This is a wonderful play with natural dialogue and a tidy story that never stalls. Highly recommended! ”

  • Just Desserts by David MacGregor

  • Doctors and Lawyers (1st Edition Rules) by David Strauss
    19 Jan. 2022
    “ I produced an audio version of this script on my radio theater podcast Gather by the Ghost Light after seeing it on stage in Orlando, FL. This play is absolutely hilarious and Strauss does an excellent job of throwing the comedy right into your face. These D&D style fantasy characters experiencing a mundane human world is presented in such a way that it makes normal business jobs sound exciting, which Strauss uses to build the humor. A well written script and highly recommended! ”
  • Monsters Beyond the Midnight Zone by Lindsay Partain
    18 Jan. 2022
    “ I produced an audio play version of this script on the Gather by the Ghost Light radio theater podcast. Partain has written a story that keeps the audience on the edge of it's seat as the two scientists try to think their way out of the situation they are in. A unique quality of this play is that it is meant to take place in total darkness, forcing the audience to rely mostly on the sounds and dialogue they hear to get a sense of the action rather than seeing the action itself. An exceptional script! ”
  • BACKSEAT DRIVER by Scott Mullen
    14 Jan. 2022
    “ I produced an audio version of this play on the Gather by the Ghost Light podcast. Backseat Driver is a touching story about protecting your friendships and building new ones. When Tina and Darcy first connect, playwright Scott Mullen makes it unpredictable on what direction the story is going to take, but the reveals along the way keep you interested. This is such a lovely dialogue driven script that is cleverly written! ”
  • Remembered by John Mabey
    13 Jan. 2022
    “ I produced an audio version of this play on the radio theater podcast GATHER BY THE GHOST LIGHT. As someone who loves to journey through nostalgia in my own life, this play hits me in all the right spots. And the genuine human connection between Doris and Peter is a beautiful interaction. These two characters are written so honestly and Mabey brings them to life in a remarkable way. Highly recommended to anyone wanting to produce a moving piece that will hit you right in the feels. ”
  • The Deal - 10 Minute Play by Ryan Kaminski
    10 Jan. 2022
    “ I produced an audio play version of this script on the radio theater podcast Gather by the Ghost Light. Could your soul be so tarnished that even the devil himself turns you away? Kaminski tells a richly detailed story with the perfect Louisiana backdrop. As sinister deals go, it's been done often in storytelling, but he keeps things fresh with a bit of a twist. Very well written script and Kaminski displays excellent skill in shifting power from one character to the next. Outstanding! ”
  • North Pole Noir by Patrick Gabridge
    6 Jan. 2022
    “ I produced an audio version of this play on my radio theater podcast Gather by the Ghost Light. It is not only a delightful read but also a fun script to produce! Gabridge has taken all the holiday classic Rankin-Bass characters and intertwined them into a mysterious noir style story giving us an edgier alternate course of events. It is wonderfully crafted with scenes connected in all the right ways and has clever internal narration from the protagonist Harvey the Elf. ”
