I really enjoyed reading this play. Starts as your typical "living room drama" but goes to some very dark and supernatural places. Love the Greek inspiration and the use of masks. I would love to see this play produced. Would love to see what talented actors can do with these meaty roles. Loved what this play has to say about the nature of writers and they move about this world.

This play should be produced all over. A great (but unexpected) way to get into the holiday spirit. I wanted to root for Eddie the whole time. Even when he is making careless and selfish decisions. I hoped that he would be like Scrooge and get that opportunity to change his ways. Maybe he does. Moench does not give us that clear answer or any easy answers in this play. A wonderful backstage dark comedy that looks at the magic of theatre and how hard it can be on those who long for family.

I really loved this play. Loved what this play says about what it means to live in a body of one's choosing and how others may respond. HK is a great role for a trans* actor and I loved how open the other roles for actors of various identities. Loved the moments where the company gets to create something original for this piece. Loved the moment where the audience gets to decide how it ends. I just love this play and can't wait to see what's in store for the future of this piece.

This play really warmed my little old heart. A look what it's like to say goodbye to our past selves and embrace the person we currently are. You and Me are such great characters and their dialogue feels so natural. This play got to some really deep places in such a short time. Produce this play for your short play festival. Produce it especially if your festival is focused on stories for, by and about members of the LGBT+ community.

A super short play with three fun characters. Schotland does a great job at world-building in this play. Each character has their own specific place in this environment. Great short comedy for a festival of micro-plays.

Really loved this sweet and funny play that takes place on New Year's Eve 1999. Brought me back to the time when people were obsessed with Y2K. I loved the relationship between these two sisters. They are both (seemingly) very different but you can feel how much love there is between them. I really surprising and hysterical ending.

A look at a dystopian world where people have "easy" access to assisted suicide. This play is a moment in time between two characters that both have unique relationships with death. Loved Henrick's by the book nature and Val's quest to keep her name at all costs. Would love to see this short play produced. Lots of juicy subtext here for actors to sink their teeth into.

A play that could not be more relevant today. A family of great thinkers that could do so much if not for the overwhelming oppression they face. Loved the debating of big ideas that happens in this play. Prepare to have your heart broken when looking at the reality that so many Palestinian families like this one face everyday. A play that forcefully dispels the stereotypes that are put upon Arab people. This is the kind of play that can get people to see Palestinians as complex humans.

I really adored this play that explores a powerful friendship between 4 Iranian teenage girls. Loved how natural this community feels and how natural their dialogue is. They constantly overlap and cut-off each other just like real friends would. Loved how major world events bleed into the personal situations that these girls experience. Would love to see this play fully produced. This play features fantastic roles for Iranian actresses.

A play about family and belonging that, to my surprise, also has some things to say about the climate crisis. I really connected to each of these characters as they strive so hard to be a member of their family and their culture. Loved the festival as the framing device and venue for these important conversations. Loved the magic in this play and how it is never questioned. Would love to see this play produced. A gift for actors, directors and creative teams.
