A brilliant work of theater by an incredible writer on the rise. Emilio's characters are the sort you dream of putting on stage. Equal parts rough and sweets, their journey together will keep you not he edge of your seat. Not because this is a thriller, but because you want to know what happens to them. There's a reason it has so much buzz.

This is a beautifully crafted monologue that could help a lot of people get through tough times. The simple approach helps the complicated emotions to flourish and be explored fully in its limited running time. Read, and produce, somebody out there will thank you after they see it.

YOOOOO Mercedes does not play with this play... yep. Seriously, this is a unique work, an experiment of sorts that works on almost every level. A necessary show, a risky show, and if done right a historic one. AKA Producing companies, develop it!!!

A daring piece that dares go places most playwright wouldn’t. Dawes creates a massive piece of art, detailing the racial history of Mexico while explaining the casta painting with beautiful staging. Hope to experience this on a stage soon.

Matthew Freaking Weaver is an expert on making the absurd human. I've yet to read a play of his that didn't make me laugh or have deep emotions. This one in particular has the biggest scope, yet it's so simple. It's in the simplicity that it becomes devastating.

I heard about this play some time ago, and now I'm upset I waited this long. Fawcett has created a powerful puzzle in her character, one that you have fun not just putting together but also taking it apart. Would love to see a production of this play soon.

Asher Wyndham is a master of his craft. Nobody does the monologue/One person show better than him. I need you all to start noticing and reading him. You will learn and your craft will be better for it. RENATA is no exception.

An incredible work from a playwright that is becoming better and better with each new play. Fun, heartbreaking, unique and beautifully diverse, Femia has created a piece primed for production and I see a lot of them coming its way.

Cute but packing a very serious and gorgeous punch. This is a fine example of what a 10 minute play should be.

A play of raw and deep reflection. Caridad's work here is simple but in your face, a snap shot of an America we all are cautious about.
