  • Kathy Rasmussen: Worst Table

    Luna and Chase engage in a fast paced, witty, and entertaining conversation. The server's bemused attitude adds to the escalation. This would be fun to see on stage. Congratulations on the awards-very nicely done!

  • Kathy Rasmussen: Breaking News! (10-15 min.)

    What a fun story with front page worthy dialogue. The political references made me laugh out loud. Ms. Rice has a wonderful sense of humor that shines through the characters!

  • Kathy Rasmussen: Of Mice and Minotaurs

    This compelling and suspenseful piece had my full attention from the start to the very surprising finish. The setting of the corn maze added to the general feel of something eerie. (Truly no pun intended). Of Mice and Minotaurs was full of twists and turns, as well as intriguing character dynamics. Read this! You will be glad you did!

  • Kathy Rasmussen: Good Life Guarantee

    Russell Menyhart reminds us that life is not without its trials, even in the midst of great joy. This heartwarming story really makes one think of the what-ifs and the trade-offs that come along. The ending brought a smile to my face.

  • Kathy Rasmussen: April Garden

    This is a beautiful love story on several levels. A love story of two wonderful friends as well as a love story of a woman and nature. The vivid colors of flowers and the magnificence of proud trees come alive so readily that I felt as if I was in the April Garden with Harry and Marion. The wise words of the tree have given me a renewed appreciation for the splendor of nature. I read this in honor of my mother, a master gardener. I am glad I did! Thank you.

  • Kathy Rasmussen: A Steamboat Willie Gravestone

    This is a sweet, tragic, and smart story with a twist. Marshall Gibbs artfully manages to incorporate powerful concepts into a short play. In spite of the sadness, the glimmer of hope for something positive shines bright.

  • Kathy Rasmussen: A First-Draft Second-Rate Love Story

    This put a smile on my face-so incredibly relatable. I love a good reality spoof, and this did not disappoint! Any director or actor could easily pull this off and have loads of fun doing it!

  • Kathy Rasmussen: ACCIDENTAL ROOMMATES

    What an unexpected gamut of emotions Accidental Roommates provides. It is a poignant and fun play featuring interesting characters, and their loving but complicated relationships. Amidst the harsh realities that most families experience, Brent Alles tells a heartwarming tale. This was recently produced near me, and I am so disappointed to have missed it!

  • Kathy Rasmussen: Cellmates

    This is the stuff of a playwright's dream (or nightmare)! I started laughing during the synopsis and was highly entertained for the entire read. The characters are both lovable, the twist on a children's classic tale hilarious and timely. I don't know about you, but I would definitely submit to the theater referenced in this play.

  • Kathy Rasmussen: The Prodigal Cow (a ten minute play)

    This was a hoot to read. So clever and funny, but with such sweet underlying layers of friendship and greater purpose. I loved it!
