  • The Ancestry Dot Com Play
    1 May. 2023
    Scream out loud funny! Scream out loud delicious! Speaks so directly to the world now and to navigating identity politics among friends and loved ones. Gorgeous and treacherous dialogue. Will fly anywhere to see it produced.
  • The Bottoming Process
    1 May. 2023
    Woo! Live laugh love the pop culture of this play, the internet a theatrical world of its own. A hilarious, searing exploration of positionality, love and lust, and narrative agency.
  • Today Is My Birthday
    1 May. 2023
    A really rich world of auditory characters that feels deceptively simple. A fantastic, smart love story.
  • Shakuntala, freely adapted from Kalidasa

    Such a juicy gift for MENASA actors. Equal parts wit and rage, Jadhwani has adapted this into a feminist masterpiece that is begging to be staged.
  • BW (One-Act Play)
    2 Jul. 2022
    We just do simply need more plays that center joy in this way. Porter writes musicality into this piece - beyond the piano. Begging to be staged!
  • All I Wanna Do Is Be Pretty Like You
    2 Jul. 2022
    Wasn't planning to read in one sitting, but the script pulls you in deeper and deeper. Complicated narrative interrogating standards of beauty any gendered gaze. Haunting and humorous, in a clear, exciting voice. "If beauty is pain, then pain must be beauty. And don’t you like beauty? Arranging beauty? Surveilling beauty. Trapping beauty?" Woof.

    7 Aug. 2021
    It is an absolute gift for a dramaturg-playwright to make history - and commentary - accessible. Makes me wish I had a brain so big. Excited to see where this brilliant, complex work goes next!

    A stunning, loving exploration of intimacy in the digital age. Each character is fully fleshed and treated with care, as is the audience in this digital age piece.
  • Count Yourself Among the Lucky
    15 Dec. 2020
    A specific, provocative exploration of love and baggage. A gripping subliminal world that dares you to pay attention. This play demands a stage.
