This play is so much fun and it is a fantastic PSA for women's health. All the characters in the show handle the subject matter beautifully. It's hilarious, it's adorable, and it's informative without being preachy or stilted. This would be a great show for kids who are just learning about their bodies. It makes it seem biological and not-scary, which, of course, it is. I wish I could have seen this play when i was little. Masterfully done, Dooley.

Absolutely adorable. I loved the whole thing, what a wonderful piece of theater, perfectly delightful for both kids and adults. Another wonderful play from a playwright who is ever bit as charming and clever as her work.

I'm not even sure what to say after this play. I'm gutted. Dark and miserable and sad, but aching. These are our children, our young, and they are lost and we are doing nothing to help them. This play shone a light on this reality in its incredibly short three pages. It cut right into my heart to the point where I'm not even sure what to say. I don't want to play any more either. I could talk about how great Bohannon is, but all I can think about is how this violence must end.

Wow. This is a fascinating play. I had no idea where it was going and each page brought something new, something chilling, something fascinating. The characters aren't named, so you should feel anything for them, right? No, this play packs a real punch--and it's going to live under my skin for quite some time. Wow, a truly masterful piece that accomplishes a ton in its short length.

This is such a lovely and powerfully sincere piece. In just ten short pages, Donnelly gives us everything we need to know about these two people. It's funny, it's relatable, and it's beautifully human. Some truly lovely character work here, and this would be such a fun piece for actors. Lovely, understated, and utterly charming.

Wow. This play accomplishes so much in a short nine pages. It's a fascinating character study--Cathro has done a masterful job of engrossing us and beautifully developing each character. You feel like you really know them and understand them--and it's a beautiful, beautiful piece. Minimal staging, minimal technical aspects, but A LOT of feeling and A LOT of heart. Seeing this would be an experience. Read it and you'll know what I mean.

A fabulous piece of experimental work. "Overqualified" is funny, but it's painful too because it's just too real. Any woman seeking work has felt this way--in fact, many women often feel this way in their day to day life. How can we please the people around us? Vansant ends the play with the simple answer--you can't, and you shouldn't have to. A great piece by a writer with a vibrant voice and a gift for clever staging. To see this performed would be exciting, entertaining, and thought-provoking.

Osmundsen is a master of dialogue, and "A Firework Unexploded" is a beautiful example of this. He has such a keen understanding not only of how people talk, but how they relate to each other. This is such a wonderful look at two people--two incredibly real people--sharing an incredibly real moment. It's confusing and complicated and you leave the scene without fully understanding either character (and it feels weird to write that word, character, since they feel so much more like PEOPLE). But that's just life, and Osmundsen has a gift for capturing life.

It'd be easy to call this play cute and sweet, but it's so much more. It's beautiful and profound and lovely and incredibly tender. This may be one of the most romantic plays I've ever read, and I'm not ashamed to admit that my throat is a little tight after reading it. Absolutely masterfully created, and truly magical. It'd be such a pleasure to see this on stage.

Okay, this is absolutely hilarious. As I was reading it, I was like, oh no, this is too real--and then, there's a hilarious twist at the end. Would be perfect for a night of short plays. Absolutely love it, pure delight, and like I said, it's just too real.
