Great lines! Including my newest favorite pun. Sweet short piece for today - read it! Produce it! Smile!

Wonderfully imaginative play that ramps up beautifully into its climactic moment to make a brand new world seem possible! Very optimistic, perfect for a Valentine's Short Play Festival. I hope it gets produced often!

Sure to become a classic in the new enlightened era! If only this was a period piece! Hoke has written a real send-up of our sexist culture complete with all the discomfort Chrissie can take - and the double twist at the end makes it a must-read!

Marvelous! I've always had a soft spot for the Madwoman of Chaillot, and this adaptation is so much fun! From the lack of toilet paper to the refugee crisis, it hits all the high notes of our time and is prescient! All the yucks get yucked, with a song to be sung! It's fun! I needed some fun today! And the oil (avocado or fracking, it's relevant) and slippery! And the costumes would be a blast! A wonderfully climate-aware play for all ages!

I loved this play, but unlike many other recommendations here I found it to be a chilling, dystopian depiction shedding light on why relationships fail - our lack of decent role models, our inability to even imagine normalcy. But hey, that's just me! I liked it like that because not every father drinks milk. Great work!

The title really called to me, but the play held me wrapt! What a fascinating premise! What a well-executed piece! And it's so do-able! She thinks she's the only one with lips like that - she's so wrong! This is a wonderfully theatrical mystery where every character wants something so much, we can't help but be spellbound.

I love that Lam creates an entire language (decipherable in footnotes) that would be a blast to perform! This play is meant to be seen - talk about holding up a mirror - the aliens are so human!

What fun! This is a great meditation on the existence of a higher power in the guise of a comic play where the humans get to play gods! If I produced this, I would want to ask if I could cast and put the humans onstage, but it's also really fun having them be voices. Any director could have such a great time with this! And the roles are spectacular too! I've never wanted to be a bug before - and I do love bugs!

Brilliant! Out of this world wonderful! A must read and a must produce! I love the updating of the Daphne myth and how REAL Romero makes it because this happens all the time. We should be staging it, seeing it from every angle! Romero does a phenomenal job of centering Daphne's experience for us in a way where we can actually see it among the blinding white privilege and entitlement of so many. Thank you!

Gabridge really pulled me into this one and then wowed me with the beautiful metaphor! A must-read! A must-produce! Heart-warming! Funny rom-com of a holiday play! What more could anyone want????? Seriously on-message! It slices, it dices, I am totally impressed.
