  • Brent Alles: Tipping

    Loved this. So much good conversation between two characters who continue to surprise you with the twists and turns that occur. Nothing like a little existential rom-com for the soul. Totally enjoyed it!

  • Brent Alles: VOLUNTEER

    Loved this slice of life between these two opposites who find a connection over diced peaches and so much more. A lot of funny lines and some poignant, moving touches as well. This would be great for any theater to add to their 10-minute festival. The audience is totally going to enjoy it!

  • Brent Alles: I'll get to it: A Ten-Minute Play

    I was not prepared for the impact that comes toward the end of this. However, that made it all the more wrenching and moving when it arrived. A sobering yet still hopeful look at what we do when we can't make up our actions to those we have wronged. How do we move forward from that? Vaughan provides a rather thoughtful look at just how one might. A tremendous ten minute that will stay with an audience that gets the privilege of seeing it.

  • Brent Alles: ROOTS

    Cole delights with this
    A meditation on life
    The joy we still find.

    (OK, Michael, that was probably as awful as your students, but what can I say? I was inspired. And this play is definitely inspirational. These days, I need to read things where people can still find hope amongst all the chaos, and you definitely get that here. A nice warm fuzzy to bring a close to Day 1 of Facing February. Not surprisingly, Cole knocked her first day out of the park.)

  • Brent Alles: SESAME STREET DAY

    Pitch black satire here on the end of the Mucking Fuppets, as they used to call them on SNL. Miller sticks the knife in well here when it comes to current events and the end (perhaps) of "Sunny Days." I dug it.

  • Brent Alles: Change is Good

    Lovely little "slice of life". Loved seeing Brandon put this couple through their paces and still find an effective resolution. There is hope! Especially on the 4th. Good short piece here!

  • Brent Alles: OVERSPENDING, OUT OF CONTROL

    It's all fun and games until the credit runs out. Mackling captures this kind of marital crisis well in this short piece. The nifty trick is that you still feel some sympathy for Berta. If anything, "Shopping Reminding Day" is so drilled into us via our consumerist society... can you really blame her? Well, sure, but still, food for thought in terms of just what leads to this type of out of control situation. Jaxson got a lot of bang out of the buck for this piece, if you'll pardon the pun.

  • Brent Alles: This International Women's Day Is Going To Be Different

    What a powerful statement on the unfortunate state of things for women these days. Ramsey punches you right in the gut with what's simply (yet so effectively) stated here. We need to feel that punch in the gut, however. This "one minute" play is going to stick with you. I know it's sticking with me.

  • Brent Alles: Different

    Pretty incredible that you can capture hopelessness and yet still promise hope in one minute. And yet I shouldn't be surprised that Jacquie pulled it off. A powerful statement of where we find ourselves now.

  • Brent Alles: Rodent Fortune Teller

    Such a funny and unhinged monologue. I'm going to read it again and again. Great stuff!
