Great concept pulled off brilliantly by Molly Wagner. Envision is wonderfully funny and hugely theatrical! I think it would be a blast to direct. And the questions posed and the ideas put forth are considerable, relatable and real. Great work!

I loved the dynamics, the twists and turns, and the unexpected depths to which this play goes as its layers form more and more nuanced meanings. Hilder has great facility in writing characters I truly care about and the moments that push them and pull them in all the directions during their grief. Fascinating play!

Stunning and beautiful and oh my heart! This ten minute play is enormously moving and quite an accomplishment! I hope it graces many festival stages with its theatrical conceit and the way it deals so deftly with its difficult subject. Thank you Stephen Kaplan for this play that lets us all miss the people we miss and know they are with us still.

What a lovely play about 2 women in a relatively new relationship and their biological clocks! It's funny and sweet and relatable. There's some Hindi/Urdu that I don't understand, but it seems hugely playable especially because much of it is used for a mother/daughter cellphone convo which would be the same in any language (and the English "biological clock" is sprinkled throughout for context) and then it's heartwarming when the Shopkeeper chimes in, in either language, and especially at the end! Because our concern for the future is universal, and biological clocks are real and always ticking!

A wonderful look at the new world where in spite of the system, the people get to take matters into our own hands and make the best decision possible in the given circumstances. Kudos to McClain for being such a super problem-solver! 2 great female roles to sink some teeth into!

What a beautiful play! Highly relatable, hugely realistic, and the question at its center kept pressing into me (like an elbow in my gut or a head butting up against my bladder) until it is answered in the end - oof! Shut my breeding mouth! Running in Circles Screaming makes me think twice.

Wow, this is a tremendously theatrical play that will be a brilliant addition to any short play festival. The roles are great and the language intense. The cruelty on display, the sheer lack of compassion through a kind of hero worship is a comment on our society that will sink in deep by the end of this piece.

Zombie Barbie is a mad invention by Lee R. Lawing who infuses her with humor and theatricality and eternal walking on her plastic legs (and probably in heels too since her feet are shaped that way)! This would be a blast for an actor and a super addition to any festival, Halloween or just regular festival looking to help us realize how our plastic toys are eating us alive!

A play for people with difficult co-workers or manipulative family members or basically everyone who needs the reminder that we don't have to let them get to us! Well done!

What can happen in a minute? Read Abandonment to find out! This 1-minute-play is an entire experience in only 1 minute and can be interpreted in so many ways for any kind of actor especially written for LGBTQ people who struggle so terribly with our place on this earth. It also makes me wonder who is doing the abandoning? Society seems to have struck the first and many blows to inspire what Hugh does. Beautiful work.
