    I got to hear this hilarious play at the HBMG Foundation's National Winter Playwrights Retreat and was blown away by the humor and the authenticity of the characters. Although written as a comedy, the play offers a thoughtful and accessible exploration of what it means to understand one's sexual identity. I can't wait to see a full production of this ridiculously delightful play.

    I got to see the original 10-minute version of this play at Monday Night PlayGround in LA and was delighted to read the expanded full length version as other characters and stories have filled out the world. Jigour's writing is thoughtful and vibrant, and the images that often come to my mind when I think of her work are of perfect, sparkling diamonds rising above a mine of coals. I highly recommend all of her incisive and poetic work.

    Robinson's play offers an honest and lively portrayal of the impacts of police brutality on the victims' families using spoken word verse as a way of processing painful experiences and bringing their struggles to the larger community. The voices of this play are not often heard on stage and I was delighted to have an opportunity to hear this piece in development. I expect it to resonate with many people as it finds its way to production.
