This fascinating play weaves in many of my favorite things -- music, Spanish, impossible stage directions, and more. Its characters are desperate people surviving terrible things, and their suffering feels real despite the elevated theatricality required to stage a climate crisis. Don't sleep on this one!

A powerful piece ready to be picked up by a powerful young actor. Get this important piece on its feet!

This play is sure to make you think -- about aging, about family, about the environment. There's a lot here, held together with true human connection and, as a bonus, women in STEM!

Humor and heart blend beautifully in this story about what it means to tell people's stories, whether we're 'entitled' to them or not. This thoughtful, fun piece deserves to be seen -- put it on your stages, folks!

A fun, sweet, satisfying way to do a little quick theatre. These three plays are diverse enough to keep the audience interested and present their shared topic with honesty and integrity.

Delin captures the unique blend between comic frustration and high stakes stress that comes from talking to one's aging parents. This is a fun challenge for two actors - check it out!

What a sweet, fun ten minutes! It warms your heart, takes some turns, and is sure to make readers and audiences smile. Check it out!

This goofy romp is a great example of 21st century farce (a surprisingly difficult thing to pull off) with parts for actors of all ages. It's a hoot and a half -- check it out!
