  • Sharai Bohannon: Addressing the Nation (10 min)

    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.

  • Sharai Bohannon: Policarpa: Apocalypse Sur Amerikka

    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!

  • Sharai Bohannon: Hilda and Mae

    Lieberman takes something that could easily dissolve into two women fighting over a man (as it often does in the media) and turns that inside out pairing these two independent women together. We need more depictions of spunky, strong, independent women from all periods and having these ladies in a 1930's period play is a special treat.

  • Sharai Bohannon: The Beauty Inside

    This is such a necessary play. We need more dialogue around honor killings, rape, toxic masculinity, and why women are treated as lesser beings just because they're women. I love this play and would love to see it produced!

  • Sharai Bohannon: The Betterment Society

    I was lucky enough to read this a few months ago. It's a very gritty, and sometimes a bit absurd-ish, dark comedy that I highly recommend. I'd like to see three strong actresses sink their teeth into the material as they navigate these unique given circumstances.

  • Sharai Bohannon: Don't Trust Tess!

    This play is extremely hard to predict. It starts out as a seemingly innocent take on a woman with dementia and then shifts into a horror play that I'd like to see a design team tackle. I'm still having thoughts and I read this play quite a while ago.

  • Sharai Bohannon: We Will Not Describe the Conversation

    This is a very powerful play that haunts the reader. I also love that two women drive the action of this piece as Carabatsos leads us somewhere near a resolution. I would love to see this produced!

  • Sharai Bohannon: Blooming In Dry Season

    I LOVE this play!! The mother-daughter connection (not to mention the daughter's character arc that is usually written for men) is beautifully done!! The family dynamics and father trying to crush their child's dream also
    make it worth the read. Someone needs to produce this play immediately.

  • Sharai Bohannon: Dungeons & Dragons -- A Tragedy

    This belongs in a festival for young adults. The need to be two different people as an adolescent and the parents not understanding (or allowing) their kids to be their authentic selves is heartbreaking. This needs to be seen!!

  • Sharai Bohannon: The Play about the Play

    This is fun in the way 80's comedies staring Gene WIlder are fun. We need more of these kinds of short plays geared at making everyone laugh. We need them more than ever right about now.
