What people are saying:

"This is an intense, naturalistic, domestic relationship drama with dimensional characters. Gretchen Suarez-Pena's 10-minute play is direct and unsparing. It's clear why it's already been produced and received workshops, and will doubtless be produced more." - S. from Lafayette, IN

"Dry Spell is a beautiful and heartbreaking play about loss and ways of coping, including forgiveness of self and others. As the characters wrestle with their own decisions, Gretchen Suarez-Pena uses metaphor in such a striking way to illustrate the storms within the house. Complex and layered, this play is such a delight to see performed!" - J. from NYC

"I had the absolute pleasure of seeing a performance of "Dry Spell" and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. This is a raw, messy, hard hitting drama that packs so much emotion into ten minutes. Suarez-Pena knows how to punch audiences in the gut and make us feel so much for these two real and vulnerable characters." C. from Utah
