  • Why Are You Like This? (The Audience Services Play)
    28 Feb. 2021
    Bohannon writes an amazing cast of characters who are just trying to earn a living while navigating the never ending cycle of a call center. I watched through the character of Max's eyes contend with the relentless entitlement, privilege, and arrogance of the world flooding through their headset. A hilariously, refreshing reminder that the customer is not always right...in fact, they are usually never right.

  • This Bitch: Esta Sangre Quiero
    10 Feb. 2021
    A wildly funny adaptation that truly embraces the balance of 1600s comedy structure and Gen Z vibes. The play’s self awareness only lends itself to the endless comedy of errors. Never thought a person could bring soliloquies into the 21st century, but Dawes’s creative use of Instagram is only one of the many creative updates showcased in this comedy.

    Enjoyed a virtual reading of Teen Dad with Inkwell Theater and found that once again Dawes showcases her talent to write dynamic, extremely developed characters with complex stories that are well balanced with humor. This family drama is a refreshing tale for the stage with characters any actor would find exciting to play.

    An inspiring play that attempts to untangle the knot of friendship, family, and core beliefs. The characters of Zoe and Sofia are both forces to be reckoned with as the play reveals not only their goals for careers, religion, and science but their vulnerabilities and secrets that made their friendship more like family.
  • good friday
    22 Jun. 2020
    Gripping play that tears down academia's pristine legacy to reveal its violent core decorated by the broken and busied bodies it tries to leave behind. Colón's ferociously vivid writing is the wake-up call we need.
