I loved reading this play!! The playwright does a great job something that plays on the tropes of romantic comedies and Austen novels while also being something wholly original. It's hysterical but doesn't shy away from pressing issues like the expectations put on women. The relationship between Katie and her mother is so beautifully written and I can't wait to see actors get their hands on these roles.

My heart definitely grew a few sizes after reading this play. Great play with fantastic roles for Black actors that's not about their suffering. These people are just living their lives striving for connection and people to see them. R. Eric Thomas has written a play about insecure, single Millennials filled with so much hope that needs to be on stages everywhere.

One of those pieces of theatre that feel more like a ritual than a play. Theatre that feels like a primal scream from any woman that has something they need to tell. This play needs to be produced and experienced and used to inspire voices to be used and stories to be shared.

A whimsical and heartbreaking fantasy play about female friendships and survival. Collier has crafted truly complicated characters that I can't wait to see embodied by actors in a full production.

I can't think of a family dinner play quite like this one. It's hilarious and upsetting usually in the same moment. The writer does a great job at not praising or demonizing any character. These conversations about the responsibilities to family for adult children and the prestige of education are important so I'm glad there's a play like this that makes audiences confront them in such a jarring and hysterical way.

Such a funny short play about parent/children relationships and technology. Love the details about how much importance we put on things like friend requests.

A wonderfully weird play about women owning their voices with a final scene that really packs a punch.

A hysterical one act with great roles for an all female cast. The playwright really nails the absurdist comedy and beautifully satirizes the "idea of having it all" as women.

This is a gripping piece of theatre that brilliantly uses body horror as an allegory for how women are not believed, especially by doctors. This play really digs into the risks and confusion that falls on women when it comes to birth control. This is a play that will educate but more importantly it should anger.

This is the post-Trump play we need. It's a "living room drama" written by a non-white male where characters get to be messy and women don't solely exist to prop up the male characters. It's a beautiful depiction of the conversations so many of us had with our families after the 2016 election and how so many of us tried to reconcile our faith and the place for the ones we loved in such a divisive time. For any theatre considering programming yet another production of an O'Neill, Miller or Williams, please consider this one instead!!
