Poor Father - he seems ill equipped to hear these confessions. The outrageous number of Hail Marys, etc. brings a touch of the comic to a serious issue. Nice touch with the relationship between Father and Steven. Anj Marie tosses in a couple of nice Twisties to keep us thinking. Well done.

One minute plays are hard to write because you need to have that big shocker in the end - Debra A. Cole shows how it is done. A master class on the short play.

Powerful and telling - a look at the haves and the have nots and the huge gap that exists there. When the wealthiest of the wealthy begin to run the show - the show gets very scary. Nicely done!

I love Mabelle from her podcast "Hey, Playwright!" and this short piece shows off her writing chops in a wonderful way. What a wonderful concept and 2 really special characters to match Reynoso's dialogue and plot. Brava!

Cute - until it isn't! A parable for our times.

A comic-serious commentary on dieting and healthy eating and the strong desire to just like what you like. Some characters (cheerleaders and teachers) can have impossible impasses that are resolved with amazing ingenuity. Wonderfully written and profound.

Oh my! I like writing a nice monologue - but Ruyle tells it true - it always feels like cheating. And reading Albee and Williams can bring out the Impostor Syndrome in all of us. And, of course, we all hate/love writing prompts! Nice piece here. Another typical Kim Ruyle triumph.

A witty meet/cute that takes off where Glass Menagerie could never dare to go. The dialogue is top notch and we empathize with Lenore and Rem and hope for the best for them. Tennessee would be proud to see his play analyzed so well.

A fine dark comedy! The characters are true to life and the situation is as awkwardly surreal as it gets. Great piece of storytelling!

Nice one, Jean! Funny dialogue, hilarious characters and a nice tight plot line. Well written and comic excellence. A great short piece for a fun performance.
