Not knowing the background makes this short play sad and painful. Knowing the background takes it to a whole other place of devastation and pure anger at what we as a country are doing to our children. COLE HUNTER DZUBAK takes the simple act of grocery shopping and turns it upside down as two parents lament a Christmas gift never bought.

This is a coming of age piece about Julie and a cautionary tale about Frank. RACHEL BUBLITZ creates believable characters that have full lives and real flaws apparent in just a limited number of pages. A rollercoaster of emotions for both the reader and audiences. I should have known that big drama happens in the Customer Service department at Target.

Wow. What a beautiful monologue of a woman who has lost so much and will soon lose so much more. JENNIFER O'GRADY paints with her luscious words like her character paints the nest outside of her window using the vivid colors still there in her mind. GORGEOUS and TENDER.

This play has everything a scene in a bar needs: men drinking, men laughing, men ribbing each other, and most importantly... men heading down the road to becoming better versions of themselves. This short play tackles real moments with honesty and hope.

Some scars that remind us of so much more than injuries that caused them. This touching monologue by MARJORIE BICKNELL will have audiences feeling the pain of a dysfunctional families and one young girl's birthday where the surprises made a big impact.

HYSTERICAL and relatable! Christine is the hero we all need in community theatre! Audiences will LOVE this one minute monolgoue.

Wow. Any playwright reading this will feel SEEN. BETHANY DICKENS ASSAF show the internal dialogue that make all playwrights question their work, question their worth, and remember why they have to keep writing. BEAUTIFUL.

What a beautiful and sad short play. Age is truly a wicked thing in the eyes of the young. The music, the love, and the rejection would make a wonderful staged production.

What a delightfully spooky short play about young people testing limits, creating adventures, and noises... lots and lots of unexplained noises. This would be a dream play for a cast of talented young people. With SPOOKY SEASON just around the corner, check this play out!

Another BRILLIANT short play by RACHEL FEENY-WILLIAMS. Rachel constructs the perfect narrative in just a few pages leaving readers and soon-to-be audience members stunned with all the just occurred. BRAVO!
