    A riotous bilingual telenovela meets supernatural horror movie romp. You might find yourself describing the plot of this play to someone and see their face grimace in horror before you remember to tell them that it's actually really, really funny.

    A pure comic gem. Three hot dogs in a convenience store debate the meaning of it all in spectacular fashion. When meat products debate Pascal's Wager you know you have something special.

  • Greg Lam: Through the Darkest of Stars, Toward the Brightest of Futures by John Adams
    “

    A sci-fi short which builds a delightfully weird sci-fi universe of inverted gender roles, Victorian mores, and ever shifting power dynamics. Based on the feedback of the session, I believe the author will expand the piece out to better fit its epic themes.

    Makes the terror of job hunting theatrically delightful through the clever use of masks to dramatize putting your best face forward in the absurdly dehumanizing process of interviewing.

    Four generations of women in a near future that is a little too possible for my tastes. Even with the dystopian anti-women overtones of the world built, the thing referenced afterwards most throughout the weekend of the Midwest Dramatists Conference was the great grandma getting sex lessons in the nursing home.

Martin's dialogue is observant and sharp, her handling of the characters sensitive and knowing.
