    Holy crap this play is amazing. Haygen-Brice is one of the most fearless playwrights of our time.

    This is a gorgeous, moving play. Jeesun's ability to create rich, specific, full characters is breathtaking. I was deeply engaged with their journey and hope to see this play produced when theater returns.

    This is one of my favorite plays - one that helped me become a playwright. I love Saviana's writing, the dark humor and the incredible characters (including the backdrop of NYC) and how they all connect. There's so much humanity in this play!

    Ren's work is poetry of truth and helps us see humanity in the ghosts that haunt us. I hope this play gets produced as soon as we're able to gather again so we may all heal.
  • When We Were gods

    This play is both a sweeping epic and incredibly intimate, a true inventive theatrical excursion that takes my breath away each time I see it on its developmental journey. This is a story that begs to be told so as many people as possible can witness it. I hope to see it produced when we return to theaters - a lot and often.

    This play is one of the most inventive, imaginative, brilliant pieces of theater I've read in a long time; it's biting in its commentary, funny and brilliant and even in a heightened world, grounded with characters who are so, so real. Amara's creating new worlds with her work.

    Jahna is brilliant and this play is incredible and I hope it's the first play we all get to see fully produced and realized in theaters when we return.

    This is one of my favorite plays of all time. Everything about it is perfect. It's funny, heartbreaking, and critiques theater in a highly theatrical and brilliant way. I'd watch this play everyday if I could.
  • You Have To Promise

    Wow, I love this play. My heart needed this play. It's a beautiful, delicate, powerful piece about love, this is such a special piece.

    Like many of Stefani's plays, this one is hugely political and important and so very deeply human. It's a play for right now. I hope theaters take note and support this timely play.
