“ SPRAWL is a daring work about the ethics of appropriating trauma for art told through but not limited to a fracturing timeline, a game show, a wedding banda, a play within a play, a commencement speech, and an extended Death Note reference. What ties these all together is Dee, a character who manages to frustrate and draw sympathy at once as they grieve the loss of their relationship with their friend/unrequited love through increasingly questionable means. A frenetic, sometimes tragic, and gorgeous play. ”

“ Part sci-fi, part gothic horror, "Truth or Consequences" tackles how systems of white supremacy ensnare people of color by promising them a seat at the table only to use them to eradicate non-white cultures and ultimately themselves by having the main character fight against a sentient hotel that sprouts tentacles--and it works! Seriously unique, you won't forget this anytime soon. ”

“ The Ballad of Cassie and Joe reimagines the Agamemnon and Genesis 39 as a love-story that transcends continents and mythologies, managing to be equal parts heartbreaking and heartwarming without ever feeling contrived. The connection between Cassandra and Joseph is striking and well-realized, making them impossible not to root for even as their romance is doomed and their fates are sealed. Proctor pulls no punches, but just like the dream space the lovers find (or create), there are pockets of joy and hope to be found and clung to as well. ”

“ If there's one word that encapsulates this play, it's "joy." The characters are fully realized and likable, even when they make mistakes. It's refreshing to engage with a work that doesn't indulge in trauma as a driver for conflict, especially when Black and brown bodies are at the center. ”
