  • Gi60: Magno the Magnificent: A Pre-Teen Monologue

    Sincere, relatable, and self-aware--it's hard not to love Magno. I was drawn immediately to this heartfelt and touching superhero—a delight for a young actor.

  • Ruben Carbajal: The Murder (radio play)

    It combines many of my favorite things (radio plays, Halloween, crows, mysteries, and Matthew Weaver) into a compelling and imaginative tale perfect for October and beyond. If you get a chance, check out the Spokane Playwright's Laboratory's delightful production (link on the play's page). Pure audio brilliance, deserving of many more productions!

  • Ruben Carbajal: The Happy Incident on Aisle 5 of the Delicioso Food Market & Deli at 11:47 P.M., or, In Passing [a 1-minute play]

    A late-night grocery has a vibe all its own; a place where anything can happen. I love all the joy that emanates from this brief moment of existence.

  • Ruben Carbajal: The Zoo

    A quietly stirring short play. A profound moment and window into the weight of adulthood and the lightness of being young--not to mention the complexities of parenthood. Superb!

  • Ruben Carbajal: Starting Out Strong

    Sweet and punchy, and moves like a Wimbledon volley. A super fun will-they-or-won't-they that would easily win over festival audiences.

  • Ruben Carbajal: ACTION

    Visceral and menacing from the get-go, ACTION doesn't let you off the hook. So much for horror fans to love in this tight, devilish ten-minute play.

  • Ruben Carbajal: Grease

    So much personality and laughter packed into a single minute. GREASE certainly stands on its own but I'd love to spend more time with these characters. Pure enjoyment.

  • Ruben Carbajal: Alone?

    The ending gave me goosebumps. Taut, mysterious, and moving. A perfect 10-minute play that will keep an audience on their toes.

  • Ruben Carbajal: A Minute Past Midnight on Valentine's Day, or, the Untold Truth about Romantics [a 1-minute play]

    A dramatic, emotionally-packed play with a lot of wisdom about desire and secret admirers--and relationships that only exist in one person's mind. An excellent addition to a one-minute fest or as a scene study for young actors!
