This play really speaks to our need to reach out in times of crisis for help and for distraction. The way it effortlessly flows between locations and between fantasy and reality is a true strength of this play. A piece that is for actors, directors, designers and audiences that desire to expand their definition of theatre.

A play about making life decisions and how sacred spaces can be found even in soul sucking job if the right people are there. I loved how 3 dimensional these characters were and the dialogue is poetic in a way that's natural to aspiring artists.

I've read many plays about environmental issue but never one that explores how desperate someone would have to sell their land, the health of their neighbors and their souls to those that wish to destroy our planet for profit. Luna is such a complex role for a young actress and I love how this play refuses to give a cliche happy ending but forces the character and audience to sit with the decisions made.

A play about ghosts. Literal ghosts. Ghosts of the past. Ghosts of our mind. Reading this play was a magical experience. I can't wait to see a production and how directors, actors and designers bring this world to life.

This play excites me so much I might BURST!!! Having worked in high school and middle school theatre education I have long bemoaned the lack of quality scripts for young actors where they get to play characters their own age. Along comes this hilarious, whimsical play with a large cast of mostly females (which rocks since they are the vast majority of members of school theatre programs) to save the day!!! Not only are there a bunch of roles for girls but they are 3 dimensional characters!!! Will be recommending to all my theatre educator friends.

This is a really good play about a moment in history that was once all over social media but by so many has been forgotten. By using flashbacks, Hung shows that all these girls wanted was the ability to learn and never imagined it would lead to their kidnapping. A play that requires very little in terms of set but in the hands of 2 talented actors could be extremely transporting.

This play is so much fun!!! I really hope it gets produced all over. While being about such a specific culture, this play is able to convey a theme of longing for more out of life that we all can empathize with. More faith-based plays like this need to be written.

A really interesting plays that addresses illness and the ethics of medicine in such a highly theatrical way. I'd be very interested in seeing the different ways that directors, actors and designers will create the magical images that Jagernauth has written.

This 10 minute play was right up my alley as someone who loves swapping ghost stories. In such a short amount of time, Partain gives us three dimensional women on a camping trip as they deal with the fears that come with being in the great outdoors.

A heartfelt play that can remind us of the magic of theatre.
