What a layered and wonderfully complex play. I got a chance to see a production of this play earlier this year and really enjoyed getting the opportunity to experience it on the page. A harrowing look at sexual abuse and the exploration of one's sexual orientation in teenage years. Loved the use of technology for communication. Teddy and Clark are such complicated characters and they've got to be a blast to play. I hope this play gets many more productions.

Having years of customer service experience myself, I really connected with this piece. This play really captured the good and the bad of working in a restaurant. Loved the relationships between these characters and how they bond in a way only people that work in a restaurant can. Loved the little details like how people's jobs can be on the line with a bad Yelp review. Loved when this play pivoted into a fascinating conversation about class. I really rooted for all of these characters.

Really loved this hilarious riff on the drawing room comedies. Loved the conversation being had about Loved how openly queer this play is and how the characters see heterosexual marriages as a convenient way to get money. This play must be a blast to perform in. I could definitely see this play being really popular with colleges and community theatres.

A brilliant ensemble piece. Loved the moments where each character get to wrestle with their beliefs. A true testament to what humans are capable of when they really want something. Loved the moments when the actors improvise. This play must be a blast for actors. It feels like a piece that could be really elaborate scenery-wise or really simple. This would be a great challenge for a set and projection designer. Would love to see this produced. A really strong script.

A couple that doesn't know how to talk to each other is forced to confront their secrets by a mysterious caller. Diaz does a great job here upping the stakes as each second goes by. Would love to see actors take on these roles with all the subtext that fills this play.

A really good short play that lets audiences be a fly on the wall for an important conversation between these two women. Love how Diaz doesn't give us too much information. So much is being said in the silent moments between these two. Loved the cliffhanger at the end.

Loved the humorous yet moving way this short play explores how people can be numb to tragedies in our 24 hour news cycle world. You really feel the frustration of Link and Ace.

A short play about being stuck both physically and metaphorically in one's life. Diaz is able to dig deep into these characters in such a short amount of time. I enjoyed the unexplained addition of the woman in the silk dress. It created a mystery in this play that was intriguing.

A play about how powerful teenage girls can be. A play that both explores the intricacies of forensic science and the intricacies of girlhood. Loved how natural the dialogue felt. The play didn't wrap up the way I thought it would and I found that refreshing. A wonderful addition to the subgenre of plays that feature women in STEM fields.

A unique take on Shakespeare's play. A play about what war does to women. A play that imagines what would happen if Lavinia and Tamora truly saw each other as women and not just adversaries. Loved how West plays with form in this play. The way the words were set up on the page really helped me imagine what this play could look like. Would love to see an exciting team take this play on. This plays leaves so much to the imagination when it comes to physically realizing the stage directions
