Again, Hageman manages to do so much with so little. A beautiful one minute play that explores the depth of romantic relationships at its most raw yet also at its most adorable.

What a fun little play. It says so much with so little actually being said. Best part is all the conversations it can create with its simple concept.

A reflection about what family means. A study on what love is. An examination on what responsibility entails. Guadalís' play is all of that, weaving the themes masterfully and ultimately creating a piece of theater that is as real as it is wonderful.

There's a reason this play has been so widely recognized. The power of Moreno-Penson's work is not only in what she's able to expose through her words, but how she is able to make it human. These characters are all in search of their place on earth, but only one of them feels misplaced. It is in her journey we see the pain of a whole country. Tremendous play!

Oh man I did not expect this at all. This play its both an in depth look at what it is to be an LGBTQ teenager and an exploration of the life that you could have if you decide to stay hidden. It also exposes the dark aspects of dating apps in the funniest way possible.

Quick, fun, heartbreaking. This coming of age story resonates in its silly plot to construct a perfect critique of the pressures we put on each other and the pain of losing your imagination.

Matthew Weaver wins again. This play is hilarious. The lovely premise takes us into reflective conversations that spotlight the human condition, just to take that all away in an incredibly absurd twist which gave everything even deeper meaning. And incredibly FUN short play.

A sweet romantic comedy full of exceptional moments that feel real. An ode to wishes and the realities of them. The characters are fully developed making you feel like you know they whole history. Emily's dialogue makes it easy for us to fall in love with them.

A great study about the women behind the men in power and a quiet reflection about what people consider success. Burbano masterfully crafts a chess match between old school traditional thinking and the future full of equality we seek. This is ultimately a play about the crumbling patriarchal system we are bathed on. And I'm here for it.

I was lucky enough to catch a production of this play recently and wow! Rodriguez has an ease capturing the heart of the culture, while managing to tell a universal story of love lost between mother and son, creating in the end a powerhouse work that is as funny as it is heartbreaking.
