What does it say about us when the country's most worshipped pop icon is the loneliest person there ever was? i wish i was her(s) is a humorously gutting perspective on American celebrity, internet culture, meritocracy, queerness, wealth, and isolation. And there's plenty of parody fun too!

When people ask me what my favorite plays are, PLUCK is always in my top three. I learned a lot about writing from this play, but more importantly I learned a lot about myself. It's relatable, funny, engaging, and illuminating. I think about it all the time.

Southern coded, cute, and delightful by the end! The mom could very well be my own mother. Well done!

Bizzarely brilliant- at no point could I tell where this was going next. What a creative spin on the unlimited bread baskets! I'll never look at bread the same way again!

Ooof. I did not see the ending coming. What a smart, poignant commentary on the state of things. I'll be chewing on this short play for a long time.

Terrifying and creepy! The mingling of the off kilter voices are harrowing and bone-chilling. Mandryk has organized this piece in a way that in the end, your own imagination ends up being what gets you.

It is so healing and refreshing to see this accurate portrayal of a 30 something autistic woman. Not only is she smart, authentic, and warm, but she deals with the very real environment that autistic people find ourselves in (not a strange, infantilized version of it.) Simultaneously heart wrenching and heart warming, this piece is about the resilience of autistic women, which is simply not talked about ENOUGH.

Hilarious and grotesque, in the sense that this piece chronicles the insubordinate intuition that plagues the American workforce. In other words, a creative (and memorable) depiction of the ways people ignore their own boundaries in order to "succeed."

What a fun audio play! This is such a great take on classic serial killer media and I was captivated by it the whole time. With heightened roles for three actors and a foley person, it would be so great to hear this out loud!

Short and to the point, BONUS POINT is a slap in the face. It's highly effective in what it sets out to do, and the last line sticks with you.
