A haunting, darkly funny play about the epidemic of suicide on campus that is so frequent people are almost complacent about it. Adults being nonchalant and failing the people they need to protect by hiding the truth. I loved the characters of BADLY DRAWN JON and I ALMOST DIED CATHY. Man, this play is as brutal as it is funny. But so very necessary.

This is one of the best plays about abusive family dynamics I've ever read. I'd love to see how this would play out onstage. Elmo's evolution is terrifying. The defending and blame and gas-lighting is all too real. The moment when Elmo first 'speaks' and gives their list of demands is absolutely thrilling, disorienting theater. Really wonderful.

This is the 2nd play I've read by this author (highly recommend Night Creatures as well). I'm blown away by how the mundanity of worklife is captured, the awkward yet meaningful and oddly deep conversations with people we don't truly know yet see every day...and then it all comes crashing to a horrific end. This is a play about somebody's worst nightmare.

WOW-I was floored after reading just one page of this play. This is the asexual experience. A wonderful play about how there's more than one ways to love, and more than one way to be in a loving relationship.

WOW. What a jungle gym of life. The good, the bad, the ugly. Really in awe of the characters and their voices. I would love to see this on a stage.

On the page, this is absolutely horrifying and yet all too plausible. I loved the playful twists and turns...and then the not so playful twists and turns. This is a play that I would love to see different interpretations of, having already seen the one at Playwrights Realm.

The first time I read this play, I got serious Martin McDonagh & Adam Rapp vibes. This is so suspenseful it made my stomach hurt...it's so difficult to pull of Dystopian, post-apocalyptic, & SFF onstage, but ADVENT pulls it off. And with only 3 characters in one location...truly astonishing.

This is such a unique, poetic, and lyrical play. Some of my favorite surrealist scenes I've ever seen in a play, Will never forget that SHARK.

OBSESSED with this one, and so excited it will be getting its first full production. Heidi is such a delicate writer, always balancing humor with the most insane family drama. Can't wait to see Dairyland in person.

A heartbreaking play about grief and the trauma of trying to forgive. The terror of having to move forward and raise a kid on your own and trying not to fall apart. Really moving, this one.
