They are also ideal for classroom use and individual inspiration. The plays contained here are a love letter to non-binary joy, and they can’t wait to celebrate with you.

She knows she can do it! … Kinda. Set on the eve of the great hurricane of 1938, in the dying years of the Gilded Age, Girl on a White Elephant is a comedy about hope, class, and searching for a place to belong.
