"I believe in our story." And if it were just the story, then this play would still be wonderful; these two long-time friends sharing what could have been. However, it's the end of the world, and so, well, you know what that means. The pacing of this piece is just incredible. I was truly amazed how Byham was able to increase the pace and urgency as the instrument of doom draws near. Incredibly affecting. This has to be one of the best one acts I've read recently and needs a production immediately. Magnificent!

An interesting "meet cute" that definitely has its funny moments sprinkled through some serious matters as well. The final twist is quite entertaining and definitely shows that in this present time, being a successful parent can take many forms. Reyna has a flair for capturing contemporary dialogue with her characters, to be sure. I look forward to reading more of her work in the future!

Sam should take much pride in writing such a funny piece based on this premise. (OK, sorry, got that out of the way.) Just imagining the staging of this put a smile on my face, and then there were many laugh-out-loud moments throughout. That being said, there's also actually some real insight in terms of relationships, societal expectations, and responsibility to be found here. Pretty masterful work for a 10-minute. This is going to be a great entry into any 10-minute festival that chooses to have it.

Chance encounters, or maybe not so left to chance. The structure that Tibbetts provides here is a strong bridge indeed for us to witness to the stories of these two individuals. The empathy shown is strong and convincing. The scenario feels raw and authentic. Sometimes we may find ourselves at these crossroads, staring into the abyss, and one wonders, will there be someone there for us at those times? This play examines this in a thoughtful and moving manner.

Loved this one act... right up my alley when it comes to sci-fi goodness. Definitely a modern "Twilight Zone" scenario that is well written by Fields and poses a very interesting moral dilemma to be considered when it comes to this situation. No easy answers here, and one wonders if we'll be making ethical decisions like this in the very near or far-off future. This was a great science fiction one act that would definitely be great to see on stage.

My sheer admiration for what Perry accomplishes here in 7 brief pages. We are indeed still treated to a very full adventure, and we are able to feel much for all parties involved. How far are we willing to go to achieve our "dreams"? And what happens when those dreams perhaps darken due to the events of life? This play explores those questions very well and left me very much affected by the answers that were suggested. This was a very enjoyable read indeed.

A very interesting and affecting piece. Life and death are examined, but there is no saccharine sentimentality. Instead, there is an unexpected "reality" of where we might find ourselves in life and what might happen in the afterlife. And yet, the resolution of the piece does surprisingly maintain some semblance of hope. The interplay between the four characters in this play - two living, one not, and one about to cross between those planes - is involving and well developed to allow us empathy for all involved. Verisimilitude mixed with the slightly fantastical makes for a well written ten minute.

Sometimes it's good to be kept in the dark. Such is the experience with "A Little Lamb," as we're privy to a conversation that at first seems relegated to obscurity. As it unfolds, however, more is revealed and yet, perhaps, more is obscured. We're left to draw our own conclusions about just what is going on, which is quite thrilling. The play probes, explores, feints, and parries as it twists its way through the labyrinth that seems to be self created. Or is it? Draw your own conclusions as you read and experience this intriguing one act.

A sweet, warm, and funny piece that's very appropriate for senior actors and will be charming to those who get to view them acting the scene. Very enjoyable!

Great little mystery/horror piece here. Great twists, some gruesomeness here and there, and a fast pace that definitely keeps you interested and on the edge of your seat. This would definitely be great to see staged (for those who have a strong stomach, I suppose) or even adapted in audio form. Definitely scratched my horror play itch for tonight's reading, I can tell you that.
