    Mysterious, haunting, and intriguing. When I saw it at the Midwest Dramatists Conference, the audience was enraptured, holding their breath until the final shocking line of the play.

  • Dave Osmundsen: Scared of the Dark by Adam Seidel

    A quietly devastating two-hander. We've seen the tropes depicted here before, but Seidel draws them in such a unique, specific, and very real manner that it feels like you're seeing them for the first time. Beautifully done.

  • Dave Osmundsen: A Moment of Clarity by Philip Middleton Williams

    A gorgeously written, concise, and moving depiction of a father/son relationship. The dialogue is spot-on, the characters feel fleshed out and real, and the story is powerfully resonant. In only ten minutes, I was captivated, moved, and felt as if I had experienced a full-length play.
