We produced a reading of Jesse's brilliant and moving play, Austin's Home, at The Understudy in Chicago earlier this year! Jesse is a clever, thoughtful, and gifted playwright and was wonderful to work with. Beyond that, this play is moving, and timely, and inspired a deep conversation with our audience about gender, family, and grief. This script is production ready and I cannot wait to see where it goes next!

A deeply moving family drama exploring Austin's family of origin, and his parents' inability to roll with change. Robkin artfully develops these rich, multifaceted characters, whose competing wants and needs exchange the dynamic of loss and renewal with tremendous emotional facility. This play should be required viewing in every regional theatre in America. Read this now. Produce this yesterday.

A carefully observed coming out story that eschews melodrama for something much more subtly and believably rendered, with four sympathetic, complex characters. The play beautifully reminds us that acceptance might not be easy, but with love it's always possible.
