I just saw a reading of this play at the 2019 Valdez Last Frontier Theater Conference and there's so much that I like about it. It is delightfully disorienting, full of powerful words and images, theatrical surprises, and a very enjoyable amount of dreamy wildness.

I had the pleasure of seeing a reading of this play at the 2019 Inge Festival and was delighted by the play's freshness, active use of language, fun visuals, and lively story-telling. Diaz-Marcano's writing here is complex, musical, surprising, and alive. It is my hope that this play reaches more audiences.

I LOVE this play so much. It has easily become one of my favorite plays of all time and I marvel at it, over and over, as I re-read it again.

BONUS: I read this play with my "Introduction to Theater" students (out loud in class) and it is almost always their very favorite play as well.

THANK YOU, Sarah DeLappe for this huge gift.

I saw a reading of this play at the 2018 Midwest Dramatists Conference and there is so much that I enjoy about it. The play is sneaky smart, offering lots of excellent theatrical possibilities. The play is precise and specific while also generously open and delightfully absurd. Adams gives us a poignant in-between space in which to live with and care for some very memorable characters.

I saw a reading of this play at the 2018 Midwest Dramatists Conference and enjoyed it so much! It's an excellent work of comedy-- clever, funny, delightfully wacky, and very smart theatrically. There is so much to enjoy about the play's premise, its characters, and the fun world that Higbee has created.

I saw a reading of this play at the 2018 Midwest Dramatists Conference and was so impressed with Loewenstern's writing. There is so much that is happening, literally, all at once, as Loewenstern theatrically expands time, expanding the audience's vision and understanding of a moment. Within these expansions are haunting, exquisite images, expressing a highly memorable sense of place in motion. Really excellent work.

I saw a reading of this play at the 2018 Midwest Dramatists Conference and was so impressed and moved by it. The play is painful, beautiful, funny, full of truth. Hageman creates living, breathing characters going through a crisis, artfully giving them both space and intimacy, and it just all felt very real. Really lovely work.

I feel so lucky to have seen a reading of this play at the 2018 Midwest Dramatists Conference. Upon the first few lines, I was excited immediately by the activeness of Carnes' language and her ability to tell stories through temporal, geographical, and architectural space. There is so much exquisite attention to detail, yet the play is also emotionally powerful and painful and deeply alive. This is a play with important stories that works beautifully in multiple layers and on multiple planes. I was personally transported to multiple places while watching.

I feel so fortunate to have seen a reading of this play at the Last Frontier Theater Conference in 2017. Shai's writing is intelligent and layered and deeply human. Her characters here are complicated but accessible, and the play's dangerous environment and real-time action are theatrically very satisfying.

When I read this play I was so impressed and excited by Jan Rosenberg's writing. This play has so many fun surprises, so many theatrical moments, so much enjoyable darkness. Her characters and her environment (another character) are so alive, free, living, breathing, bleeding, scary, funny, smelly, tragic, heart-breaking. This play is wild-animal good.
