I'm very happy to see that Adrian is taking this play to UMASS Play Lab this summer. I Love Sean is fresh and immediate. The use of language is utterly unique, and when coupled with dry wit makes for a sharp and necessary critique of how modern women are often expected to interact with the twenty-first century. Einspanier's ability to weave such a full world with such brevity is truly a skill. I hope to see more productions soon, and I encourage you to read more.

Edith is a genius. The Mystic is wonderful, hilarious, thoroughly researched, and heartbreaking at exactly the right moments. We workshopped Mystic at the 2016 Sewanee Writers' Conference, and the play opens up to its readers in the best way. It's not easy to do what Edith does so well, and yet she makes it seem like it is. Truly a wonderful work, and I'm excited to see where it goes.

Danielle's writing is like music in the way that it escalates, building to a cacophony and still finding pockets of stillness. She tackles brutality with delicate language, allowing the play to breathe in a way that is frighteningly beautiful. We workshopped Dust at the 2016 Sewanee Writers' Conference, and it was a delight to spend time with this piece, and with Danielle. Dust is a haunting play that should find its way to a stage. If you have a few hours, and a nightlight- dive in.

I DON'T HAVE WORDS. Luckily Sarah DeLappe does, and they are never misused, and so precise. This is a play which really challenges what you can do on a stage. And it has so many roles for women. It's perfect. Pick it.

Holly has a wonderful and lyrical way with language, and her exploration of what it means to be separated from what you love and what you know is so precise. She weaves a beautiful world with characters at odds with one another, coming from different backgrounds and colliding with one another in unexpected ways. Her writing is both familiar as the stories we have known all our lives, and fresh. She's a writer to watch. I hope to see this beautiful play find its way to a stage.

Charming and beautiful and hard but necessary. I and You is important and lovely.

Stop everything and read this. Ophelia is so funny passionate and Meghan Brown has such a grace with her words that by the time you've finished reading Ophelia you'll only be hungry for more, which is perfect because she's written so many things for you to read. ALSO all of her plays are so well paced that the audience sits enchanted throughout, which is great because sometimes audiences are shuffly and no one really likes that paper rustle nonsense.

Bella gets it right. Not only does Speed Of Light tackle issues of morality and mortality, it does so while throwing some truly complex female characters together onstage. Bravo to a wonderful SPACE play which owns the final frontier while taking some pretty brilliant risks.

Such a beautiful play. I really admire MJ's ability to pose such multifaceted questions, trusting the audience to follow the threads. This play is funny, and makes you ache. It's also REALLY pretty onstage.

Perfect, and fast! A really fresh take on MB, while also a really original fresh voice. Totally new story which alludes to a classic.
