Billman has a really cleaver underlying theme about self-confidence under this very funny and heartfelt play. I also like that we get to see an honest inter-generational relationship played out on stage. I think it would be a wonderful addition to a festival. Looking forward to reading more of her work.

This play is a perfect dialogue starter on toxic masculinity and gender roles. Bublitz gives us two dudes that we all think we know (and couldn't think less of) at first glance and then completely throws their power dynamic off balance making us view them differently. Would love to see this produced and published!!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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!

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.
