  • AN ABUNDANCE OF CAUTION, A Play for Videoconference by Rachael Carnes
    21 Jun. 2023
    “ Weird times indeed! Carnes captures the helpless, chaotic feeling that overwhelmed many at the beginning of the pandemic in this fascinating and absurd piece. This is a great slice from a very specific moment in time. ”
  • Mime Stop by Steven San Luis
    14 Jun. 2023
    “ This is a fun script that physical actors would eat up! It's great for people who want easy sets and challenging physicality or for teachers who want to get student actors out of their shells. Check it out! ”
  • Abridged Theatre History For People Who Have A Cursory Interest* | *(please note we have not verified these facts) by Lea McKenna-Garcia
    5 Jun. 2023
    “ McKenna-Garcia has cultivated a thoughtful philosophical moment about the nature of theatre, the people we perform for, and why we make adaptations in the first place. This piece uses all of the tools available and gives the audience and reader a lot to think about in a compact package. Plus, there's some nice humor (philosophy is so much better with humor). It would make a great classroom piece and a great part of a ten minute play festival. Check it out! ”
  • Balancé by Audrey Lang
    20 May. 2023
    “ This script treats the young women at its center with compassion and respect. Lang trusts the young actresses taking on these roles with complex questions and emotions. Plus, it offers some juicy scenes and monologues. Check it out! ”
  • #notacult or Camp Hope: An Interview Retrospective of the Accidental Cult that Started an Actual Movement by Kate Brennan
    19 May. 2023
    “ This delightful celebration of women helping women leaves a lot of creativity for actors and directors. It would make a great radio show, site-specific piece, or (of course) a production in a traditional theatre space. ”
  • The Sun Sets on August by Ivy Laine Posey
    18 May. 2023
    “ Posey has a great grasp here on young voices and young hearts. This play captures the vulnerability and sweetness of those last moments before young people have to set out on their own, and it includes some really lovely monologues for teenagers. Give it a read and see for yourself! ”
  • ABOUT EVE by Marie Mayingi
    18 May. 2023
    “ A dark, challenging story about reproductive rights and their role in politics. This play has meaty roles for young women and asks big questions. Check it out! ”
  • I'm Not Okay (short) by Olivia Matthews
    17 May. 2023
    “ Matthews has distilled an incredibly real and complex feeling in these pages. This play demonstrates how hard it is to enjoy even things that should be enjoyable with the looming specter of debt tainting every experience. This is a great reflection on what it's like to be a victim of capitalism. Plus, it's easy to produce and perfect for young directors and classroom use. Of course, it also deserves professional productions. There's something for everyone here! ”
  • Life on the Moon by Anna Tatelman
    17 May. 2023
    “ This play has a lovely combination of complex characters, timely issues, and great structure. It kept me engaged and intrigued as a reader, and I'm sure audiences would also be enthralled. ”
  • The Lost Women by Nubia Monks
    16 May. 2023
    “ This play is deep, spiritual, and moving. It has great potential for found-space work, and it NEEDS to reach all corners of our communities. Please give it a read! ”
