I know you are looking also for actor input here, and who they are gravitating towards and reading these days. Some of the playwrights I would recommend are Tracy Letts, Pearl Cleage, Lynn Nottage, Katori Hall
I’m gonna read those. I actually remember classmates in college workshopping scenes from The Shape of Things and Reasons to be Pretty but I’ve never read the whole play
What plays/playwrights are y’all reading? Preferably plays written after 2005

I’ve worn out Lynn Nottage and Katori Hall for audition monologues lol I’ll look into Tracy Letts and Pearl Cleage next!
@Jessica Kelly Also look at Alan Ball
I’m sure you’ve already read this, but I just reread “The Shape of Things” by Neil LaBute and really enjoyed it!
Yes! Anything Neil Labutte. Good one Courtney. Reasons to be Pretty also by him is great.
LOVED that one!
