    I was so fortunate to watch a reading of this play in Florida with Clamour Theater Company in February of '26. I loved this play! The humor is expertly balanced with heartache, the dialogue flies, by the end I was left standing in the wreckage holding my heart wondering what just happened and glad that it did. I'm eager to follow its developmental journey. Produce produce!

    I was able to see a reading of CRAZY BITCH in Florida, with Clamour Theater, and I absolutely LOVED this play! Jennie balances grief, humor, and jellyfish all while unfolding more and more detail about her characters' internal and external worlds. I was completely captured by this piece, and I would love to see it staged. Please 'dive' in! IMMORTAL JELLYFISH!

    Devastated in two and a half pages! Short, but packs a punch!

    I thought I already left a comment, so I'm very sorry to be so late in doing so... but for what it's worth this play made a roomful of queers at 2019 Lambda weep in the best way. I love this play. I want to see this play onstage. I want to witness an audience witness this play and then wrestle their thoughts into conversation. I love this play, produce this play, and teach this play- please!

    I love this script so much. Kari Bentley-Quinn has a way with language and the way time is used in this piece is fantastic. I am a sucker for the characters Bentley-Quinn has given us. The palpable longing and the mystery at the heart of this piece make it all that more compelling. Thank you Kari Bentley-Quinn for this fantastic script! I can't wait to see it live.

    Wow. Rachel has crafted a piece that's accessible, moving, fast-paced, and incredibly relevant to this moment in time. Black Mexican is a play creating space for necessary questions and necessary voices.

    Shannon's work is deeply resilient and I'm ready for more. His work resonates and strikes a chord I didn't know I needed struck. This is a play that will keep conversation in motion long after its curtain. I had the pleasure of getting to know Shannon and his work at the 2019 LAMBDA literary conference. I feel a powerful combination of relief and excitement knowing that Shannon is creating work in our industry. Get him in the room.

    John's work is hilarious, and builds slowly in a way that takes the audience by surprise. This play is so funny and poignant. I had the pleasure of getting to know John and his work at the 2019 LAMBDA literary conference, and John is absolutely someone you want in the room. Beautiful work, beautiful person.

    Beautiful work. Andrew builds worlds in an almost dreamlike way but still allows them the gravity and importance they demand. Urgent, immediate work with puppetry that calls for a wonderful theatricality. I had the pleasure of getting to know Andrew and his work at the 2019 LAMBDA literary conference. Andrew has a silent creativity continuously cooking and I can't wait to see where his work leads. Andrew writes plays I want to see onstage NOW.
