Berryman is always writing roles that make an actor foam at the mouth, but ALIEN GIRLS gets meta and murky about competition. Entrenched in love and complicated compassion, this play about fated friendship, collaboration, and other worldly womb politics is also, quite simply, fkn funny. It challenged my core beliefs, and I can't wait to ugly cry with my own Carolyns and Tiffanys at an eventual production.

Precise, haunting and honest, this play is not only a gift for actors, but an accessible and considerate exploration of sexual violence and adolescence in the internet age. With language that is easy on the ears and grueling on the heart, this is a piece that especially universities and colleges should consider!!

Was lucky enough to see an excerpt of this play read, and was immediately struck by the theatricality and immediacy of the internet. Reading the full draft confirms this is a piece with juicy roles for comedic actors hungry for searing text. Hope to see this exploration of the private and personal commodified fully produced!

Lardner has created equally funny and frustrating characters in this very human play - great monologues for femme actors!

Gorgeously wacky exploration of risk in the private v public world of reality TV. Juicy, complex roles for femme actors, equal parts funny and infuriating!

AH! A climate change play that makes the macro threat of looming danger immediate and personal. A complex look at financial burden, censorship, and the consequences of integrity when dedicating one’s whole life to one’s work. Chewy, delicious dialogue with juicy roles for femme actors. A thrilling call-to-arms - hope to see her produced!

A deeply moving ensemble piece tracking tectonic shifts of grief. Beautiful rhythm to the dialogue and some really juicy monologues in here for hungry actors!

A wonderfully rich and exciting world with a brazen n' bold protagonist. An exciting exploration of a young person asserting her own identity in a country that thrives on misinformation. And, a gift for actors in search of monologues!

This play gets you - deceptively funny until it is not. Such a warm, rich world of complex, destructive, fiercely loving characters. Hope to see it fully produced soon!

A truly sick jam! A rhythmic, fast-paced interrogation of identity and class in the pursuit of community. Gorgeous portrayal of a young people seeking justice with interpersonal consequences.
