A stunning play about desire and giving in to the wonders God has created in this world. Great roles for trans actors and actors of color. I'd love to see this play fully produced one day. The margins and their potential for stage magic left me so excited.

A play told in real time that blends intimate relationships with troubling moments in history. I'd love to see what a scenic and video designer can do with this play. This play kept me guessing until the very end. You can't help but root this newly-formed community as they face the outside world that means to do them hard. A great script for actors of color to really shine.

Loved this experimental piece about grief and the importance of community. Tankus makes some bold choices in this play that I'd love to see realized by an adventurous cast, director and design team. A play that I could see with a huge budget or really scrappy. Loved this play and what it says about the pain we deal with when we lose someone we love.

Loved how time and reality is played with here. A meeting between mother and daughter that keeps trying to correct itself.

I really loved this short play. A reminder of the simple joys in life while the entire world seems to be falling apart.

A wonderful short play that expertly breaks the fourth wall. A play that leaves you grappling with reality. Sherman has created a fascinating scenario and leaves you guessing the whole time.

Sullivan masterfully takes this Greek tale and forces it to confront our modern era. A play about the ownership men feel like they have over women. Perfect balance between absurdist comedy and dark take down of the male ego. A killer roles for an actor and actress.

Quinn perfectly captures the intimate moments two years apart between these two people that just looking for life to make sense. Beautiful dialogue and incredibly crafted characters. I found myself not knowing whose side I was on throughout the entire play. A sign of a great play is when the audience is left with so many more questions than clear answers. Much like the relationship at the center, this play is complicated and ceases to leave audiences on the edge of their seats.

Loved this play. A three character play about figuring out what you want out of life. Loved how messy these characters are and how badly they want so much out of life. The dialogue is so good. Halle plays with the eerie and absurd tones of the play really well. Really great roles for female and non-binary actors.

I really loved this play. This play is an important look of the world of sex work and how it particularly impacts people of color. I feel like I better understand why people get involved in arrangements like this. Moses has crafted a wonderful character in Brooke and I really enjoyed getting to spend this time with her, flaws and all. This play features incredible roles for actors of color.
