  • Karina Cochran: #SquirrelLife

    This fun and hilarious play would be perfect for any short play festival. The audience will love seeing squirrels come to life, and actors will get a kick out of playing it. At its core this play is a tender reminder of how far humans have come from nature and how, though we view the world as ours, we share it with many different species.

  • Karina Cochran: Ondine's Curse

    What strikes me about this piece are the beautiful monologues, which are a gift to any actor. A very engaging short play that will leave your audience feeling both melancholy and jovial at the same time.

  • Karina Cochran: Boxed In

    This play rocks. Mora V. Harris knows how to look through the lens of what it is like to be the "other" with such grace and empathy, you can't help but get sucked in. Even if it's something as silly as miming, she does it with heart.

  • Karina Cochran: You Are What You

    This script combines modern day real life struggles with a Shakesperean level of physical comedy. The juxtapositions, doubling, and contrasting characters flow so naturally, you don't realize until later what you've just encountered. You'll never look at Pot Roast the same way again.

  • Karina Cochran: Ghost Walks into a Bar

    I read this play years ago and I still think about it all the time. It has such a mix of truly heartbreaking scenes combined with witty stand-up material. Each character (even minor ones) are given a true arch, which is hard for any writer to accomplish Highly recommend!

  • Karina Cochran: Space Girl

    I first read this play in writers workshop at Carnegie Mellon University, and I still read it just for fun on my own, because it is just that great! Hilarious, relatable, and a touch of sadness make Space Girl comedy gold and a great read.

  • Karina Cochran: We Will Not Describe the Conversation

    This play works wonders on so many levels. The exploration of darkness in the mind that Carabatsos is able to uncover is both exciting to read, and terrifying to watch. The play's structure flows seamlessly from past to present. You will get chills when you read this!
