The Winning Plays:

3rd Place: Safe House by Kendall Grenolds

At a safe house in New Mexico, people come and go as they cross state lines to get reproductive care. When a new arrival’s past is revealed, the entire house is jeopardized as a brutal question is asked: how much responsibility must we take for laws we didn’t pass?

2nd Place: All the Things She Never Said by Sophie Goldstein

In present day Los Angeles, sisters Lupita and Mari are cleaning out the house of their recently deceased mother, Monse. As they go through boxes, they discover that she was part of the Madrigal 10. A group of Latina women who sued the LA County Medical Center back in 1978 for committing forced sterilization.

1st Place: Getting Attached by A.M. Palson

Max has traveled for miles to see the octopuses at a small marine lab in Florida, only to find that one of the octopuses has died. Sara, a lab technician, tries to explain that it’s natural and beautiful for female octopuses to die after laying their eggs. Max isn’t buying it. Together, the duo navigates questions of motherhood, biology, and gender through their mutual love and fascination with octopuses. Above all, Getting Attached explores feelings of biological betrayal and the human need for care.
