There is so much passion and love in this play, the moment where Rachel Carson sees the ocean for the first time moved me to tears. Viellieu-Davis dramatizes history to great effect in this short.

A deeply poetic and beautiful play. The world Svich creates drips with such rich imagery, just reading it off the page dozens of fantastic stage pictures come into my head. I was so enthralled by the characters, and the use of time, memory, and dream. This play offers so much theatricality and spectacle I can just imagine designers leaping at the chance to bring it to life. Incredibly well done, highly recommend reading and producing USHUAIA BLUE.

This one act is a bit of a roller coaster, taking the audience through twists and turns until the last few moments when you realize the horrifying truth. The world and characters are very well crafted, leaving so much space for actors and designers to dig into and get creative with.

It is so challenging to be legitimately scary on stage, but I jumped more than once and had to hold the hand of the person next to me throughout the production of PURITY I saw. Rice has such a deft hand at building tension and suspense. Throughout the play you're not sure if you're about to see two people get together or watch someone get murdered. So creepy and very well written.

A super hilarious short play that leaves so much room for actors to play. I saw it performed live and laughed throughout!

This play is a beautiful explosion of imagination and craft! Teagle builds an amazing world that has you rushing from page to page reveling in the humor, honesty, and absurdity of this place that grants you childhood wishes permanently. It’s also a play that’s jumping off the page to be staged! I highly recommend read and producing this script. Mastodons for ever.

A fantastic short piece that isn’t afraid to get down and dirty (or bloody). Krause manages to fit in so much life in the brief pages, as well as three rich and full characters ready for actors to step in to. I’m excited to read more of her work.

Heart breaking and heart wrenching. PROTECT AND SERVE is a devastating ten-minute play that asks why not all children are allowed to be children.

This play made me think about forgiveness and if it’s for the person who wronged, the person was wronged, or both... Letting go of your anger is, in a way, a gift to yourself even if the person doesn’t deserve to be let off the hook but at what cost? Do you lose yourself or respect for yourself in that choice? This play that sends me off on lots of questions, none of which have easy answers... Which is just what I love for in powerful stories.

I love this play so incredibly much that I want to eat it so that it will live inside of me. It is hilarious, daring, honest, and so freaking sexy. COLLECTIVE RAGE is brilliant in every way. Read it! Produce it!
