A fascinating look into a story that most are unfamiliar with and, though it's set over a hundred years ago, feels completely contemporary and relevant. With deeply dimensional characters and a story that surprises and captivates, Neuman has crafted a dream play for actors to bite into and an engaging and heartbreaking tale. This story needs to be told and audiences will find themselves riveted and completely invested.

Simultaneously silly and heart-warming, "In the Jar" was selected as part of our student-directed one-act play festival and was well received by the audience, and the cast and director had a blast working on it. It's had to find a slightly large-r cast for 10-minute plays and this play offers great opportunities for a variety of actors.

A powerful play that captures two parents dealing with their past and their present and how it will all impact their future. It was selected as part of our student-directed one-act play festival and was well received by the audience, and the cast and director had a blast working on it.

A beautiful and haunting piece that addresses death in a human and accessible way. It was selected as part of our student-directed one-act play festival and was well received by the audience, and the cast and director had a blast working on it.

A lovely and haunting piece about the environment that finds humor alongside pathos. It was selected as part of our student-directed one-act play festival and was well received by the audience, and the cast and director had a blast working on it.

I'm constantly in love with and delighted by Weingarten's plays. This play was selected as part of our student-directed one-act play festival and was well received by the audience and the cast and director had a blast working on it. The irreverence of the piece makes it "hysterical" and sadly still completely relevant.

What a fun and silly piece! It was selected as part of our student-directed one-act play festival and was well received by the audience and the cast and director had a blast working on it.

A total romp and fun time! It's rare to find a piece that feels so comfortable and familiar but new and vibrant at the same time and that's exactly what Culebro manages in this new adaptation of the classic text. A fantastic piece for theaters everywhere looking for a new comedy to program into their season that will engage their audiences and keep them laughing throughout.

Funny and poignant at the same time - my favorite kind of play! Shenoy captures both the absurdity and humanity of training for the medical field and does this in a tight 90 minutes. A really lovely piece of writing that will resonate with anyone who's ever been to the doctor.

A simultaneously HILARIOUS and very touching play! I had the pleasure of seeing it performed as part of Boston Theater Company's Queer Voice Festival and it was a huge hit. I've never seen this story talked about and Garcia does it in such an inventive and engaging way. Beautifully written and structured and takes us on a journey that changes how you think and feel - the perfect effect of a short play.
