  • Hannah Lee DeFrates: Strauss

    What a wild ride from start to finish! So silly-goofy! This play is what the cool kids would call "fire" (pun intended).

  • Hannah Lee DeFrates: Fold [a 1-minute play]

    I didn't expect such a short piece to make me feel as emotional as this did. Though we only get a glance into Maxine's grieving process, it is a full-bodied moment that demonstrates the love we hold in memories and the things tied to them. Beautifully done!

  • Hannah Lee DeFrates: F*#@ Edward Gordon Craig

    Witty and physically hilarious with tongue-in-cheek stage directions. By the end of this satire, you too will want to say "F*#@ Edward Gordan Craig."

  • Hannah Lee DeFrates: The Fifth Horseman

    A band of apocalyptic omens split up by malice and pettiness... This is a spoofy goofy sketch that I would love to see performed! It is full of hilarious lines such as: "In high school we were like the Five Musketeers. Except, there were no muskets or nothin." and " If its a boy, we'll call it Plague. If its a girl, we'll call it Plague." So much fun!

  • Hannah Lee DeFrates: A Fragile Mind - Uprising Begins

    What a way to end the season! The gang's all here as Jenny is reunited with every character we've met so far. We get a front row seat to this mental journey, in which the series' characters (primarily Brian, who I love and want protected at all costs) struggle to distinguish truth from lies in themselves. And what an intriguing, plot-twisting journey it is...
    Then, we are left with a cliffhanger that leaves us begging for more.
    Not to mention, "the four horsemen" is the coolest superhero team name I've ever heard!
    Please go read this series now!

  • Hannah Lee DeFrates: A Fragile Mind - Reunion

    Every time I think about this script, I just want to scream to the world about how good it is. With all of the mounting suspense in this series, there is something so rewarding about getting to see so many of the series' coolest characters in the same place at the same time. There is a sort of nostalgic je ne sais quois about this leg of the adventure and it makes you root for Jenny, Brian, and friends even harder. And as a JC fan, this was really fun to read. I'm excited to see what happens next!

  • Hannah Lee DeFrates: For Sure Gonna Die

    This is a really interesting piece! I've never thought about the sleeping thing before...New fear unlocked? I love that we really get to see this character's thought process, much like that of "Machinal"'s Young Woman. I would love to see a really strong actor perform this.

  • Hannah Lee DeFrates: PASTOR JOAN HARTLEY OF OPEN HOUSE CHRISTIAN IN INDIANA: A SERMON: A MONOLOGUE

    Love is love and God is love. Through Pastor Joan, Wyndham reminds us that love, togetherness, and hope will always triumph over hate. This piece is beautiful. There are tears in my eyes.

  • Hannah Lee DeFrates: The Gift

    I was saddened by the actions of the neighbors Miriam speaks of, the unnecessary hate. Thank goodness for good friends like Lilith and for modern miracles. Thank you to Curry for this piece.
