  • The Fourth Ghost
    27 Apr. 2018
    Fun twist on A Christmas Carol - only with anachronistic characters a few degrees removed from the originals. Socially relevant dialogue makes this tongue-in-cheek short play all the more contemporary and funny. Great choice for a holiday-themed short play festival.
  • The United Plays of America - Nevada - The Loneliest Road in America
    27 Apr. 2018
    If you've ever been out in the remote desert after dark, you know that anything is possible - especially aliens. Moments of humor, sadness and magic make this short play endearing and rich. The sisters' relationship is real, and we even have a good grasp of who mom is though she never makes an appearance. A really fun and funny two-hander that's unpredictable and just a little bit scary in all the best ways. Highly recommend.
  • Inez Cupcakes Starring in: "Math Problems"
    22 Apr. 2018
    Being different can be hard. And being a smart girl good at math brings special challenges, though refreshingly, not because she's a girl. "Math Problems" is the next wonderful installment in Martin's series for children. A cute, warm, hopeful play designed to bring out the best in us. In times like these, this play (and Martin's other two from this series) are perfect choices for school production. Highly recommended.
  • RAMONA, A ZOMBIE NAZI ARMY KILLER WHO HAPPENS TO BE A PRE-TEEN GIRRRL: AN ARCADE MONOLOGUE
    14 Apr. 2018
    So MUCH heart and story packed into this short monologue. And so much that doesn't have to be said to convey Ramona's hopes and fears. What a lovely piece. Highly recommended!
  • 10,000 Years
    5 Apr. 2018
    Time and communication are warped in this lovely, lyrical, image-driven short play. It manages to find an interesting balance between the very real, heart-felt relationship of this couple and the almost unreal, nuclear winter in which they find themselves trapped. Highly recommended.
  • Welcome To The Gun Show
    4 Apr. 2018
    Cleverly disguised as the monologue of an overeager gun shop salesman just trying to make a deal, this dark tongue-in-cheek short walks the audience through various countries' more restrictive gun laws, comparing them all the while to the lax restrictions in the US. Factual without being pedantic, it would make a good street performance piece.
  • Punkin Hayride Love
    30 Mar. 2018
    So wonderfully weird and full of theatrical possibility, this little love story hits all the disturbing notes. A whimsical reminder that love and lovers come in all sorts of disguises. To each his own! A perfect choice for any short festival looking for something a little different.
  • Reading Babar in 2070
    27 Mar. 2018
    How honest are you with your children? What do you choose to be honest about and why? It's not difficult to imagine our children's children being faced with such challenges in the future. A dark and sobering short play.
  • SLEEPYHEAD: A 2-Minute Monologue Play
    23 Feb. 2018
    Who can't relate to that early morning internal dialogue of "Get UP!" This monologue is full of instant energy from the get-go, which makes it a fun piece to watch or perform. And I love Wyndham's embrace of whimsy.
  • Ethnically Ambiguous: A 10-Minute Play
    22 Feb. 2018
    A stylized semi-poem exploring the different ethic identities of four women. Each character represents a point of view, and voices her challenges with intersectionality. A lovely short play that reflects the times in which we live.
