“ The community of National Committee readers for the 46th Bay Area Playwrights Festival advanced THE CHILDREN'S FARM as a Semi-Finalist at Playwrights Foundation. We highly enjoyed this childhood and adolescent memory play as Sam takes refuge in colorful puppets, as it thematic addresses the struggles of coming out and reconciling different versions of yourself. We were highly engaged by the play's joy, humor, creativity, and buoyant rhythms, as well as brutal honesty as Sam's cousins play detective. We hope this play is considered for further development and investigation, and finds dedicated collaborators in this play’s journey towards production. #BAPF46 ”

“ Playwrights Foundation congratulates CERCLE HERMAPHRODITOS as an Honorable Mention for the 45th Bay Area Playwrights Festival in 2022. This play has the potential to use a bygone era as a launching point for discussing trans identity in a meaningful and nuanced way. Our Literary Council advocated strongly because we were moved by this joyful, hysterical, deeply touching, and starkly real theatrical narrative, as it lovingly renders a community of characters. This play asks, "What did trans happiness and community look like in the late 19th century?" We encourage producers to consider this work for further collaboration and production. #BAPF45 ”

“ The community of National Committee readers for the 46th Bay Area Playwrights Festival advanced TRANSCENDING THE BELLY OF THE BEAST as a Semi-Finalist at Playwrights Foundation. Readers leaned into the representation of Oakland during Japanese Incarceration/WWII, especially how changes in the neighborhood impacted each character and the community's legacy of resistance. We appreciated the play's promise dramatizing friendships between communities with an approaching war and open racist violence, and how characters made high stakes, life-altering decisions. We hope this play is considered for further development and investigation, and finds dedicated collaborators in this play’s journey towards production. #BAPF46 ”
