  • J. Chavez: House of Chavis by Robert Macke
    “

    I was lucky to see the reading of this at KCACTF 2018 and it is just phenomenal. Every moment, every monologue, each word is handpicked and I love it. It's heartwarming and heartbreaking at the same time. Macke does a great job at creating a whole family dynamic with only 2 family members and some rando

  • J. Chavez: Jeremiah's Creeping Arm by Eryn Elyse McVay
    “

    a great work by Eryn, she captures such a human feeling of hope and desperation to talk to those we can't reach in a short amount of time.

  • J. Chavez: John Proctor is the Villain by Kimberly Belflower
    “

    I haven't screamed at a play in so long. This is it. This is art. This is important, this is funny and dramatic and just downright good. The dialogue, the characters, the story, all of it is brilliant. Everyone should read this and everyone should produce this.

    McVay captures the ups and downs of breakups and what they can do to us. Her use of language and perspective is absolutely amazing. This play is a roller coaster from start to finish with twists and turns in all the right directions

    Rushing takes you on a journey that I wasn't prepared for. So much history and information packed into only a couple of pages.

  • J. Chavez: Silver Sixpence by Jessi Pitts
    “

    Heartwarming and heartwrenching at the same time. Pitts established an entire family dynamic in 10 minutes and was able to give us a broad view of who these sisters are.

  • J. Chavez: (trans)formada by lily gonzales
    “

    Gonzales, did that. They captured a feeling unknown to many and made it accessible. It's truly a wonderful coming of age story for genderqueer and trans people. Their use of bilingual dialogue adds to the atmosphere and world of the play. Truly a gorgeous script.

  • J. Chavez: Dust of the Street by Ryan Han

    Honestly, the beauty of the text with the intricate stage combat really shows the voice of the Han. The cross roads of two worlds for mixed individuals is well written and represented in this artistic piece.
