    An exquisite portrayal of teenage girls centered around a can't-look-away feat of athleticism. This play would be a treat to experience live.

    One of my favorite plays to date. I think about this piece constantly. It is timely, thought-provoking, and painfully/satisfyingly real. The characters are treated with such empathy and care, yet the play still allows them to live in the gray area that most of us exist in each day. And to top it all off, you will laugh your ass off.

    Magical, gripping, and not quite like anything else you'll ever see onstage. I love the weird and unsettling worldbuilding of this play, and Zorp has captured my heart forever.

    I'm obsessed with the heartfelt family dynamics in this play. The language sings, the characters are raw and real, and the way the lives of artists are portrayed feels so authentic and relatable.

    Laugh-out-loud funny, timely, and brilliant. This is a phenomenal two-hander that will have any audience in stitches.

    A can't-look-away kind of horror play. The striking language and world-building used in such a short timeframe is remarkable.

    A gorgeous, touching piece about the relationship between fathers and sons. Sondai has a talent for making the quietest moments in life sing onstage.

    A smart and hilarious coming-of-age play about racism, high school friend groups, and how Gen Z students are navigating an unprecedented world. As a Hunger Games fan myself, I loved the fan-fiction framing device.

    There is nothing quite as dark, lyrical, and breathtaking as an Ayibatari Owei play, and this one is no exception. I was lucky enough to see a staged production of this piece, and it sings.

    DEEPLY obsessed with this piece (and not just because Kate shares my name). Intense, gripping, and timely. It will haunt you in the best way possible.
