Ragone is a master of turning a belly-laughing joke on page 2 into a pure gut punch on page 10. With lovable, flawed characters at the center, we beautifully dive into topics of the "right" way to grieve, parent/child relationships, and the forms acceptance takes all in 10 minutes. (With a fantastic opportunity to showcase an older actor). Absolutely brilliant.

The brilliance of Berry’s work is he lures you in with a wacky high-concept idea, makes you fall in love with these characters and the love they have for eachother, and then utterly destroys your world -- all while one of these characters is fully Walrus God. Brilliantly pondering existentialism, the juxtaposition of love vs belief, and the ways one can be pleasured with Walrus tusks. Do yourself a favor and give it a read (or maybe a production??).

Beautifully haunting. A deep dive into debilitating depression, that's also filled with horror and humor. Kyle A. Smith creates this incredibly intriguing bond between our two leads that weighs the "want" to help vs the feeling of "needing" to. And the creepiest description of a monster under the bed that I'd love nothing more but to see staged. Gorgeous. Gorgeous. Gorgeous.

What does it mean to be stuck? With yourself? Another person? Two other people? And what do we owe to each other, both in the well and outside of it. A beautifully funny and existential piece that entrances you while making you ask the big questions all within a few minutes. Masterfully done.

Just saw Firebird's production of this masterful piece and I was blown away. The piece is filled with rich characters who you immediately take to, exploring sexuality, gender, and overall place in the world. Senese-Grossberg has created a world that you simply long to live inside of for as long as possible. Highly, highly recommended.

Absolutely hilarious. A worse nightmare in many senses executed to perfection. My jaw dropped at the twist and I couldn't stop laughing. Would love to see this staged (or as a prologue in a full length???). Loved it.

Such a beautifully rendered and sweet piece. The play *moves* -- in a kind of thrilling way that you wouldn't expect from a game entitled "7 minutes in heaven*. It's crazy how instantly we fall in love with these characters. A brilliant piece!

A whole complicated, complex, heartbreaking, and sweet story in a mere 10 minutes. Hall captures the complexities around being queer in an unaccepting household -- without the screaming and the crying. This play lives in the quiet moments and does so exquisitely.

Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful. To have a play filled with so much internal conflict and met with nothing but love, is so joyous. Not to leave out the fact that the dialogue is gorgeous on top of these characters who we absolutely love and root for. And one more time for good measure... beautiful.

A hilarious short piece that takes you on a heartfelt journey at the same time. Kaplan aptly explores Tim's journey of how to declare his self-expression to the one that matters most through baseball references theatre goers will adore. A home run in every sense.
