In this world of limited attention span, plays of timely topics that are only 10 minutes each are very much appreciated. Writers and actors collaborated to give us insights into racism, murder, magic, marriage, religion, ghosts and angels, homosexuality, healthcare, and domestic terror. The discovery of self and the meaning of life cleverly wafted through each of these original pieces.

Some were extraordinary, some were interesting, and only a few were just fair. FALLING FORWARD: An Evening of Ten-Minute Plays has enough to hold almost everyone’s attention, and if you aren’t captivated by one of the plays, just wait. The next one will make you glad you came.
