with a charming story of love between an autistic man and a neurotypical "cool" aunt, osmundsen has crafted a complex narrative that charts the journey for an autistic teen to find their voice. at its center, this play asks the haunting question that we never seem to grow out of - is this really all life has to offer? very compelling read, highly recommend!

i've never been truly terrified by a play in the way i felt terror from simon says. moughon crafts a perfectly-paced world in which the deadliest of demands must be obeyed. easily my favorite one act play that exists.

few plays will engulf you completely and totally like everett's tryhard. the complexities of grief are expertly written with snappy dialogue and carefully crafted moments of cringe that only two old friends and an out-of-place partner could experience. the raw humanness of this play makes it a must read.

blevins's the bed trick critiques a classic shakespearean trope and calls to question what "the other woman" goes through. with perfect pacing and quick wit, this play invites you into a world where nothing is black and white. it is suspenseful, hilarious, heartbreaking, and human. highly highly recommend.
