  • Stroke Vagina, a Moyamoya Story by Nilsa Reyna
    20 Dec. 2023
    “ Stroke Vagina is a raw and vulnerable, but comedic and theatrical exploration of the physical, mental, and emotional realities of health crises. Nilsa deftly portrays how illness can prompt a person to reconsider everything they thought they knew and everything they thought they wanted. This play will feel all too familiar to anyone who has ever experienced (or known someone who experienced) the compounding anxiety of being sick in America. Please bring this play to your community! ”
  • AS I EAT THE WORLD by Luis Roberto Herrera
    20 Dec. 2023
    “ This play is a powerful and genuine exploration of eating disorders, masculinity and mental health. Though Colombian/pan-Latine masculinity serve as the backdrop for Luis's struggle, this specificity reveals the universal ways in which both our immediate communities and broader American culture impact self-image and overall well-being. I saw Luis perform this show at the Tank in New York, and I think more communities out there deserve to see it too, and contend with the questions it provokes about eating disorders, body image, and mental health. ”
  • I Wanna Fuck like Romeo and Juliet by Andrew Rincon
    28 Feb. 2023
    “ I saw the production of this play at 59E59, and I loved it. This play is a fantastic subversion of expectations, genres, storytelling traditions, and theatre norms. Heartbreaking and heartwarming at the same time the entire time. Please read and consider this play; it deserves to be seen in your community! ”
  • AFFINITY LUNCH MINUTES by Nick Malakhow
    13 Jul. 2021
    “ Affinity Lunch Minutes is an excellent play that portrays the struggles that BIPOC people face when we find access into predominantly white institutions. The play asks important questions about whether institutions can be changed from within, about the power and role of teachers in the fight for justice, about the responsibility of bystanders, about respectability politics, and about the value (or lack thereof) of discourse about oppression. This play is a nuanced and beautiful manifestation of today's racial dynamics in the U.S. and it needs to be widely produced! ”
