Guyton has crafted a powerful one minute play with Out of the Bag. Ripe with tension, this piece plows towards it's unfortunate, inevitable end where it stops you dead in your tracks.

A lovely, hopeful piece. Perfect for high school actresses looking for audition or competition material. Carrie isn't naive, she's a poetic dreamer, and we need more hearts like hers.

Haunting.

Produce this play in every city in the US. Produce this play until it stops being necessary. Produce this play until we CAN hear their voices. Produce this play.

At once engaging and surprising, this play is not what I expected, in a good way. Sickles shows once again that his creativity can't be quarantined.

"We raise our hands, when we know the answer — We speak, when spoken to."

The beautiful--and tragic--thing about this play is that it is applicable to so many situations, and perhaps too many eras. I love that this play focuses on the future and on action, and I hope someday it isn't as necessary as it is today.

Great work, as always, by Carnes.

This play title had me laughing and also jealous, as Cheryl has yet to discover me. Hilarious and meta.

As fun as this was to read, I would so LOVE to see this in performance. The characters, particularly Reginald, leap off the page and the comedy is infectious!

What begins as a tense exchange devolves into physical violence in this short play by Hansen. With somewhat open text, actors and directors are able to interpret the situation and circumstances as they see fit. I love imagining the kinds of interpretations that can be applied to the characters, their relationship, and the inciting incident that brought about the events of this play. Results could be comic or quite dark. This would be a great tool for scenework!

What a whopper! I love the journey this play takes and how I felt at first like I was on solid ground before suddenly losing my footing. MARRIED BLISS is a realistic window into a marriage -- and depending on the direction, could play up the comedy of the situation or its darker side. I'd love to see it produced back to back with different interpretations.

A lovely glimpse at an almost apocalypse and the ways in which the fear of our "last moments" can open us up to recognizing our truest desires. I would love to see this play in production.
