  • That Moment When ...
    19 Jun. 2021
    You’re going to get something truly heartfelt from any Steve Martin play, and “That Moment When...” is one of his most touching. If you’ve ever been in love, you’ll relish in what Martin walks you through here. His use of the experimental format makes this piece all the more effective. Challenging roles for two actors. Another knock-out from Mr. Martin. So very well done.
  • The Invitation
    18 Jun. 2021
    Energetic and engaging from the start, this monologue hits peaks and valleys with such precision, it makes a wonderful vehicle for actors to show their emotional range. A solid character with lovely, supporting dialogue. Favorite line "I finally got what you always wanted for me!". Beautiful!
  • The Right Man
    17 Jun. 2021
    Feeny-Williams has the British crime genre down pat in this short drama about shifting identities and shifty loyalties. Complex and layered, the writer leaves us hanging in a really fun way. And I enjoyed pondering what happens next. (Psst...I have faith Detective O’Phelan will catch up with the perps!)
  • Places

    I’m a sucker for metatheatre and a sucker for flip-flopping realities, and this play has both. But Martineau doesn’t stop at form, using the “diversity and inclusion” theme as his vehicle. A really fun, short play, perfect for high school festivals, that also carries a meaningful message. Got an upcoming competition? Check this one out!
  • Making Soap
    12 Jun. 2021
    Even if you don’t appreciate handmade soap, you’ll get where Ariel is coming from. A day in the life of lockdown and the smallest things that tortured or kept us going. Cathro captures that in fine detail through this short play.
  • How to Talk to Your Child About BDSM
    12 Jun. 2021
    This play will make you want to curl up in a ball and die laughing. If you’re a parent - or have ever been a kid- you’ve been here, though maybe not precisely in this form. Painfully funny!
  • The Sentence - 10 Minute Play
    10 Jun. 2021
    Empathy and revenge are served raw in this short play set in one of the darkest places imaginable. Heavily laden with foreboding, it ends just as you know it will. And that’s what’s so upsetting. This one will stay with you a while.
  • She Fed the Devil (10 minute play)
    2 Jun. 2021
    The lesson of this play? Should you ever meet Satan, do not engage! A fun, irreverent short play perfect for any 10 minute festival.
  • GOLDFISH MOBILITY
    2 Jun. 2021
    Goldfish logic is something we can all get behind. A short monologue that simultaneously has me rooting for Gyda while being thankful she's not my partner. A fun read!
  • The People You Meet in Heaven
    2 Jun. 2021
    Ha! You really should be careful who claim you want to meet when you pass on. A fun, one-minute respite.
