  • Jeffrey James Keyes: I Have No Words

    I came across this remarkable monologue this evening and found it completely engrossing. Thank you for assembling this first hand account of a citizen of Ukraine at this tumultuous time. I would love to see this onstage. I really appreciate you putting this together & getting Martha’s story out there. Excellent work.

  • Jeffrey James Keyes: Gift of the Matt-Guy

    Gift of the Matt-Guy is a well crafted Christmas short with some really fun surprises & curve balls. I was chuckling while reading this zany riff on some popular holiday themes.

  • Jeffrey James Keyes: Taking the A Train, a 10-minute play

    A different kind of "strangers on a train," Middaugh's suspenseful drama grabs and rattles you right to the core. Strong writing, well drawn characters, and a clean, tragic plot. Well done.

  • Jeffrey James Keyes: Paper Planes

    Wow! This play is excellent. I love the tone and structure of the story. It grabbed me from the start and Michael’s plot really surprised me. I love his way of crafting a story and feel as if these characters are fully human. This short play feels like a whole evening. I look forward to more of your exquisite writing.

  • Jeffrey James Keyes: Where the Fireworks Come From

    I love this play, it really captures the energy, spirit (and butterflies) of what it feels like to be Queer at a certain age. Excellent dialogue, and wonderful storytelling. Thank you, Michael!

  • Jeffrey James Keyes: STUFFED

    I loved being a fly on the walk for Young’s ten-minute dramedy. The characters are complex and interesting and their situation is engrossing. Nicely done!

  • Jeffrey James Keyes: Flooding; a ten-minute play

    This is such a lovely play, I really enjoyed it. The characters are so well drawn and their dialogue & banter is smartly crafted and really fun to read. This would be a really excellent addition to a lineup of 10-mn plays, I’d love to see it up on its feet!

  • Jeffrey James Keyes: Sunnies

    I heard this play read the other night at The Convening and its a remarkable new play. Mulley's grasp of nuanced dialogue and subtext is masterful and engrossing. There's so much said and unsaid in this ten minute play. It's wonderful and Kate is an excellent dramatist.

  • Jeffrey James Keyes: A CASE FOR SECESSION

    This is a truly wonderful play, I'm so impressed by the way this remarkable dramatist lifted the story of Romeo & Juliet into contemporary times with our very real issues and challenges. I'm continually impressed and inspired by Wilkinson's writing which lifts right off the page. The writing is daring, topical, and extremely relevant. Thank you for your voice and work in this space. Outstanding work!

  • Jeffrey James Keyes: Lilies

    This is a really strong play from an excellent dramatist. I found this short play well crafted with clear dialogue. Young's voice is powerful and his characters relatable. It packs a punch through subtle nuance. Great work.
