    A masterful pro-abortion piece that will make your heart rate spike. This play does a great job at immersing you in the world and making you feel just as helpless as Kate. I would highly recommend this play to anyone that is interested in women's bodily autonomy, body horror, and Vivaldi.
    I had the pleasure of seeing this play on its feet at the 2026 Mid-America Theatre Conference!

    "Safety that requires someone else being afraid isn't safety at all."
    A delightfully poignant play that makes the reader/viewer grapple with the question -- am I complicit without intentionally being complicit? This play is perfect for those who love Greek theatre, political commentary, and zines.
    I had the privilege of seeing this play at the 2026 Mid-America Theatre Conference! Brava, Jen!

    Sarah is a very fun main character to follow for these few pages, I love how ridiculous she is. Such a fun and poignant short piece about our tech infused, self-idolizing world.

    Much like Orwell's "Animal Farm," this ten-minute has a lot to say in such few pages. The ending packs a heavy punch that will make you sit back in your seat and exhale. I commend Cooley for his quick wit, as well as his ability to tie such dark matter to cute little pigs.

    A romp of a play that's sure to bring entertainment to people of all ages, and perfect for those that enjoy coming-of-age comedies. I was lucky enough to see this play be born from the ground up, and what a long way it's come! Great play for young adults to perform.

    A transformative way to show the power of labels and how they affect us. Very creative script to display such a theme. So glad I got to see this play read at the William Inge Theatre Festival!

    Nothing ignites the creative side of my brain more than a play about a true story! "Sputnik" sent me down a spiral of constant Googling after I saw its reading at the William Inge Theatre Festival. Highly recommend to anyone who enjoys history, wrestling, and/or civil rights. A delightful ten-minute play that I can see expanding into a full length!

    I feel rather #Blessed for getting the chance to see this play read at the William Inge Theatre Festival. Such a fun and heartfelt piece about how we want our lives to appear to others. Really makes you want to take a step back and examine how we all portray our lives online.

    Nothing hits harder for me than a story about the relationship between a parent and their child. It was a great piece tackling grief in a modern and interesting way, and I commend Mabey for their use of captivating dialogue and a strong sense of character. Loved hearing its reading at the William Inge Theatre Festival!
