  • in a way that matters by Tristan B Willis
    7 Mar. 2023
    “ "So I’m here to beg you to keep the fucking archaeologists away from me" sent me into the stratosphere. A gorgeous and funny meditation of death, queerness, and memory. I absolutely recommend watching the recorded livestream if you are able! ”
  • Gentlemen and Ladies by Alyssa Haddad-Chin
    6 Mar. 2023
    “ This play is a harrowing, but hilarious examination of masculinity, power, and the state of the alt-right in the United States. The metatheatrical concept of having non-male bodies portraying these cis men really drives home the theme of the performance of masculinity. It made me laugh at certain points, but also really freaked me out. A recommended read for sure and I'd love to see it on stage! ”

    “ A gorgeous, layered play with a full, clear world. I can really see it on a stage, so I hope a theatre scoops it up soon. ”
  • For Your Consideration by Jasmine Sharma
    18 Feb. 2022
    “ I loved it. Jasmine displays a masterful ability to use different forms of media in a story meant for the stage. I loved the use of these artificial, over-the-top, and absurd dating shows in order to tell this very complex and real human story. A type of play I really love. ”
