    I saw a reading of this at the cell and it was funny AF, original and captured the heartbreak and hilarity of trying to connect with a parent. This needs to be produced now! Also the babydolls onstage is so unhinged and theatrical!

    A funny, fast paced, sexy workplace comedy that sizzles with tension, identity politics, religious angst and all the fun things. Evalena has an ear for dialogue and the writing has an amazing boiling, quiet tension to it that explodes at just the right moments.

    A bright, feminine, hilarious play for the moment. Lia's satire of #wellness #media culture and our societies endless pressure on women to seem happy, hot and well adjusted at all times shines and this play is both funny AF yet also thought provoking.

    Zippy, funny, sweet and angsty in a Beckett-esque way. This contemplative comedy makes you question what we really are on earth for.

    Sexy, angsty and #nostalgia vibes. Allyson's beautiful and dreamy play will take u back to those feels from middle school HARD. Very produceable and gorgeously crafted.

    This play is fun, flashy, weird, freaky and theatrical af. SMJ pulls back the curtain on influencer culture and takes us on a surreal horror movie like journey of the anxiety of trying to seem hot and #grateful all the time. And the ending!!! It’s a stunnerrr. This play is relevant, thought provoking and demanding a production

    In this sweet and heartwarming jew friendly short play, Connolly delivers a full story within such a short amount of time. This play is funny and showing just how dynamic, rich and current jewish plays can be. Margot is a young Jewish writer to watch!!

    Andy’s play is wildly intellectual, nerdy, fully himself and jam packed with heart. I had so much fun reading this piece and you can tell this writer has alot of exciting promise and big ideas about what theater can be.

    A dreamy, poetic theater piece that captivated me from the second I started reading. Gwynn has a very unique and effortless voice and this play is a fun folkloric sexy angsty romp like listening to a good joanna newsom CD.

    A really honest and bitingly funny one man show with catchy tunes that wake you up a little. Steven really bares it all and shows how scary and dark addiction can be but at the same time his comedic and unique voice as a dramatist shines through. Exciting play!
