Like all dark comedies, this play carries humor and heart together without missing a beat. The characters are distinct and relatable, and the twists and turns are unexpected.

This short play had me captivated from the jump. Samantha Oty writes these two characters with very little detail on the page yet gives plenty of room for the audience to understand who they are based on behavior. This is a well-written short play that needs to be produced!

Samantha Oty's modern retelling of one of Henry VIII's many women is freshly comedic yet still carries the tragedy a situation like Anne's calls for.

Shakir has developed a play where reality and fantasy walk alongside each other hand-in-hand. The story goes from a thriller to supernatural horror through various little details that add on to the tension without giving it all away.

Amari Shakir writes this play poetically without ever letting go of the characters. The pacing of the play has a distinct musicality to it that you can't help but be drawn into it.

Arthur M. Jolly writes with precision to the point where you feel elated one moment and heartbroken the next. A talented writer knows how to balance this dichotomy, and Arthur does it well here.

This is an adorable short play with plenty of material to work off of for two lucky actresses!

"Sweeping with the Enemy" is like MMA meets Dance Moms in the best way possible! This would be a treat to see live!

"I Guess This Is Growing Up" is a somber yet humorous play about what happens when we grow up and what we wish we can do to help our younger selves turn out better than we could ever dream of.

"My Daughter's a Demon!" combines horror and comedy and transforms it into a fresh depiction of one of horror's famous tropes.
