    I was cast as Maggie for a directing project at my school. The play is sweet, lighthearted, hilarious, and heartbreaking. It was such a joy to play this character and live in this scene. I would highly recommend this short play because the of way it discusses death - charming, yet so very deep.

    Hilarious and heartbreaking. Dagney Kerr successfully writes about two dogs navigating their friendship at the end of one's life. The characters are well-drawn and real, the dialogue is fresh, witty and just beautiful.
