    I had the joy of seeing this play in a staged reading at KCACTF. It is a beautiful, imaginative story, with a ton of heart, about the joys and struggles of motherhood. It has amazing roles for women and actors of color, and would be a treat for a designer as well! Give it a read!

  • Mora V. Harris: The Alternate Possibilities of Our Past and Future History in Particular Regard to the Identification of the Eastern Puma and the Corps of Discovery by Amy "Aviv" Gijsbers van Wijk

    With a title like that, how can you not want to read this play? Amy has created a fascinating futuristic world full of visual (and auditory) surprises and some truly great comedic moments. I especially love the bro-tastic take on the historical figures of Lewis and Clark. A really unique theatrical experience!

    It's impossible to talk about this play without using food-related descriptors! Sweet, juicy, and incredibly satisfying!

  • Mora V. Harris: A Is For Apron by Leviticus Jelks III

    This is a beautiful and uplifting story written with rich and surprising language that is a real treat to hear spoken aloud. This unique laundry-filled purgatory is populated with three strong, funny, emotionally complex women with stories and voices that make you lean in in your seat!

  • Mora V. Harris: Seven Minutes in Heaven (a seven minute play) by Eugenie Carabatsos
    “

    This is an excellent opportunity for teenage actors, and a sweet and poignant play. The characters are lovable warts and all, and refreshingly three dimensional when high schoolers are so often forced into stereotypes. I highly recommend!

  • Mora V. Harris: Two (a short play) by Eugenie Carabatsos
    “

    Eugenie Carabatsos is a master at forcing characters to be present with each other in a way that doesn't require words (although the language that is there is gorgeous) and TWO is no exception. This play is a treat for actors and audiences alike.

  • Mora V. Harris: Stupid Ghost by Savannah Reich
    “

    This is a truly exciting piece of theater about the desire to really be seen by someone. It's a very funny show, and has moments of real sweetness and heartache in the midst of horror and melodrama. Lovable characters spiral wildly out of control in an entertaining and brutal way that is fascinating to witness.

    This play is funny, sad, and occasionally uncomfortable in the best way. A delightful slow burn!

    This is a hilarious, smart comedy with an imaginative premise and characters that feel like friends. I would love to see these hamsters and humans on stage!

  • Mora V. Harris: Rabbits by Karina Jutzi
    “

    This play takes you on an emotional journey from the humorous thought exercise of "What if instead of dying we turned into rabbits?" all the way to a heartbreakingly specific and painful experience of loss. Cochran's writing is full of vivid imagery and surprising moments of humor and pathos that you never see coming. Be prepared to weep!
