman-Sherman
    4 Jun. 2019
    “ Extraordinary play about trauma and memory, so powerful and impossible to stop thinking about. I love the theatricality of Goldman-Sherman's work and the way she invites collaborators into the unique worlds she creates with her scripts. An important and beautiful play that needs to be seen. ”
  • X by Matthew Weaver
    4 Jun. 2019
    “ Wonderfully fun and imaginative (and smart!) one-minute play that would be a total joy to perform, as well as to see. ”
  • Well, No, But(t) by Emily Hageman
    4 Jun. 2019
    “ Perfectly captures in its single minute what it's like to be a young teenaged girl today and how essential it is for parents to teach their kids how to love themselves and discount other people's judgements. Hageman's dialogue for young people is always spot on and moving, and I love the father-daughter relationship here. A marvel of a one-minute play. ”
