A heartbreakingly gorgeous farewell when duties call and life must be lived by societies standards. Blevins takes these characters who we thought we knew and gives them new, beautiful life. An excellent read even without knowledge of Henry V!

A beautifully rendered short monologue about how we love. Fenton's language is absolutely gorgeous and leaves you a little weepier then when you began.

Taylor beautifully expresses the queer teenage angst of not being seen nor heard. Marlowe and Nellie feel like two girls you've passed in the hallway at high school who may hide behind their fan fics and old Sound of Music dance routines, but have deep overwhelming problems that are bubbling at the surface.

"Sometimes…God gives you the desire, but the wrong equipment." Gorgeous. Sad. Beautiful. Gatton gracefully brings us into this rich world with fully fleshed out characters that you instantly root for. A truly brilliant piece that I'd love to see staged.

Lovely and funny, Sickles creates incredibly likable and well rounded characters in just under 10 minutes. The heart wants what the heart wants, and sometimes it's something the heart simply can't have. Beautiful work.

A truly incredible mixture of comedy/parody and a heartfelt narrative that leaves you laughing as much as crying. A really wonderful short play touching on the themes of friendship, queerness, and loss.

An unexpectedly sweet piece about two men having just fucked in a sauna. Sukijjakhamin builds character dynamics and tension beautifully, while leaving you happily rooting for both characters. A brilliant short play!

Beautiful ponderings of a trans masculine person whose top surgery date has been postponed. Pang's language is gorgeous and luxuriates in the dream sequences they've created. A brilliant monologue that I'd kill to see staged.

A truly wonderful piece exploring gender identity as well as guilt, depression, and loneliness. Rosenberg paints a compelling argument as to why we are better together and not as solitary beings.

Coming from someone who has just received top surgery, I don't know if Tirado-Ortiz could've gotten it even more correct. Between the beautiful language and imagery, the ponderings of this young man take us deep inside the trans experience and show us what it is like to be a trans man in this day and age. A beautiful piece for trans masculine actors.
