A really great play with wonderful roles for women of color. Loved how magical this play got. It's a play about what people will do to protect the ones they love.

I really adored this play. A solo piece that intimately deals with mental illness. I'm amazed by the way Meghjee uses the framing device of a birthday celebration to discuss such personal issues. Loved the moments for audience interaction. This play is just so earnest. It made me love the art form of theatre and gave me hope for what's possible when we get real about our struggles on stage.

A fun and weird little play that skillfully blends pieces of literature.

A great ten-minute play that explores themes of cultural appropriation, colorism and the meaning of one's home. Loved the fantastical elements of this play and how it's used to tackle some huge issues.

A delightful, romantic comedy featuring people that don't get seen much on modern stages. It's amazing how Tiv can say so much about Persian culture and the dating world in so few pages. A really fun play that I'd love to see produced someday.

A fantastic play about gender and oppression. Loved the way reality is played with here. Loved how absurd this play gets. Loved how grounded this play was despite the moments of absurdity. A play that is going to spark so much needed conversation. Be brave and produce this play. Your community will thank you.

I loved this play. There is so much about the relationship between Kat and Kitt that feels like red flags but I still couldn't help but root for them in the end. A brilliant play about making art and trying to survive in New York City.

A stunning piece of theatre about the history and current state of Hong Kong. Really moving characters and dialogue.

I really loved this play. An insightful into the lives of 5 girls that are defined almost solely by who they are dating. This play shows that they are all so much more. A play set in the 90s that explores things like consent and homophobia in such interesting and necessary ways. This is a play that will be produced all over. I really hope to see this play staged soon. Roles that will allow young actresses to really show off their talents.

A fascinating modern evaluation of one of Shakespeare's most famous tragic heroines. Kastner uses the character of Ophelia to say some thought-provoking things about what it means to be female. Kastner refuses to shy away from the unfair double standards that women are faced with. This is a killer role for a young actress. I was gripped from beginning to end. Would love to see this produced. A fantastic challenge for lighting and sound designers.
