  • The Hallmark Man Card by Emily Hageman
    29 May. 2018
    “ Hageman really captured boys "being boys" at that age and brought something extremely poignant to the conversation. While these young men have been been taught the ropes of toxic masculinity, they still manage to exhibit some warmth that leads us to believe some of these "boys being boys" might still be savable...if we reach them early enough. ”
  • SHELTER IN PLACE by Rachael Carnes
    29 May. 2018
    “ This is a powerful and horrifying and necessary piece. I love how Carnes has a way of going straight to the issue without holding back. We need more plays like this and we need them to be produced when they do come along. ”
  • Slut by Nicole Jost
    29 May. 2018
    “ This is poetic, beautiful, tragic, and surprising. Jost has created a very feminist piece full of magic and danger that tackles sexuality, toxic masculinity, and so much more within 50 pages. This play needs to be produced immediately and I would be one of the first to buy a ticket. ”
  • Ghost Play by Persephone Hudson
    23 May. 2018
    “ I really like that this is a fun 10-minute that also shows how to talk about sex in a healthy manner when you're in a relationship. I laughed every page but inwardly applauded for the open discussion and the mutual respect these characters share. I'd like to see this produced if for no other reason it might encourage people to be more honest in the bedroom while giving them a good laugh in the process. ”
  • Advice for Women by Ronit Rubinstein
    23 May. 2018
    “ This is brilliant and fun! I love the People in Power and how uncomfortably close to politicians they seem. Rubeinstein has a gift for finding the humor in some seriously frustrating advice (that unfortunately sounds all too familiar). I would love to see this produced in a festival and/or published in an anthology so others can read it. ”
  • The Red Truck, a monologue by Rachel Bublitz
    21 May. 2018
    “ I want this produced everywhere immediately. We need to talk about what assault is so people can stop dismissing what they consider smaller offenses. We need to also talk about how survivors are made to doubt themselves and feel apologetic for reporting abuse and assault. Bublitz's monologues are the highlight of this Monday! ”
  • Blue, a monologue by Rachel Bublitz
    21 May. 2018
    “ This is an important and heartbreaking piece. Bublitz gets right to the heart of the issue and touches upon some smaller bits that we're not addressing as much. One of my favorite sections is the moment where she mentions that they don't have it as bad as some other groups, and how she's lucky these aren't regularly occurring events. I think we all do that sort of thing, as we process our feelings caused by trauma, where we tell ourselves it's not as bad as it could be and then feel guilty for speaking up. LOVE THIS MONOLOGUE! ”
  • Speak of the Devil! by Paul Vintner
    17 May. 2018
    “ I really like this play. It's fun, nice-size cast, and a one-act with a lot of good stuff packed in. Also, it's rare to see a sci-fi farce (and I imagine even harder to find ones that are this fun to read). I also feel like I know a lot of these people just growing up in the Midwest. ”
  • Addressing the Nation (10 min) by Cassandra Rose
    17 May. 2018
    “ This is such a smart and touching gem! We need more plays that handle allyship, intersectionality, this current administration situation, and how to be supportive of each other while we're scared. Rose does all of that effortlessly in 10 minutes. I would love to see this produced in someone's festival. ”
  • Policarpa: Apocalypse Sur Amerikka by Diana Burbano
    14 May. 2018
    “ I love Burbano's voice and her ability to weave all of these images and heavy topics together to create something most of us can't even dream of. I also love that she puts us into this world, that I feel a lot of us know nothing about, and doesn't hold our hand so much as she pushes us from the nest to see if we fly. And what a flight it is! ”
