  • A Walkable Feast

    What a wonderful play! I love the developing relationship between student in need of reassurance and initially reluctant teacher. Wang gives so much to actors--the dialogue is sharp, funny and rich with subtext and her characters are utterly convincing. A really beautiful and hopeful play about connection.
  • 38 Cookies, 39 Reasons [a monologue]

    Powerful and theatrical play, and so creative! And with so much to say. I would love to see this performed.
  • Major Serious Fucking Diet (a Mother's Day monologue)
    29 Sep. 2021
    The title alone made me want to read this, but it's much more than its title as it really wonderfully and theatrically conveys some of the absurdities of dieting and some of the sad absurdities of living through a pandemic. Great twists in this too!
  • To Change a Tampon: How It Is, and How It Should Be

    Hilarious, gutsy and SO full of truth. Hageman's plays never fail to amaze me. If you haven't yet read her work, you really must.
  • Phony on a Twig

    Delightful, witty and totally convincing short play with a leaf, a bud and a flower as characters. I got to hear it in a recent reading and it was enormous fun.

    A charming and funny short play with great female characters and a wonderful twist. I had the pleasure of seeing it performed in a recent reading and it was so much fun!
  • Remember Me?

    Terrific monologue spoken, wonderfully and surprisingly, by an ankle.
  • TAP. TAP. TAP.

    Wonderfully spooky and sly short play that's also very funny (I laughed out loud). Would be wonderful for Halloween or any time!
  • THEATRE IS ...
    22 Sep. 2021
    Such a moving and inspiring one-minute play. I'm looking forward to seeing it performed in Gi60 this year!

    A very funny short play in which Laura just cannot get some peace in her own home because everyone who loves her assumes she needs constant companionship (which couldn't be further from the truth). Would be lots of fun to perform and to watch.
