This play provides complex, interesting roles for women (especially college-age ones!). The competitive nature between the dogs is palpable, as well as the threat of "the seam." Fantastic design challenges and dynamic physicality bring Inside Siberia to life! Highly recommend this play!

WOW! This play is unequivocally the best absurdist satire I have ever read. The play is brilliantly constructed to the point where the reader truly does not know what is actual transcript from the trial and what is pure farce. A powerhouse vehicle for multiple women (including a women/non-binary Stalin!).

This play is incredibly compelling and absolutely sucks in the reader to the world of mystery and uncovering family secrets. This play will haunt you and make you think of all of the people who experience this dark side of the repercussions of gun violence.

As a university professor that has had many positionalities within academia, boy did I connect to this play! The conflict, dialogue, and unpacking of power dynamics and labor within an academic and university medical hospital setting is rife with opportunity and possibility, and would be extremely interesting for a college or university to tackle. As an aside, I love a good Waiting for Lefty reference. I cannot wait to see how this play evolves!

This play is so surprising in concept and execution. I can anticipate this play having a thriving life through semi-pro and community theatre spaces with featured roles for older women and scrappy, strapping (old? young? both?) men. You could practically taste the sea air, the burnt roast potatoes, and feel the sand between your toes right along with the characters. A wonderful play!

WOW. This play is the embodiment of the cringe emoji (and I mean that as the highest of compliments). This satire is witty, bracing, biting, and makes the audience go, "NO NO NO did they really just say that?!" A great play that could be scaled up or down depending on production needs, this work should absolutely be considered by colleges and universities across the country to confront issues of race, identity, and what it means to get ahead in the political shark tank.

This play is a force to be reckoned with and an intimacy designer's dream. Erika's beautiful depiction of mating rituals and pleasure rituals are ones that are rich with staging potential/possibility, and the humor that runs throughout the play is unmatched. A wonderful play that bridges the gap between here, then, and what might be, witch play is a must read/must consider for colleges and universities!

This play was such an incredible gift to read and work on as part of the Great Plains Theatre Conference. I learned so much as an intimacy designer and found new ways to support this incredible work. The care necessary to craft full and rich characters all throughout the autism constellation and their caregivers is evident within this play. Neurotypical and neurodiverse folks alike will find profound meaning and connection throughout this piece.

This play is beautiful, vulnerable, and so incredibly raw. Your heart aches for all of the characters, especially when they make the wrong choices. I anticipate that this play and this playwright will be taking the world by storm.

What a gift this play is to queer theatre and what a master class in how to create rich, nuanced characters. Susanna perfectly encapsulates the pre-teen/teenage struggle of who we are and who we are supposed to become, and Uncle serves as an incredibly honest parental figure who is trying their best to figure it all out. Lots of humor, empathy, and connection bleed through this text. A must read and must produce!
