Featuring
​
May Oskan (she/they)
Sewing Lessons
A teenage loser spins her wheels in a Massachusetts backwater with her terrible best friend. When tragedy strikes, will she get her life together or keep making the same mistakes?
Randall Denham (he/him)
Smitty
The story of learning what racial bigotry is from my babysitter; A convicted murderer working on a chain gang in the Humboldt Redwoods State Park of Richardson's Grove.
Benjie Lasseau (she/her)
Hiding and Seeking
Finding myself through my mask
I started as a Visual Artist but Theater gave me a voice. Hearing my classmates’ stories has helped me be more open minded. Joyful is an amazing guiding force.
Sye Gratz (they/them)
Audition for Belonging
Sye was given very clear instructions as they exited the womb. They just had to be a perfectly normal little girl. No…better yet make them a doll! No wait, how about, child STAR!? Lost beneath all the pressure to conform and perform, would their truest self be able to reappear?
​
silvi alcivar (she/her)
snow white (and the part of the story she doesn't know when or how to say)
a snow white tale akin to the disney version, plus the brother's grimm, carried by truth and hummingbird wings.
Daisy Crane (she/her)
Modern Moral Mania
Daisy Crane graduated with a Master’s in Peace and Justice in May of 2020. Bright-eyed and full of wonder, she entered a burning, shelter-in place world with no jobs, barely any coral reefs, and an onslaught of social upheaval that hasn’t stopped. Now that she’s bidding farewell to her 20s and turning 30, she’s got a lot to say.
Robyn DeGuzman (she/they)
Hi, I am a Happy American!
A Filipina in the New World is stupefied that she has grown weary of October - which is Filipino American History Month! What weird things can she take up to distract herself from her colonial wound?
