A farce that will always be unpredictable. I truly love the opening concept of the assigned roles to actors that dance on meta territory. The play is a light-hearted, fast-paced comedy. You can sense how much fun the playwright had writing this. Farces are truly a difficult project. I believe any comedy director out there would thoroughly enjoy tackling this play.

A timely, bold play that demands your attention. The intense story analyzes the complexities of cultural identity while balancing truthful stories of violence and aggression immigrants face as they attempt to call the United States home.

A heartbreaking story of friendship as the audience watches two friends grow and bond over the game of baseball. As their pitches get stronger and harder, the life lessons and trauma they face develop as well. They learn to cope with adolescence, family, life while dreaming of making it the Majors.

An intricate play that weaves together grieve, politics, trauma, and family. Carabatsos asks difficult questions many of us face today since the 2016 election. How do we rebuild? Can we rebuild? What pieces are worth saving?

A beautiful feat of storytelling. A captivating story of family, adventure, and the bond of siblings that cannot be broken. Ramirez Puckett brings a myth to life to speak to truth to the current state of the world and those who seek a better life for their children.

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.

A timely, necessary play that dares to venture into the unknown future of a world (our world) in the brink of collapse. Audiences watch the creation of friendship and love attempt to survive a dystopian future and dare question their creators’ purpose and define their own destinies.

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.
