A short but incredibly powerful piece, and every word came from public sources, but Carnes weaves the lines into a tapestry of heartache and danger. Plays like these are so important and need to be read and seen.

An unusual take on superheroes and responsibility from the rarely-seen geriatric point of view. Less dark and gritty, more “been around the block.” The relationship between these two superheroine siblings feels natural and loving, despite their differences.

Wow. There are some serious views in this piece that will slap you in the face. Race, sexuality, privilege... and guilt. The dialogue rambles and emotions run high. A fascinating look at extreme leftism in the world of BLM and Grindr. Impactful.

An unusual coming-out-late-in-life story that takes some expected and unexpected turns. The juxtaposition of adult themes with the children’s show (and puppets!) makes for a few great acting and design opportunities.

As twisted as a candy cane! Full of real childhood longing and adult humor that would get you a lump of coal. Busser, dude, you’re a sick puppy. Looking forward to reading more!

An intriguing game of cat and mouse, where the roles flow back and forth. Scary, and a bit dark, but a fun ride through a traumatic situation that could have ended far worse. Unexpected!

Sweet, sad, and all too real. Rich characters in a longing dance, and in two short pages. Martin squeezes so much depth and feeling out of just a few lines of dialogue. Beautiful.

A single word, repeated, but it speaks volumes. We have all seen them, felt it, wondered what happened, and how. So, so incredibly powerful.

Heartbreaking and lyrical, so much tragedy and emotion in just a few words. Haunting.

Sick, twisted, hilarious!
