I really can't wait to see this play on its feel with actors. It's a puzzling piece of theatre that will create endless post-show conversations. I really connected with the relationship we have with our stuff and how we often expect these inanimate objects to grow and evolve like we do and prove their continued worth. Loved this play. Gonna be thinking about this one for awhile.

This is a hilarious fantasy play about how sex is built up and over-prepared for but in the end can’t salvage disappointing relationships. I loved the body part gags and how the relationship between these two teens and evolves in such an absurd yet relatable way.

The playwright perfectly captures the confusion and false memories that can come up when loved ones pass on. It's a play about grief in it's own bizarre way but also about finding connection. I loved the pacing of this play and dialogue. Really a piece that three actors can make a meal out of.

I truly have not seen the rise of Nazi Germany looked at from this perspective. It's truly fascinating to see these men who are trying to lead a dominant force go to a place where they themselves are dominated. That dominance is really all an illusion though. The women may be doing the violence but the men are always in control. This play looks at the evils in humanity and contains not much hope but the story of these complex women need to be told. Please produce this play.

A play that blends naturalism and absurdity as it explores the coming age of two best friends that are trying to figure out their sexuality and what it takes to fit in. Lassman has a real skill at authentically portraying a subset of teenage boys in all their gross behavior and misogyny. You really pray that these boys grow up to be good people but you can't help to feel for them just as they are in this play. I would definitely love to see what a 5 Years Later play would look like for these characters.

A really interesting and compelling short two hander. These are some really complicated characters actors will have a blast digging in to.

This play definitely did not go into the direction I thought it would. What if faith in the afterlife and theoretical science were the same thing? Is what we believe about where we go after the death the dealbreaker in relationships many think it is? This 10 minute play poses these questions as two versions of a couple wrestle with their core beliefs both in the hypothetical and in reality. The way the time changes is so effective and it's hard not to connect with these characters.

I really dug this short play. Makes you look at a terrible night in American history in a new way while also finding ways to be hopeful about humanity. All that in 10 minutes!!

I connected with this play deeply. I know this church. I know these people. This is a play for all those out there that have struggled with having faith without condoning the hurt the Church has done. Frauenhoffer has written 3 excellent characters that are in no way stereotypes. They are so complex and rich characters. You may not agree with everything they do but you understand why. A generation of people that were indoctrinated by the Church and purity culture are coming out and expressing their hurts. I'm so glad we have plays like this to talk about it.

At a time where so much is being said as we reflect on the harm done by the Church’s obsession with shame-based sexual purity, this play adds a story that gives no easy answers. It doesn’t ridicule Christianity and none of these characters are stereotypical in any way. The young women in this play are giving the chance to question and wrestle with what they believe. This play is a gripping character study with an ending that signals destruction and the beauty of creating something new.
