A beautiful piece. Wonderful moments. A message that's very much needed. I went from a lump in my throat to an audible gasp at one point. Thank you for this, Aly. Thank you for reminding us that we can be the light to others. And also reminding others that if they need the light, reach out to those that can provide it. Everyone is loved. We can be the ones to provide that love light as needed. Read this piece. I guarantee it will affect you as well. And this should be staged everywhere possible.

The ideas here are intriguing to me, and I wish to subscribe to the newsletter. You'll probably want to subscribe as well after you read this humorous monologue. For as much time as we have to read it...

An incredibly inventive journey here. Not surprising, coming from the ever creative and admiringly offbeat mind of Donley. The Player should provide a magnificent acting opportunity for the actor that gets a chance to bring it to life. Beyond that, there's a tremendous amount to unpack as we move along from "car" to "car." Moving monologues, darkly absurd humor to flavor the mix, and even some pointed and necessary commentary on our current age. This play's got it all.

This was wonderful. Fully realized characters in a very short time, and an excellent exploration of grief, loss, and just how we sometimes deal with that. At the same time, it's a warm and welcoming holiday vignette. No small feat, but Baughfman pulls it off beautifully. (As a sci fi person myself, I also loved the references!) An effective play that would do very well in any festival that would have it. Holiday or not. It's definitely a good piece to read if you're in the holiday mood!

I really loved this. You think at first it's a humorous homage to something else, but along the way it becomes its own delicious thing. A lot of laugh out lines here... trust me on that. But there's some insight as well, hidden amongst all the good humor, and at the end, you might just find yourself thinking about things in this particular arena a little more. And then you'll laugh again. A great one act that definitely puts its best face on and shines into the stars.

Hoo boy, does Hilder set the mood early on and drive it home with the finish. Terrifically frightening and full of atmosphere. What a great short piece of horror theater goodness!

Deliciously funny, and I'm not just talking about the Pie. Or am I? Eye get confused sometimes. Anyway, there's a delirious amount of references, in-jokes, out-jokes, and plain old spoofy noir and Christmas fun here. I'm definitely going to go back and check out the other episodes. If they're as delightful as this one is, I know I'm in for a real treat.

An incredibly engrossing one act that explores a hell of a lot of morality in a brief amount of time. Busser has a piece here that will definitely leave you talking after you read or see it.

An enjoyably comic monologue. Kept me smiling the whole way through. Great performance piece here that Karp has generated. Well done!

A lovely piece. I thought the concept was just great right off the bat, and then we get a very funny scenario that unfolds from it. Touching as well! A good treatise on love and why we love whom we do found in the middle of the narrative. Great work by Feeny-Williams here.
