    Gutbelly captures the the gruesome brutality and codependence that weaves its way between three girls confined in an isolated cabin. Plante-Weiner allows her girls to be violent, visceral, bloody, and disgusting, disgusting, disgusting. What a delight!

    Goodheart sets up late-game revelations with a light hand and lighthearted wit that make the payoff all the more devastating. "Hot Tub" is a humorous and harrowing meditation on sisterhood, survivor's guilt, and how to reconcile one's worldview with reality when the threads of family mythos begin to unravel.

    I'm addicted to the premise of this play, and Carr's imaginative and uniquely theatrical execution does not disappoint. So excited to see where CALF SCRAMBLE goes.

    Situated somewhere between myth and the bitterest of realities, Bonefruit is an exquisite execution of a haunting sci-fi premise. Marbled with longing and regret, this beautifully theatrical play will carry you to the end of the world and back again.

    An absolute gut-punch knockout of a play. Radio Man surehandedly weaves together loss, displacement, and the dangerous blindness of innocence into a tight, compelling sci-fi drama led by three young girls. I'll be thinking about that ending for a very long time...

    Darkly comedic feminist sci-fi theatre is all I could ever ask for, and this play delivers so exquisitely. It's such a joy to explore passionate, intense female characters who are allowed to go to such extreme lengths.

  • Sophie McIntosh: Hook, Line, & Sinker by Seth Barnes
    “

    Hook, Line, & Sinker contrasts the stubbornness and imagination of young girl navigating the pressures of being a "gifted and talented" eleven-year-old with the worldview of a tough old Bass grappling with a very different kind of existential crisis. Barnes' language alternates between lush languidness and pitch-perfect earnestness as he brings these two well-matched foes to their ultimate showdown on the dock.
