"The Black Angel" is a fun take on how tempting fate can come back to bite you. This would go really well as part of a Halloween short play festival.

This dark comedy is a reminder of how little we know about each other (and our violent tendencies). Brenton Kniess sets up the play with delicacy only to have the twist slap us in the face.

This campy delight will have audiences entertained from beginning to end!

This exploration of grief is multifaceted and will leaves audience to ponder how they too have kept themselves from feeling what's only natural.

This is such an original and beautifully written take on what it's like to live with neurodivergence. Its a timely reminder that everyone has different demons they fight (literally in this case) and all it takes is someone who is patient with us to defeat them.

"Family Visitation" is a punch to the gut (and a good history lesson for those who have yet to learn their queer history). The conflict between these two characters is subtle yet has a strong impact, making this piece an uncomfortable experience in the best way possible.

This play expresses many emotions in a cathartic way through two autistic individuals (who are fully fleshed out), giving us a fresh perspective on grief. As an autistic person, I don't see many nuanced representations of autism, and Jordan Elizabeth Henry writes them with clarity.

Ken Love explores a multitude of layers within this play: race, class, and gender. Love expertly weaves through them all to tell a compelling modern Black Lives Matter story while maintaining a level of theatricality that will entice audiences.

This feel-good play is a crowd pleaser with multiples angles that fit together! There are so many fun opportunities for actors in this play. Any theater company would easily find their audiences falling in love (no pun intended) with it.

This play was such a joy to read! This felt like Christopher Durang had adapted a Greek mythology for a modern audience. Great character work and the staging presents many funny moments. Audiences would eat this up!
