Sometimes you have no choice but to be a superhero when you're a woman. Constantly needing to defend yourself against villains with sheer courage and tenacity. Fantastic work!

An incredibly layered and rich capture of working through trauma in order to move forward. When we unmask prejudices, often they're covering an inability to accept oneself. A knowledge which helps us understand and therefore forgive their behavior. Beautifully complex and powerful work.

An incredible journey that takes us through a journey of awakening after a near death experience with such depth! Well done.

An incredible weave of storytelling, gorgeously constructed with great depth that stays with you. Well done.

A phenomenal monologue capturing the experience of fighting claustrophobia with such gorgeous language and imagery. Breathtaking!

A fascinating tale, truly captivating and a compelling love story in a surreal crumbling of the world. Imaginative, vividly painted and well done!

Art lovers rejoice, this is such a clever and fun dissection of art with a hilariously unexpected twist! Marvelous!

A hilarious and well constructed narrative delving into the moment preceding a break up. The breakdown of the fourth wall is great, love the direct address. Well done.

A hilarious look at life without all the others in our lives, I mean we don't even have a work husband anymore! So instead we make do with the real one, sigh. But yay for zoom! Well done.

From ancient times to modern day, a tradition reigns on. The fire of destruction continues as war and rape rage on. We follow the story of a high school girl who is raped and the remarkable parallel to the past. Incredibly important work.
