THE BOTTOMING PROCESS
Two writers meet at WeWork and fall in love—or something like it. One is a famed novelist, and the other is a nobody who's mostly funny on Twitter. One is nearing middle age, and the other is flailing through their twenties. One is White, and the other is definitely Not. As they mate, date, and cohabitate, they'll grapple with issues of race, sex, power, and the model minority myth, all to find out who's really on top. 

After her divorce, a forty-something former teen mom returns to her childhood home after being estranged from her family for almost two decades. But with the collision of her return and her glamorously overbearing mother's 70th birthday, their family homestead soon explodes in an uproar of hidden truths and harbored secrets. With Santo Niño prayers, karaoke and chicken adobo, God Will Do The Rest exposes the complicated ways Filipino Americans grapple with their love and duty to family. 

MY DOG DIED; AND OTHER CONCERNS
Nick's dog died—and life decides to bite back. Between battling grief and drowning in mourning, Nick relives growing up brown, overweight, and Catholic, coming of age with a killer illness, and disorderly navigating his twenties with bipolar. But with newfound loss in his heart, he finds hidden trauma behind the memories he thought were the truth. 

A strong-willed matriarch reminisces with her grandson on all the things their histories have taught them. A 10-minute play that explores intergenerational disconnect and weighing your wars to make sure you're not fighting for nothing. 

OTHER MONOLOGUES
A collection of powerful, funny, and unapologetic monologues to give you permission to be bold, adventurous, and more you.
