A lovely, funny, and yet nuanced moment in time with a new father that showcases the spectrum of emotions such a position entails.

This short science fiction play addresses the age old question that even the most rational of parents asks at one point during pregnancy: "what if our baby is a mutant?"

A fun read with a satisfying conclusion in which Facebook, of all things, is heroic.

Hilariously realistic. Anyone who has ever been a new parent will relate to this short, heartwarming comedy about those first sleep-deprived months (years?!) of parenthood.

Without giving too much away, this short play tackles the stressors of parenting in the most extreme and absurd of situations. The reveal makes for a shockingly, darkly comedic moment that audiences won't soon forget.

A beautiful, funny, and touching reflection on what it means to be a parent and a family today. Full of hope and humor, raw beauty, and a bit of pain, this play captures the roller coaster of expectations and emotions associated with bringing new life into the world.

A cute spoof on the bank heist. Charming and clever.

A charming play that has you rooting for Danny and his family. Would be enjoyable to see for adults, kids, and families of all shapes and sizes (and species).

A fun look at science's many possible roles in the pregnancy process, the ways we navigate the unknown, and how instinct usually wins out in the end.

I absolutely devoured this play. Wickedly smart, funny...this play is everything I want in Shakespeare and more. A joyous script. Adaptation done right. I hope to see this in production.

An astonishingly beautiful play. Moving, poetic, real, and raw, this play deserves production after production.
