A heartbreaking and humbling account of what happens when those who have lost everything are forgotten.

When your back’s against the wall even the most misguided ideas can seem like miracle cures. And in those moments of abject desperation what could possibly stand between you and ruin? Would it be enough?

Striking, poignant, and most terrifyingly so, prophetic.

A sharp, sobering, and often hysterical satire that does not relent. Smith's living nightmare paints a terrifying portrait of the not too distant future where survival means shutting up or selling out the ones you love. Brilliantly paced, painfully relevant, and at the end of the day an exhilarating read that has me wanting to stop writing this and go back for a second read.

There are few things worse than marinating in unresolved conflict and Suarez-Pena has harnessed that raw tension masterfully. Though the play is a mere 10 pages there are worlds that exist in the space between the lines that grips you tight and does not relent. Beautiful, heart-wrenching, and most surprisingly, hopeful.

Spectacular. Barbot's imagination leaps off of the page and gives us a dizzying blend of heart, humor, and urgency that is impossible to resist. Dense in it's thematic meditations yet light as a feather on it's feet.

Truly a remarkable accomplishment!

An all too familiar frustration to beginner improv aficionados elegantly transmutes into an unexpected parable about love, patience, and care. Connon's masterful manipulation of tone here is worthy of every bit of praise it receives and beyond.

The act of healing deep, unseen wounds is a delicate one that requires utmost care and discrestion. The tenderness and vulnerability demonstrated here is the very portrait of patience in the face of trauma. Truly a beautiful conversation to watch unfold.

A steady wave of merciless unease permeates through the piece as Constance does her best to suppress immediate judgement in favor of presenting an impartial portrait of an unorthodox practice.

Easier said than done.

This piece all too accurately displays the agony of finding yourself on the wrong side of 25 with viscera(l) detail. It presents the truth in all it's brutal glory but not without allowing us to also find comfort and camaraderie in the love of those who are deep in the shit with us.

Rincon once again proves himself a master storyteller with a piece that challenges the very definition of what a 10 minute piece can do. Thanks to his usual comedic flair and tender drama we're treated to a superb love story that warms the heart and exhilarates the senses.

This script is brimming with delicious language that moves fast and cuts deep. Shades of Stephen Adly-Guirgis lurk but this piece commands a voice all it's own. Loved this play.
