  • Ian Donley: Preacher Man (Original Short Version)

    This play walks a very fine line between exploring morality and religion (giving a distinct difference between the two). This one act is vibrant and lively, with strong characters for the right actors to play.

  • Ian Donley: The Juggler

    "The Juggler" is a silly and fun short play with clever wordplay and concise characters who serve as "ark nematodes" to one another. Well done!

  • Ian Donley: Oh, Dear God, Dad is a Feminist

    This is a clever play that deals with politics within families in a theatrical yet recognizable way.

  • Ian Donley: Out of the Woods

    This is such a fresh and theatrically retelling of one of Greek mythology's well-known stories. Weibezahl's dialogue is sharp and focused, and through it the pace of the play maintains a steady flow.

  • Ian Donley: One Night In September

    Dana Hall writes this script with delicacy that makes the navigation of sexual assault on college campuses an informative and raw experience. Plus, "Girl, I hide so far back in my closet I could’ve come out in Narnia" is probably one of my favorite lines of all time (but that's just a personal reference). Produce this play!

  • Ian Donley: Tink in the Clink

    This play is so funny! I can totally imagine how the staging of this play would be and I'd be really excited to see this live!

  • Ian Donley: Forever Yours, Olive Thomas

    John Arco writes a humorous and playful one-woman show that is filled with personality and interesting storytelling. This would be a great show to stage in a black box theatre, which would allow the audience to feel like Olive Thomas is speaking to them like you're catching up with a friend at a coffee shop.

  • Ian Donley: The Two of Us

    I love how Hass has taken one of the most well-known settings and added a fresh look into it. If we live in a world where cowboys can have a movie written and made about them time after time, then why not allow everyone in the queer community that same opportunity? Hass' script is entertaining and full of nuances that an actor would love to play.

  • Ian Donley: Liberation

    "Liberation" is a sweet, nuanced, and fresh look at the most horrific period of humanity. Tennant writes with precision and sharpness that makes these characters come to life on the page.

  • Ian Donley: The Sudden Urge to Jump

    Chelsea Sutton's "The Sudden Urge to Jump" is a fresh portrayal of grief filled with rich characters and a compelling story. I got to see a reading of this play done via Zoom. Even with the lack of production elements, the script is so well-written to where it stands out on its own.
