    This ten minute play by John Patrick Bray just evokes pure heart. The characters are well drawn and executed beautifully. The dynamic between DeDee and Amelia is honest and genuine. This play is sincere, respectful, and heartfelt. Really enjoyed this!

    What an incredible play. Both from an artistic standpoint and as an empowerment play. You find yourself rooting for both Amelia and DeeDee and Calvin and their parents and everyone that's anyone to these two characters. The genius is your left to figure out who the antagonist is in this play. I think it's me and my prejudices, but to someone else reading/seeing this show it might be someone different. I love this show and highly recommend it.

    This is a very sweet snapshot of siblings being there for one another, in the dark of night and mind. Children listen, and in this case, will act to keep the darkness away in the best ways they know how. Absolutely charming.
