Packed with a lot of macabre fun, it's stunningly theatrical and surprising. I can't wait to see this staged!

The first thing you'll notice about The American Woman is the snap and crackle of the comedic dialogue. Cooper quickly establishes characters in deft strokes and sharp lines. The piece practically glows in technicolor, but underneath the suburban sheen, there's something unsettling percolating. I love how Cooper layers a screwball comedy lightness with the desperation of four women circumscribed in an oppressive world. It makes the final, communal gestures of the play even more resonant.

A lovely mixture of tension and sweetness in this short, but impactful concoction. There's so much good energy and heartfelt emotion packed into this suspenseful 60 seconds.

What's in a name? If you're a writing team in search of monikers for your latest characters: a lot. Lawing unveils the rabbit holes, give and take, and chess moves that can be a part of creative collaboration. It's a fun journey and one audiences will enjoy taking.

Asking important questions in the most entertaining way, Personal Belief is a lot of fun.

Moving, and beautifully written, with an ending that reverberates like a perfectly-struck note. Perfect for the Gi60 festival and far beyond. Lovely.

There's a Frank Capra-like humanity that emanates from much of Matthew Weaver's work, and this one-minute dose of positivity is not different. Infinite Possibilities reminds us that our unique energies ripple across the world in unexpected ways. A great way to spend a minute!

As someone who has held vigil over a loved one, I can say that Lee animates the helplessness that's felt when you know you're saying goodbye forever. There's a raw, and plainly-expressed humanity that comes across in this brief but deeply-felt monologue. Very well done.

Delightful and punchy, and moves with the speed and wit of a classic screwball comedy. It's a refreshingly charming and positive spin on the complexities of dating. Rachel's energetic dialogue jumps off the page--a lot of fun for actors and audiences alike.

A single, unopened piece of paper holds the power to change everything. A fantastic amount of tension and character depth emerges from this elegantly-constructed monologue.
