A delightful short riff on Beowulf. Loved the direct address moments and how absurd this play gets.

A short and poetic play that explores the psyche of a woman on the verge of changing her life.

A really great short play about our society's obsession with stereotypical beauty. In such a small number of pages, this play says a lot about the role AI plays in our world. Really great character study.

This is a great play about ancestry and what it means when your whole sense of self is upended. A funny and moving play about two sisters navigating some shocking realizations. Loved all the different interactions with Lana's relatives. Big questions are being asked here in a very intimate way. With how obsessed our culture is with DNA ancestry testing these days, this is a perfect play to produce and stir up some relevant dialogue.

I really dug this play. A play about how powerful teenage girls can be. I loved how true crime obsessed this play is and I love it becomes something completely different by the end. This is a play about making it through a dark and insane world. This play features amazing roles for young Latina actresses.

This play is going to stay with me for a long time. A play about writing an honest story while also trying to appeal to audiences. This play says a lot about the modern theatre and the gatekeepers who decide which stories should be told. This play really surprised me and gave me an ending lacking a neat resolution. More plays that ask these kinds of questions need to be produced.

What a wonderful and creative riff on the Dracula story. Loved this play about immigration and being accepted by others. Q and Harker's relationship is a highlight of this play. Loved how complex Jon is when it would be easy to just make him a one-dimensional villain. This should be produced all over.

A fascinating short piece that is a unique riff on the Scottish Play. A look at what it means to be an ambitious woman.

A fun short play that makes something as mundane as buying Secret Santa gifts into a deep moment. Loved the journey of self-discovery Renelle goes on in so few pages.

Love how unique and experimental this play gets. The lack of stage directions is a brilliant choice. It lets us focus on the poetic dialogue and leaves the possibilities endless for directorial choices.
