"Autistic Doula" is a wonderfully written monologue that addresses many lived experiences we as autistic people are familiar with that don't get enough attention by society.

H. Avery has written one of the most brilliant criticisms of what it means to be able-bodied I have ever read. It effortlessly makes you uncomfortable so that the underlying message is portrayed effectively.

H. Avery's monologue is a poignant look at how necessary it is to stand up for oneself in a society not made for everyone.

"Song and Dance Man" is a bittersweet love letter for mothers who want nothing but the best for their children.

Like all dark comedies, this play carries humor and heart together without missing a beat. The characters are distinct and relatable, and the twists and turns are unexpected.

This short play had me captivated from the jump. Samantha Oty writes these two characters with very little detail on the page yet gives plenty of room for the audience to understand who they are based on behavior. This is a well-written short play that needs to be produced!

Samantha Oty's modern retelling of one of Henry VIII's many women is freshly comedic yet still carries the tragedy a situation like Anne's calls for.

Shakir has developed a play where reality and fantasy walk alongside each other hand-in-hand. The story goes from a thriller to supernatural horror through various little details that add on to the tension without giving it all away.

Amari Shakir writes this play poetically without ever letting go of the characters. The pacing of the play has a distinct musicality to it that you can't help but be drawn into it.

Arthur M. Jolly writes with precision to the point where you feel elated one moment and heartbroken the next. A talented writer knows how to balance this dichotomy, and Arthur does it well here.
