Hello, playwrights! Big news—our full-length episodes are making a comeback this summer! Until then, we’re excited to bring you Thank You Five, a series of short, slice-of-life episodes. In our first segment, we’re hanging outside the Old Globe Theatre for the Powers New Voices Festival 2025 to see the staged reading of Marco Antonio Rodriguez’s adaptation of Junot Díaz’s The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao. Plus, we dive into Sarah Greenman’s phenomenal new book and, as always, send you off with a fresh writing prompt to spark your creativity. Stay tuned, and happy writing!

Episode 01 Thank You Five – Writing prompt (courtesy of Mabelle) The One Thing. If everything you owned was going to be thrown out, and you only could keep one thing, what would that one thing be? This is one thing only, not a category, so it can’t be “letters,” it would have to be one letter. Write a letter to yourself about the one thing you would keep and why.
