07.04.26 - Reading this play I couldn't help but get caught up in Kyle's dilemma. He's always 2 steps behind in everything. His relationship with his ex. His relationship with his son. Basically, Kyle is treading relationship waters and is sinking fast. Paul Donnelly gives us a man who tries to do the right thing in all the wrong ways, and that couldn't be a more universal truth for all of us. We're all just treading those waters trying to keep afloat. Let's hope he catches Melissa's lifeline.

From the opening, I knew that once was going to tug at the heart strings. The struggle of the non-custodial parent is real and truly takes a lot of work to get through it successfully. NEXT YEAR, TRANSFORMERS allows us to see the promise of change that's possible.

I was instantly intrigued by the title of this piece, but it in no way prepared me for the emotional roller coaster of the next ten minutes. There were some great laughs, but more gasps and sad truths about family dynamics and just how complicated they can be. People will really relate to this piece.
