    Sweet! I just watched Marcia Eppich-Harris's short play produced by the Indiana Ten Minute Play Festival. Sometimes we all just need a little nudge in the right direction. I laughed out loud at the teen's lack of a "thank you" at the end, but perhaps everything in life does even out because its the couple that are truly the grateful ones. Here's the link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DZB31SCLRyY

    Sometimes serendipity can come from the most unexpected places, ushered in by the most unexpected people. A short play about being open to possibilities in all their shapes and forms. Sweet!

    When the girl and boy enter I found myself yourself holding my breath and hoping that the play doesn't take a turn I wasn't prepared for. The message at the end is one that is good for us all to hear and realize. I love that last few lines and being scavengers for love.
