In The Name Of The Mother by Holly Stefanik

“In The Name of the Mother” tells the story of two women, Rose and Claire, who stumble into a church when they have reached their lowest point, both discovering an unexpected pregnancy. As their lives are about to change forever, they experience multiple arguments and comedic moments together, as they debate the reality of motherhood, being a woman and religion. They search for answers within themselves but end up finding the signs they’ve been needing within each other.

A Breath of Fresh Air by Sam J. Rabinowitz

In this 7-minute monologue, a contented man goes to a business conference.

Miss America is Probably a Bitch by Sophia Frances

Something Bad by Uchenna Agbu

"Something Bad" is an introspective and emotionally charged play and an exploration of mental health, particularly focusing on Ara, who is constantly accompanied by two personified entities, Ophelia and Balor, who represent her intrusive thoughts and depressive tendencies, respectively.
