“
Wonderfully fun and imaginative (and smart!) one-minute play that would be a total joy to perform, as well as to see. ”

- Well, No, But(t) by4 Jun. 2019“ Perfectly captures in its single minute what it's like to be a young teenaged girl today and how essential it is for parents to teach their kids how to love themselves and discount other people's judgements. Hageman's dialogue for young people is always spot on and moving, and I love the father-daughter relationship here. A marvel of a one-minute play. ”
- Age Before Beauty by29 May. 2019“ Utterly fabulous two-hander for female actors including a terrific role for an older woman. Hilarious and wonderfully surprising, but what I love most about Hageman's work is how absolutely convincingly real her characters feel and sound (even when they're clearly not real, like Paulette in this play) to the point at which I'm always a little surprised after finishing a Hageman script that the characters I've just spent time with and cared about are not actual living people. I'd love to see this play produced. ”
- The Skunk (a one-minute play) by20 May. 2019“ Beautiful, haunting, and heartbreaking. I'm in awe of this play, which does so much in only one minute. Wow. ”
- FAWZIE: A HOTEL CHAMBERMAID MONOLOGUE by19 May. 2019“ Another moving and powerful monologue from one of our best monologue-writers. ”
- Oxygen Thief by19 May. 2019“ A brave and very truthful monologue. I love how Hageman gives voice to women like this one who aren't often heard. This would be so powerful in performance and needs to be heard. ”
- ABSORBENCY by18 May. 2019“ Such a fun play and with so much heart. Incredible that anyone can write such a moving play about paper towels but Mullen can, and does! ”
- A Cry Headache and a Strong Taste for Bacon by9 May. 2019“ I love the rage of this character and the speed and intensity of her monologue, which would be terrific to hear and to perform. ”
- Growl by7 May. 2019“ A taut, suspenseful two-hander with a phenomenal role for an older female actor. 82-year-old Iranian poet Simin Behbahani must figure out how to survive a sudden interrogation without compromising her political beliefs or her art. I love the back-and-forth between the characters and the delightfully unexpected ending. Would love to see this produced. ”
- SOMETIMES THE SUN SETS TWICE by7 May. 2019“ Harrowing monologue about domestic abuse with a painful ending. A very powerful piece of theater. ”
