  • H. Avery: LATE LEARNING (a full-length play)

    Heartwrenching and powerful, this contemporary southern drama is full of dysfunctional familial relationships. It doesn't shy away from ugliness, and in doing so, it leads the audience towards finding compassion for its deeply flawed characters. I think that's the purpose of this play- to build compassion for our past selves and to process generational trauma. Well worth the read!

  • H. Avery: Impossible Theories Of Us

    In Impossible Theories of Us, the way that love and connection are able to transfer through technology, through death, and through transition in the play is such a powerful depiction of the human experience. And while Mabey's use of imagery provides a lot of opportunity for very cool technical elements, the tenderness of the piece is what makes it so striking. This is an excellent option for theatres looking to produce a two person play with minimal set that packs a real punch!

  • H. Avery: She Got Better

    I love this reimagining of Goldilocks and Little Red Riding Hood in recovery. I think it's refreshing to see adult women onstage finding space to heal their inner children with each other, and not something people usually feel brave enough to do in real life. I think this play fills a gap in representation of something I haven't quite seen enough of.

  • H. Avery: Burritos Pa' Morir

    HILARIOUS. Burritos Pa' Morir had me cracking up the entire script. Not only are there layers upon layers of comedic bits, but the fun character dynamics and the comedically blunt commentary on whiteness really add to the meat of the piece. I'm sure audiences devoured the recent production of it; I'd kill to have seen it!

  • H. Avery: AS I EAT THE WORLD

    From the first second, I was captivated. AS I EAT THE WORLD draws from so much life experience and for that reason it is one of the most empathetic plays I've ever encountered. I so wish I can see this live one day!

  • H. Avery: #UsToo

    I did not see where this was going from the beginning! #UsToo is unexpectedly gripping and offers a multitude of perspectives on the me too movement.

  • H. Avery: FINE YOUNG SATANIST: A HIGH-SCHOOL MORNING ANNOUNCEMENT: A MONOLOGUE

    I think this monologue is a fun take on the modern day theatre kid. I certainly remember the Fine Young Satanist of my high school experience and think about him often- and I love that this kind of kid is represented in a stage piece now.

  • H. Avery: Bunny

    This monologue is killer! The imagery is so vivid and the journey is captivating from start to finish. The ending will stick with me for a long time!

  • H. Avery: Hombres Verdaderos: Part 1

    I can't recall the last time, if ever, that I've seen such an accurate, respectful, and insightful portrayal of such a young child onstage. The depiction of Antonio and his relationships with his parents and his toys is so meticulously crafted. The subject matter is haunting.

  • H. Avery: BREAKING THE LEASE (a 5 minute play)

    This little play packs a punch! Isobel is a character I would line up to see more of over and over again.
