A lovely short piece about grief. Getting to have that conversation we all long for and rarely have with our parents is played out here to sweet effect. Also, lovely to see sobriety and queerness woven in without fuss, just as part of a greater narrative in a father/son relationship.

Something is brewing underneath this conversation, and it ends up being the biggest piece of news one can get. A simple neighborly conversation, the one you want to avoid turns into something much more despairing in this short play that speaks to our world we live in now.

A macabre tale told with humor and energy. Set in a Victorian-era, but using modern language, you'll come for the creepy vibe and stay for the smart examination of feminism and religious dogma. Also..this is the kind of play where the twists have twists and then there's another twist!

At turns difficult, touching, funny, and unsettling. This piece asks us to live in an uncomfortable place of not knowing..and I loved that feeling! Hope this play is added to many seasons!

Looking at rape culture in a way that is harrowing, yes, but also entertaining, Mohlman addresses so many issues that shape our world today, but the play never feels pedantic. It is an exciting read with so much heightened theatricality that I wish I could see this play in person! a wonderful play.

McVay creates a world separate enough from our own to fascinate us, but alike our own enough to be chilling. Gothic horror is the cloak around the very human question, "What would I do if given the chance to sacrifice another for my own good fortune?" I would love to see this world come to life!

If you want to drop into another world, a world where getting to have sex with that hot boy at the party is the be all and end all, stop into this world of kids who want to have sex and make art, and they're all out of art... Catherine Weingarten has built a world with a language all its own that lives deep in the awkward place between childhood and adult life.

St. James sets us on a journey which is at once fantastic and mundane. Queer people (and one queer alien god) seek connection to themselves, each other, and to the concept of time itself. It's a sweet trip into the lives of young, queer New Yorkers today.

To keep things so funny and on-point, it's to be admired. Loved this play!!

Ben F Locke's play is perfect for our times. Smart, fun, quick-paced, and telling a story about exploring the motivations of allyship! His plays should be produced!
