One of my favorite pieces I've read in a while. Osmundsen has a unique voice and manages to pack a hefty punch in this one. I think what stands out most is how I was able to feel so strongly for each character and how Henry's struggles, while never something I have experienced in my life, felt so real and somehow relatable.

I hope to be there when this show finds it's way to the stage.

Touching, original, and very heartwarming in all the right ways. Rinkel did an awesome job with shaping these young characters. Worth a read for sure.

This show is so funny Colley sets up the characters for some awesome punch lines and never lets this show lag. Lovely all around.

A very original, interesting, and for some of us, unfortunately, relatable show. Not totally grounded in realism but with very relatable characters, Vansant has something very unique here.

Adams wrote one of the most interesting pieces of political theatre I've seen in a while here. She doesn't pull any punches with this one. Great piece.

Running across plays like this makes me wish I owned a publishing company. This show is original, hilarious and takes several unexpected turns. Bavoso killed it.

When I went to the Midwest Dramatists Conference, I couldn't walk away with an absolute 'favorite play' because I heard so many awesome stories.

But I can say without a doubt nothing made me smile, laugh or held my attention as well as what Carter did here. This is my favorite short comedy I've read in a while. Plus as a young writer, I love the use of modern geek culture. Awesome play.

The characters are original, the world is fascinating, the plot is a fun take on old-school structure. Adams has a very fun piece here worth taking a look at.

I know I'm just one voice of many praising this show, but Rachel did it again with this one! It's sharp, witty, very original and unflinching. I didn't see anything coming and I wasn't ready for the ending. Great work here.

This show has a really interesting balance- because, on one hand, it has a real 'slice of life' quality that draws in the reader. However, every line is purposeful, candid and honest.

Esposito packs a lot of character development and a lot of story in a short, moving play. Worth a read for sure.
