Such great characters and dialogue, Wagner does a super job of putting the issues of size, body shaming and body positivity and self-acceptance into this play without making it feel at all heavy-handed. Here are 2 great roles for women. I was impressed with the journeys each character takes so the relationships deepen and the characters can actually grow. Brava!

Ah, Realism! So relatable! Honestly, I love a good piece of absurdity especially when it fights back against the process I keep going through as I submit scripts into the ether night after night with no respite in sight. Thank you for the great laugh lines! If we can't find the humor in the Sisyphean task of submitting, we are lost!

I completely love this play! Audrey Lang writes with such love and honesty about the experience of young women. This is an exceptional play that gives us a window into the personal turmoil of girls. I don't think anyone could read or see this performed without a new appreciation of the difficulties of being female. We need Lang's voice!

As more and more folx I know are dead and still on FB, this touched so many nerves and had me in stitches! Because of course we have to laugh at this -- or else! Closedbook is hilarious and necessary. I love the world-building and the admin nightmare and the shift. Strange in the best way!

Here is a short Halloween play that'll thrill and send chills! I love what Jones does with time giving us the future in the first scene and then taking us beyond it in the second. I also love the ghost right there up close and personal, able to talk with the audience and influence the characters. Wonderful fun!

What a wonderful concept brilliantly executed! A moving piece about coming out that is so full of highs and lows, it's well-sculpted and worth every bit of our attention. I hope this gets done often! Super roles! A fabulous new queer play for any festival.

Beautiful, a tour-de-force! What a fabulous, queer, sci-fi-rom-com metaphor come to life about the terrors of love! Theatrical to the nth degree! LOVE this play!

Heartbreaking play! With characters who are wholly relatable and a world that is built to break them. Great piece for any festival of conscience, great work for high schools and colleges. I hope this gets done often and everywhere. Wonderful work!

Mythic, poetic, ancient and new, Antistrophe is an answer, in this case, to ideas of agency, the male/female binary and other ideas of love and the nature of storytelling. It seems to me the tragedy of inescapable internalized oppression and would make a beautiful, sad and imagistic play.

I remember these questions (did them with my partner) when the article came out, and I posted them on FB hoping a playwright would write a play about them, and this is so sweet! I love that we don't have to sit through all of the questions, only the high points, and I love that they are so open and afraid simultaneously to the idea of it. Beautiful work!
