Truly stunning. POPSICLE KISSES explores the subtle, insidious nature of situations of abuse, particularly sexual abuse within families. Father is a truly frightening, detailed character. What makes Franky Gozalez's play so masterful is the character of Daughter. For a play of such intensity of subject matter and movement, the true strength of the piece is in the subtleties of this father-daughter relationship. A play I won't soon forget.

Heartbreaking, captivating, raw, and honest. IN FULL BLOOM deals with the practicalities of grieving. Zubel treats Roger and Beth with love and dignity, honoring their separate expressions of grief and making a space for them to connect in the midst of their personal catastrophe. A beautiful short play.

Wow - a beautiful one-woman short play about fury, homeland, and hope. Diaz-Marcano weaves poetry, magic, and deep, deep anger into this piece in such a careful, artful way. RABIOSA is as moving and powerful as a hurricane; if any human being can stand up to a storm, it's Rocio.

I wish everyone could see the face I made when I finished reading this creepy, awesome play. I am delighted and horrified - this piece of radio theatre would make Stephen King's heart beat faster. I can only hope I get to hear it performed one day. So clever, so creepy. I love it.

A beautiful short play about shame, forgiveness, family, and connection. Becky and Kyle need so much from one another, and it takes a lot of messy work to get to a place where they can ask for the things they need. Asher Wyndham covers so much ground in such a short piece. A great role for a trans/non-binary actor -- these characters are complex and deep.

This is the sweetest little play I've read in a long time. So funny, and so heartwarming. A lovely, simple story about connection.

A short play that left me feeling frustrated and pissed off in the best possible way. DEE is a vital part of the conversation about intersectionality. This play speaks for itself: a must-read.

Just reading this play had me laughing so hard there were tears in my eyes; I can't even imagine the effect in person. Hilarious and wonderful; a "wish I had thought of that first" kind of play.

Aching and heartbreaking, full of beauty and truth: THE LOOPHOLE asks how much grief the human heart can bear before it transforms, for good or ill. Melding music, magic, poetry, and high stakes, Isom-Campbell's play is exciting theatre.

A story of beauty, creation and destruction, grief, and love. THE ARSONISTS stunned me and changed me. Jacqueline Goldfinger deftly weaves together the deeply complex -
legacy, fate, mourning - in a way that feels easy. A play that will stay in your head and work on you long after it's over.
