Brian the Comet is a powerful coming-of-age story packed with poetry. This is so tender and beautiful, you can tell it was written with a lot of love. This play touched me deeply. Hageman is a master of her craft and is probably just generally awesome (I'm sure).

Structurally this play is perfect for a small drama department or a big drama class. It's filled to the brim with fascinating roles for actors to tackle. Produce this show.

A reflective piece that tackles the scope of relationships in our lives in a very conceptually unique way. A very earnest piece - this monologue would make a lovely addition to any festival. Jovanovich’s poetic yet down to earth dialogue shines throughout.

Jovanovich has crafted a wonderfully fantastic, metatheatrical, absurdist drama with this show. Fast-paced and fascinating, I was easily able to imagine myself as an audience member watching a production of this piece unfold. This purgatorial train ride is full of captivating moments and subtle revelations!

When two baseball announcers have no baseball to talk about are they even worth a listen? The answer to that is DEFINITELY. There's something uniquely calming about this play - something about how Slaff writes the fascinating and light back and forth between these two characters.

There's a really fun back and forth banter Elliot plays with in this piece. I think we can all relate to being in James' position - dealing with bureaucracy can definitely feel absurd at times! Fun piece for a festival of short comedic plays. Produce it!

Gary has been tasked with assisting Lucy plant a forest...then he's greeted with the threat of a social media, a gun, and a cheese knife (cheese included!). While these characters get off to a bumpy start, as the play progresses they begin connecting in an enchanting and hope-fueled way. Beautiful. Moving. Important. Haas showcases her ability to create compelling, sincere characters, and a sanguine story.

Cassanova's got nothing on Take-Out Container, one of the main characters in Weaver's fantastic play! Take-Out Container is a literal take-out container, but he has a fascinating personality and rapport with Leo and Raimi. If you've ever been interested in the sexcapades of a take-out container you won't be disappointed!

Some heart surgery. Some promiscuous Aunt activity. Lots of take-out. Lots of laughs. Another wild, whacky, and wonderful show by Weaver!

P.S. I think Weaver and I both find something absurdly hilarious about giving food a personality of it's own. And you know what? Rightfully so! It's always hilarious!

Oh, this is such a special piece. It's powerful, harmonic, and eye-opening. Everyone should take the time to give this one a read.

This play feels like briefly poking your head into a whimsical and melancholy world. A clever tale about intimacy and loneliness that keeps you surprised for its whole duration. Not to mention the fun cast of characters, a "scuba diver", a knife, a fork, and our protagonist, Bettie. This would be so visually interesting on stage!

Jane's boyfriend, Floyd, is lazy and good for nothing. He's been mooching off of her for far too long - what a pest. He IS a pest. He is, in fact, a bed bug. Sobler does a great job in this show of depicting an abusive relationship through an absurdist scope. A blend of sadness and dark comedy, this is a fascinating play that presents the ugly facts of dying relationship.
