Looks
Looks: Why They Matter More Than You Ever Imagined This is a name of a book that I just saw on this book service I’m with. It’s an interesting topic for a play… maybe.
unrequited love/friendship
I just had to get this out in terms of exploring unrequited love/friendship as a theme for a new play. Most likely this will be thought of into a 10-minute as it’s an artform that I’ve not only fallen in love with, but really understand the structure and elements of a play. Of course, writing…

I say potential not in a belittling or condescending way, I admire them for what they are DOING, but potential in terms of being able…
