What a completely delightful short play! I loved the simple and elegant way the conflict unfolds as Side B decides to set her own course. The emotional heart of the play was tender and the playfulness of the puns (it's educational! It's about math!) makes for a very enjoyable story! Kudos!

This play satirizes Orwell, pop music, and the blind devotion of Taylor Swift fans with precision and pitch-perfect timing. Hayet's keen eye for parody is incredible and I think this would make an excellent supplement to a classroom study of the 1984 novel. Such a fun play!

Short but simply horrifying in the humdrum banality of the keeping up with the most recent shooting, this brilliant one-minute play encompasses so much and pulls no punches. Maybe we will look back on this scene with twisted fascination on this relic from a bygone era from a future where we've enacted gun control. Fingers crossed. Amazing work, Adam!

Oh my goodness this play was wonderful! Mixing the complexity of science and research with the complexity of female friendship creates a truly compelling story. I loved it!

A short play that encapsulates the life and personality of a well-loved man and the family that will brave subzero temperatures to celebrate his memory the way he would want them to. Beautifully drawn characters!

Such a wonderful and touching play exploring the reality of coping with loss from suicide. I love the added detail of the very familiar "Active Oval" in Atlanta's Piedmont Park creating a grounded sense of place for the story. The dialogue flows and feels natural but the characters don't shy away from saying painful things. It's beautiful and honest. Gorgeous work!

I adored the simplicity of this story: two people trying to forge a connection built on a long-past relationship. The layers of technology and science, the unimaginable distance between them, and the spark of hope that cannot be extinguished bring this beautiful play to sparkling life. I thoroughly enjoyed it and would love to see it performed!

A completely scathing look at class in America (through the eyes of the Guilded Age wives, but come on, it could be the Real Housewives just as easily) and a gripping portrait of the psychology of the working poor. The satire works itself to a pitch perfect moment of horror and I could almost hear the future audiences gasping as the full cruelty of the wealthy women is put on display. Jonathan Swift, eat your heart out.

The first few pages of this short play made me draw my shoulders up and clench my jaw in recognition. Lamedman illuminates a scenario that is all too familiar to any woman who has ever tried to walk somewhere alone at night- and as the play continues, the tension evolves from stranger-danger to "how could I not have seen this sooner" horror. This would be a gripping and tense experience as an audio drama!

The best friendships are founded on mutual respect and shared passions and nothing can heighten the intensity of those feelings quite like rooting for the same sports team. Mildred Lewis' beautiful tribute to a season that didn't get to happen like these diehard fans had hoped breathes new life into the "sports-as-larger-metaphor" genre. What wonderful dialogue for two female performers!
