Such a moving piece about what it means to be from somewhere. Lewis has created two really complex characters in such a few number of pages. I really enjoyed getting to spend time with these characters. A short play that will get you to lean in from the start.

This play went to some really unexpected places for me. Loved the way Kennedy plays with time. An important message about parts of women's suffrage that so many conveniently sweep under the rug. A great ensemble short.

A brilliant satire that also works as a piece of science fiction. Scathing and hilarious critique of the world of non-profit arts. I'm astonished by how much world-building Ho is able to do in so few pages.

A hilarious short play about getting over shame and looking at the bright side of a bad situation. Great piece for two comedic actors.

Such a great play about a group of people living on the streets of Austin. Brilliant idea to set the play outside a theatre to remind audiences of the people we tend to ignore every time we see a show. Stanley does an excellent job at giving a voice to a population we don't often hear on our stages and screens. Really well-crafted characters. Please produce this play and start some much needed dialogue in your community.

A very moving and hilarious play about a group of high school seniors looking ahead to their futures. This play operates for most of the runtime as an ensemble comedy until it goes somewhere much deeper. The moment it goes to that place took my breath away. I don't want to give anything away so I urge everyone to read and produce this play.

I completely agree that this play should not work but somehow it does and it's a work of genius. A celebration of what great literature can do. I loved how much is left up to the director to make this play into a compelling piece of art. I can't wait to see this play produced. I have never read Infinite Jest and I'm not sure if this play makes me want to but it definitely stirred some kind of emotion up in me.

A really moving play about the complexities of chosen family and gentrification. Killer dialogue and stunning imagery makes up this truly unique theatrical experience. Really hope to see this play produced soon.

A beautiful play about a strained relationship among siblings. Didn't expect where this play went in the third act but I loved it. Shealy has a gift for creating unique worlds in their plays. I can't wait to see what a costume, sound and set designer does with this script.

A whimsical short play loosely based on real events. Loved the understanding that comes about between Vinny and the Cow. Would love to see this produced.
