  • Dane Futrell: Astroturf (10-Minute Play)

    Had the pleasure of seeing this presented at the Kennedy Center a couple days ago, and the energy within the room was palpable as the audience latched onto the well-constructed world presented by Lawler. The comedy is matched well with the heart-wrenching tensions posed by an ambiguous version of Earth stuck in its post-life stage.

  • Dane Futrell: MELT

    Quite taken with the heart and emotional toll this play offers. It has this warmness to the motivations and ideas of the characters that is brutally juxtaposed by the cold that haunts the play throughout.

  • Dane Futrell: I, Sick: An Unrequested Autobiography

    A relentlessly laugh-out-loud autobiographical piece that dutifully details the problematic flaws of the American medical system while artfully caricaturing the seemingly soulless individuals behind it.

  • Dane Futrell: Helping of Blood

    A harrowing family drama that consistently reminds the audience about restraint, loyalty, and the nebulous nature of truth and falsehood that runs deep in Southern families

  • Dane Futrell: Mutability

    Rushing's signature sense of intriguing settings, tight-knit communities, and southern aesthetics hits a stride in "Mutability". The emotional spectrum of this work is truly vast, as there are moments that could incite laughter, horror, or both simultaneously.

  • Dane Futrell: stuffed

    Dettloff has a unique ability to turn nostalgically familiar settings and characters into a site of hilarity. I would absolutely watch a collection of joan and maggie's trials and tribulations.

  • Dane Futrell: welcome to the neighborhood (monologue)

    Dettloff's dialogue is endlessly hilarious and thought-provoking as it explores the various emotions of neighborly relationships. The protagonist's rage is a ticking time bomb hidden behind a forced smile, and the playwright navigates that situation beautifully!
