  • Antagonism, or, Some People Like to P*ss in the Pool [a 1-minute play]
    25 Oct. 2021
    Martin manages to pack a lot of tense action into this one-minute play. Clever use of a simple prop to underscore the protagonist’s goal, too.
  • Alone, Alone, Alone, Alone, Alone [a 1-minute play]
    25 Oct. 2021
    In this short, Martin captures the literal air of despair. All the concentrated, raw emotion stripped of any physical interference. Pure misery shown like a painting made of words. Powerful.
  • The Profession (Full-length play)
    16 Oct. 2021
    In “The Profession”, the seedy under bellies of two career paths are exposed, but just which profession is more corrupt isn’t entirely clear. Gender, class, and capitalism all collide resulting in a paradise lost, one that perhaps never was. Set to a smart, literary backdrop, Eppich-Harris hands down this authentic indictment of academia. A truly well written play. Highly recommended.
  • Cornered
    10 Sep. 2021
    Don't tread on this snake. Schlomann gives us a clever political metaphor when opposites, paralyzed by fear, find themselves in the proverbial dark cave confronting an invisible enemy. Sharp, witty, and smart.
  • Scavengers (Ten Minute Play)
    10 Sep. 2021
    Sometimes serendipity can come from the most unexpected places, ushered in by the most unexpected people. A short play about being open to possibilities in all their shapes and forms. Sweet!
  • The Cardinal
    6 Sep. 2021
    A bird with a message provides mother and son an opportunity to learn about science and compassion in an unexpected way. And maybe just maybe...dad really is behind the message all along. Warm, thoughtful, and poignant. Just lovely.
  • Psychic Healing
    6 Sep. 2021
    Psychics always prove to be fertile ground for hilarious miscommunication (because of course), but Loraine’s play brings a warmth to this short comedy. A lovely piece about connection, loss, and the meaning of caring - and the many ways we go about it. Sweet.
  • Annnd Scene (of the Crime)
    27 Jul. 2021
    A clever interrogative improve or an improvisational interrogation, this silly mash up solves the crime and surreptitiously exposes some latent inclinations, making Milch the most brilliant detective ever. A lot of fun!
  • Kicking
    16 Jul. 2021
    Like Waiting for Godot set in the womb, this funny yet oddly warm short play explores life on the inside. A lot of fun!
  • Flame White
    14 Jul. 2021
    What I look forward to most in a Max Gill play is being shown a familiar slice of Americana through a unique cultural lens and the prismatic effect it creates. A lot of peaks and valleys are traversed in this one-act. We exercise loss and grief, freedom and obligation, as the binds that keep people together while also driving them apart. "I can’t think of anything else that everybody gets in life, so why should everyone get love?" Authentic and moving. A lovely play.
