We read this terrific play over Zoom. It was poignant and meaningful - showing us a side of history that we rarely get to see. We all know Boothe and Abe, but how many of us know what Mrs. Lincoln endured that fateful evening and beyond? This play examines her grief, and the unfortunate misery that befell her in the months and years that followed her husband's demise.

Very charming play about two men watching a child's soccer game. Both are parents of one or more teammates, but one truly loves the sport and the other is trying to learn for his child's sake. We learn quite a bit about both men in this short play, and they are both fascinating characters. It is heart-warming, sad, and funny in equal measure. All in all, very charming, LGBTQ-affirming, and a great family play. I hope it gets many productions!

Super spooky play about a family with a dark secret in their closet. We loved this play so much, we included it as part of "Things That Go Bump 2022" - our annual festival of short Halloween plays. It is short, creepy and a lot of fun!

Very clever, funny play about Santa trying to automate Christmas through drone deliveries, etc. It’s cute and charming, and very timely.

Very charming play about a grown woman meeting Santa Claus and thinking he’s a burglar. I really loved the message about gun violence, and the jokes are delightful. I'd love to see this one produced!

I recently read a ton of holiday scripts, and this was one of my absolute favorites. Beautiful and mournful. About an Italian Catholic family going through several generations at Christmas. Explores death, birth, marriage, love, etc, all in the span of 30 minutes. Has some humor and wonderful staging opportunities. This is a really terrific piece and deserves a lot of productions!

I love, love, love this script. It is charming, funny and adorable. On first read, it seems a bit too "tell instead of show"; however, there is so much potential for staging outside of the two characters speaking. For instance, other actors could play out the parts, projections and/or puppetry could be used. There are many options for a magical, theatrical experience. I really think this could be an audience favorite. Great script!

I saw this at OnStage Atlanta several years ago. It was hysterically funny. The character development, the jokes, the pacing, etc. It all works beautifully. One of the best 10-minute holiday plays I've ever seen.

A very funny satire of modern-day influencers and the narcissism that tends to be present in such individuals. In this short play, two internet influencers compete with each other to try to help a refugee father and daughter, though it's clear from the get-go that the person each influencer really wants to help is themself. It's tongue-in-cheek but very timely. Would be great in an evening of short plays about modern technology.

One of the best 10-minute plays I've ever read! Incredibly funny and profound. We produced it at our annual Halloween festival this year, and it was the absolute highlight of the evening. No weak moments in the entire play, and the actors who brought it to life were beyond superb. This piece gets a chef's kiss for its stellar dialogue and delicious character choices. Bravo!
