Asher Wyndham's beautiful monologue shows the many facets of a man's strength, from physical to emotional, from bodybuilding and fitness to -- even more important in Wyndham's monologue -- his love for his family and his stance against cyberignorance. I would love to see "@mangusmuscle" in performance.

Audiences will be an emotional wreck after watching "Please, Don't Go." This is a very well-crafted one-minute drama.

A challenging yet wholly satisfying story with thoughtful, heightened use of language. "An Audience of One" needs to be produced far and wide; audiences will be moved and will remember it a long time.

I love this blistering satire against corporations and their use of marketing and advertising to fleece the public, and what responsibility really means.

It's got visuals and references galore to drive home its point. It's also genuinely funny and thoughtful about responsibility and selling out.

I hope "The Mascot Always Pings Twice" gets a lot more productions, and I want to be in the audience to watch.

I love Catherine Weingarten's parody. Barbie is a dick, Skipper is a hero, and the Barbieverse is ridiculously twee (a jacuzzi with water that "is legit pink chocolate"?!). A lot of silliness and fun balanced with thoughtfulness and theme.

I love this comedy. I was hooked by the phrase "pizza delivery monk" in the summary, and then Jim Moss adds layers I never knew I needed in a comedy, including Zen puzzles, mystical and random notes on a flute, grifting, and (perhaps) reaching a next level of existence. I hope "Zen Pizza's" production history rapidly expands.

The backstory of "Leap" is like a sitcom episode, but Elliot Kreloff has imbued vulnerability and sweetness in this romantic comedy between men. There's humor, too, and a bit of an historic look at being single during the Clinton-era presidency.

This short comedy is a lot of fun. Jean Ciampi has established a lot situational humor, physical humor, dramatic irony, and twist upon very dark twist in "Morto D. Gatto." Audiences and actors alike will love it.

An absolute must-read play. This dark, shining gem of a drama produces shivers and provokes deep thoughts.

"Clone" is about those in power with the opportunity to abuse it, and those who have none. It's a clear-eyed prediction of what the future may be and a metaphor of several populations considered "less than."

I love the characters Mildred Inez Lewis creates in "We Dreamed Ourselves" -- the Has-Been and the Never-Will-Be. Actors will love playing TKF-Seven and Grady. I also love the tone. There's comedy in this short play, but also the tragedy of knowing things are slipping away without taking action to stop it.
