I first met Madhuri through the Alliance/Kendeda program where I saw the world premiere of IN LOVE AND WARCRAFT, and have since fallen in love with her warm, sharply drawn characters. Her worlds are punchy, funny, and real, and I am such a fan of this play and her voice.

A heartfelt look at loneliness in the modern world with characters you can't help but love. Plus a piano covered with dildos? Who could ask for anything more?

A striking two-hander that will rock you to the core. I love these characters and I love this play. Simultaneously political and heartbreakingly personal, Cheri's writing is pure poetry. I had the pleasure of meeting Angelica during our MFA and it has been a thrill to see her well-deserved rise.

A beautiful, spare (and truly unique) examination of mixed-race love and what it means to be multiracial in America. I was struck by the poetry and power of this 3-person play; a true lovesong to the Lovings.

This play makes me laugh, cry, and question the American theatre in fresh ways with every read. The language is rich and honest; the world is wonderfully theatrical and wildly satisfying. I had the pleasure of being a Fellow with Celine at the Playwrights Realm and CANNOT wait to witness this wonder in production.

A gorgeous, poetic examination of a complicated family legacy and what it means to be a woman in the world, now and then. I had the pleasure of hearing an early reading of this tender play and had tears in my eyes!
