    "Moonlight Over L.A." takes the nostalgic noir atmosphere and breathes life into it with fresh theatricality. Ken Love manages to combine crime, misogyny, race, and trauma and turn into it a cinematic exploration over the human condition within the time period from an original angle.

    18 Apr. 2024
    Ayvaunn Penn has written one of the most poetic pieces of theatre that I have read. In order to write a theatre-for-social-change, the writer must have compassion towards the subject matter, and Penn does!
  • FIRST LIGHT
    18 Apr. 2024
    "First Light" presents us with a solid foundation of a woman desperately trying to find a way out of the emotions she feels coming up to the surface. This tightrope act is well-executed and makes us wonder if our protagonist is enlightened by it all.

    "First Date 2099" is a sweet and futuristic look into how human beings will (potentially) find love. Byham's writing is strategic, giving us moments of humanity sprinkled into the robotic interactions between these two characters which breathes life into the audience.
  • Revenge of Eve
    18 Apr. 2024
    "Revenge of Eve" is a clever and brilliantly written exploration of how religion seeps into the DNA of every individual who finds themselves in the midst of questioning. The dialogue is razor-sharp and fast-paced giving room for the audience to understand the complexities of these characters while never lagging in pace. This is one of the boldest scripts I've encountered in recent years and would love to see this produced!
