  • Fly Me to the Moon (So I Can Fuck It)
    22 Jul. 2020
    This is one of the funniest short plays I've ever read. The title makes me giggle every time — so much that I'm mad I didn't think of it. Would be an excellent addition to any short play festival!
  • Saint Sarah

    I love this teen exorcism play. It's at once touching and campy with a nuanced discussion of coming out in a religious community. Would be so fun to stage. Highly recommend!
  • Sad Clowns: A Fable
    11 Jun. 2020
    As a comedy b*tch, this surreal play really gets to me. Clown wants to be something other than a clown, but the world won’t let him expand beyond his role (and he’s just not that good at it either). Gamal’s wit and tenderness shines through these characters as they struggle to achieve their dreams, make friendships, and find their place in the world. Highly recommend!
  • O, Little Town
    11 Feb. 2020
    A lovely, fast-paced, cheeky take on the "no room in the inn" portion of the nativity story. Barbot captures the modernity in an ancient holiday tale. A perfect addition to any holiday presentation.
  • FROZEN FLUID
    17 Dec. 2019
    A meditative and deeply lovely exploration of gender, faith, and climate change. Fly effortlessly weaves their themes with gorgeous, abstract speeches and an exciting structure. I would love to see a full production of this.
  • Square Footage
    30 May. 2018
    I saw this at the Samuel French OOB festival last year. I love anything that commits to being an honest comedy, and that's exactly what this is. Like all of Moss' work, she captures that very particular experience of being young and navigating the world of adulthood. "Square Footage" expertly discusses how living with your partner can shrink a room--and not in a good way. Until you move the furniture. Then, ah, all is better. This is easy to produce, and a sure crowd pleaser!
  • The Worst Mother in the World
    3 May. 2018
    A deeply honest look at motherhood, anxiety, and depression. The writing is truly gripping-- sweet, funny, and as I said, deeply honest. We need more stories like this, especially in today's political climate!

    Jessica Moss has a way of capturing the voice of the 20-something, with all its quirks, humor, and sincerity. An engaging story that keeps you reading, while all at once hitting speeches that make you say, "o no it me."
