“
An excellent performance piece for an Asian American actress that both pokes fun at and illuminates the way language and terminology affects our sexual health and outlook. ”

- No Time: The One-Minute Play That Was Written in One Minute by14 Jun. 2021“ A very understated but real look at the ways we often fail as humans to make the most of the time given us when it comes to keeping up with others' lives and making time for connection. ”
- NELL DASH, The Gruesomely Merry Adventures Of An Irrepressibly Sensible Capitalist With A Vengeance by28 May. 2021“ A delightful romp bursting with theatricality and farcical fun. As an 18-19th century Brit Lit lover, this play had so many enjoyable Twists (get it?) and turns, covering and combining the worlds of Austen, Dickens, Sweeney Todd, and more. NELL DASH is a true circus of beloved characters and is such fun for the audience to follow. I'd love to see a production as it is so ripe for performance. ”
- One Minute To... by26 May. 2021“ A hilariously meta short play. All playwrights and creatives will smile at the clever ways Martyka plays with and comments on storytelling conventions. ”
- Erotica for People Separated by Time and Space (a one-minute play) by26 May. 2021“ A fascinating reflection on distance and intimacy, connection and disconnect. ”
- Anarchy (a one-minute play) by26 May. 2021“ A surprising and revealing moment in time. ”
- Triptych on Divining by26 May. 2021“ Lovely, lovely, lovely. These 3 1-minute pieces are each beautiful on their own, but especially thrilling as companions. I especially love Stars and Streams and the immense emotionality McClain captures in such a short time. Overall, each of these plays seems to be about potential--and the hope of finding and embracing it. ”
- Ten Inches are Two Lifetimes [a 1-minute play] by10 May. 2021“ Speculative fiction done right! This play packs a punch and, in a beautiful if not unintended analogy, haunts the audience long after its 60 seconds have played out. ”
- That Word (one minute version) by10 May. 2021“ This short play is capital F funny. Perfect button ending! ”
- W.I.T.A.? A One-Minute Play by10 May. 2021“ Without giving anything away: this play is many things, but most of all, surprising. ”
