A big bold play with intimate raw moments, Frelmetsch the Maneater is, at its core, a play about two people trying to connect. Matthew's dialogue is realistic and fun, the characters are a joy to watch and the ending is powerful. I'd love to see it produced in all its fantastical glory.

A delightful, poignant play that is a reflection of contemporary life, Giles has one of the more unique voices for comedy I've ever read.

A deeply relevant play about sexism in the video game industry told through a very human lens. Seeing this play at The Great Plains Theatre Conference was a definite highlight. At once funny and heartbreaking, Jeremy has crafted a play that embraces the theatricality of the video game world with a beautiful beating heart at its core.

I had the pleasure of seeing a reading of this incredible play at The Great Plains Theatre Conference. A story about two sisters, themes of mental illness and environmental science are organically interwoven throughout the fabric of the play to create a powerful story about the things we do to try to save another - even when we need to save ourselves. Strong parts for female actresses. I hope to see this play produced very soon.

Had the pleasure of seeing a reading of this play at The Jam. I found it to be powerful and daring, a play about power wrapped up in a discussion of gender dynamics that happens organically. Caitlin Saylor Stephens writes with precision so sharp, her words tear you in half.

A unique family drama not often seen on stage, this play explores difficult questions through the lens of deeply interesting characters who are full of heart.

This play gripped me and wouldn't let me go. One of the most powerful plays about PTSD in the context of science fiction I've ever read. At once heartpounding and deeply emotional, Claire Kiechel has a unique, distinct voice in theatre. I hope to see this play produced soon.

A smart, touching and moving play about grief and how we carry our heartache - and how we heal.

A beautiful, touching, powerful play about time, that discusses the significance of our lives in the most human way I've seen on stage.

Dark, twisted, emotionally brutal and incredibly fun, Honors Students is, at its core, a play about growing up - and the choices we need to make when reality rears its ugly head.
