    What an incredibly fun and sharp ten-minute play! Smart and clever and just a joy to read. Austgen has created characters that would be a dream for any actor to play.
    Can't wait to see it on stage!

    Austgen's voice is witty and sharp and this ten-minute play is perfectly crafted, just like the crafty scheme of one of the coworkers. This play is a great example of human comedy--giving us three very real people to, at different times, root for and boo and cheer and groan. People are funny--but Austgen treats them and all their confusion with love and compassion.

    How often do you relate to three diverse characters? (If you do, you probably have spent time in a cubicle.) All three have a deep want/need and as a carrot is dangled in front of them, they must re-examine what they’re wishing for. A great short satire on our workaday world.

    A tight and focused ten-minute that had me cringing with anticipation in the best possible way. SELF PROMOTED also had a few great moments of surprise, and three meaty roles for actors to dig into. Well done!

    A quick pace fun short play that structure should be a guide on how to write 10 minute play. Austgen manage to give us three dimensional characters and create absurdism with the most bare of moment. Bravo!

    Jessica perfectly captured the workplace dynamics (and woes) most of us feel every time we arrive at the office. These characters are our co-workers, work friends, or office acquaintances, that we all seem to spend the the bulk of our time with once we enter into the workforce. Jessica has managed to take that mundane environment and examine it in an honest light before spinning it in something slightly hopeful. Very well done!

    Best friends annoy each other, even when they're trying to pay a compliment. That's the first of many insights this sly short by Austgen addresses. This is as good as any play you can cite, and any reason you could use as proof, that sometimes, if you have the right ones, you just have to let the actors loose. Shel is a dream, a showcase; and Erin, I'm pretty sure we've all been there.
