    There is something about Kim Ruyle's dialogues that is so natural and glorious! This 2 hander in an airport lounge brings some incredible characters together in an adult meet/cute that tells a story that is rare and wonderful.

    That's a funny piece. A realistic examination of the difficulty of being "the Scary Monster" in a world of pessimistic heroines. Wonderful stuff.

    fast, comic and a story all of its own. I like that it is called a "duologue", such a descriptive way to tell it. Nicely written and the dialogue is excellent and elegant. A clever piece.

    Whew! I nifty rollercoaster ride of a tale. Super weird and complex, but so realistic! Nicely told with interior monologues and that inevitable waltz toward a meet/cute ending. Very nicely done!

    Wow! Bravo! The intellectual theater versus the fun theater. Experimental dramatics versus the joy of live action. What a hilarious and joyful moment when Dave tells it like it is! I loved this and would adore seeing it on some community stage!

    Experimental theater conceptualized. Many viewpoints slamming into each other in a vibrant forceful way. The theatricality is palpable and the satiric and political theme comes through from the beginning to the end. Would be unusual to see onstage, and also exciting and captivating.

    Very creepy - a horror tale for sure! Cole masters the teen dialogue and the story takes off. The haunted doll and the weird lighting are a spooky winner for the stage. Nicely done!

    What fun! High School and Horror! YA and gore! A wonderful short piece with glistening dialogue, fun characters and a story that hits all the notes! I'm so impressed with the cleverness!

    Packed with very realistic late night speak and typical hierarchy shenanigans. Cringy and uncomfortable, but like a train wreck, impossible to look away! Single set, flashing prompt lights and a throne make the game of the show workable and potentially fun (though not really). Excellent read and this would be even more fun on stage.

    lovely three hander with excellent multi-life stages female characters. The dialogue is perfect and the three characters contrast nicely. We fall into the middle of the story easily and get out before the pandemonium of a party end hits. On stage this would work well and be a joy for an audience.
