    Chock-full of wit and a surprising amount of emotionality, this play contains a fun, not-so-unbelievable set of circumstances with a lovable cast of characters, and reveals itself to be a beautiful exploration of love, hope, and family. The sheer nuttiness and...genius? of Alston Garth sticks with me after reading for him in a workshop of this play, and I continue to be touched by the relationships formed between his fellow passengers. A wonderful read that I hope to see fully realized in a production soon!

    A hilarious and poignant play that asks and explores the question, "WHY would a billionaire want to take a group of civilians into space with them?" I can't wait to see a fully staged production of this play.

    An inspired and inspiring portrait of reluctant travelers on a involuntary trip to Mars. There are numerous moments of high comedy and tender moments of real human connection. This play would be a delight to see staged.

    An absolutely hilarious and heartfelt show filled with pop culture references, sci-fi goodness, and... U2? Either way, your inner nerd will adore this show. I cannot recommend this piece enough after being an assistant to the producers for this play at the Plays In Bloom residency at BloomU in 2022!

    "The Astronots" is a heartwarming, funny piece with an ensemble of characters from different walks of life. From a shy college student, to a headstrong Red Robin waitress, to an overconfident Disney actor. Features themes of family dynamics, LGBTQIA+ characters, marriage trouble, capitalism, and more. Leaves an audience questioning the intentions of the rich and wondering why billionaires are suddenly going to space. Had the pleasure of serving as Assistant Director for the production at Bloomsburg University in November of 2023. A play I hold close to my heart.
