If drama lies in characters making choices with high stakes, then John Minigan has certainly captured it here. Is teen Angela overreacting, making an impetuous, emotional choice based on irrational fear? Or are she and her friends making an entirely reasonable, clear-eyed assessment of the dangers and risks they face? And which values will her mother hold strongest to in making her own choice? A nauseatingly relevant drama for our times.

Powerful! "Nitty gritty... in the face of horrors that surrounds us" for sure. Bravo John Minigan for a spectacular script and a super workshop/reading on Back Porch Theater with Miranda Jonte, Stephanie Cearley and Mercedes Marcial. Minigan has created two beautifully "flawed humans" and a generational flipflop in this family of faith faced with drastic shifts in the world today and no other recourse but love. Wonderful.

A difficult dilemma to be sure, but a powerful statement on the world we live in. When 1 in 6 women have been raped and birth control is under assault, it's natural to want to take every precaution while you still can. Well done.
