What starts as a sweet and relatable moment between two humans in love and about marry, soon becomes something VERY DIFFERENT. We think we know the ones we loves inside and out, but there may be more to Tay... inside... than Rory is ready for. CHILLING and FASCINATING. JACQUELYN FLOYD-PRISKORN has created another wonderful world for audiences to observe and experience.

This. Matters.
AMBER R. DICKINSON has the rare gift of bringing Oklahoma to audiences without caricature, without judgement, and without tired tropes. The two young female characters are the friends we wish we had in life - smart, loyal, and quirky as hell. Regional stories are sometimes just that, but DICKINSON brings not only flavor and a strong voice, but big ideas and big emotions - emotions that audiences will connect with. THIS NEEDS TO BE PRODUCED!

HILARIOUS! This farce is pure magic. I had the distinct pleasure of attending a reading of this brilliant piece, and the audience WENT NUTS! Not only did the audience laugh... loudly... they walked away with so many complex thoughts to discuss concerning what humans do to find meaning, order, and connections. Higher concepts aside, the physical comedy of THE PRICKLY PATH will delight the cast bringing the piece to life on stage. PRODUCE THIS!

I cannot tell express how much I ADORE this monologue. AMBER R. DICKINSON has created a piece that actresses will really understand. There isn't a woman alive who hasn't experienced or seen the behaviors that drive this shot girl - this brilliant, this tired, this traumatized shot girl. Do I root for her? On some level yes, and audiences will too.

The theatrical world needs more of the smart and real short dialogues for teens that ANJ MARIE RIFFEL has created in this collection. Teens are messy. Teens are hopeful. Teens are smart. ANJ gets that. Looking for a student piece for a competition or audition? These are perfect.

I had the true pleasure of attending a recent reading of AMBER R. DICKINSON's Love Letters, and I was blown away. DICKINSON writes with a strong and unique voice, stellar dialogue that connections to real human emotions, and humor... delightful and charming humor in the toughest of situations. I want more of this world. I want more of this voice. BRILLIANT.

I had the pleasure of seeing a hilarious and poignant reading of ANJ MARIE RIFFEL's Garden of Sweden recently, and I cannot recommend it enough. This thoughtful two-hander is full of everything that makes a short play great - revelation, evasion, and texture... lots of beautiful texture. Add in RIFFEL's brilliant humor, and audiences will be in heaven. This is a winner for any short play festival. LOVELY!

REX MCGREGOR has taken a simple Comicon and gives us new takes on old villains. This two-hander will delight audiences with its display of human frailty and plans for big futures. Delightful.

Despite losing the UFO Welcome Center…and his home… one local may seem simple, but he may know than anyone in the entire county. LEE R. LAWING gives us a world full of judgement, ridicule, and ultimately… pretty big ACTUAL news. Actors will have a WORLD of fun with this short piece.

In a landscape where societal expectations often confine masculinity to rigid molds, DARRIN FRIEDMAN'S THREE BLIND MICE emerges as a refreshing narrative celebrating the complexities and vulnerabilities of today's man. After their paths cross at the funeral of an old friend, Seth, William, and Javi embark on a profound journey of growth and mutual understanding. Through shared experiences and heartfelt conversations, they confront their daily struggles, dismantling stereotypes and forging a new path for what is possible in male friendships.
