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!

The non-linear style of the play kept the audience listening throughout the entirety of the piece. The play makes us question the truth, and we are so hungry to know what happened up until the very end. I am so glad I got to witness its reading at the William Inge Theatre Festival!

This play was high-intensity in a low-intensity setting. You know from the beginning that something isn't quite right, and it leaves the audience at the edge of their seat. I thoroughly enjoyed every second, and I am so glad I got to see it at the William Inge Theatre Festival!

We often don't think of our elders joining Tinder, Bumble, or Facebook Dating, but Carol decides to try her hand at the apps only to be met with some of the worst dates she could've encountered -- a 21st century woman indeed! This play is filled with humor but also has a ton of heart etched in. So glad I got to witness it at the William Inge Theatre Festival!
