As an actor and writer who prefers a two hander or smaller plays to larger cast plays, Logan Butcher’s “The Sandwich Artists” is another example that reminds me why I have that preference. Butcher makes it so easy to connect to these characters because the play operates using an intimate sense of comedy and romance due to the lack of extra characters. I grew up in Katy, Texas, a suburb just outside of Houston, and had a Subway down the street so I automatically felt endeared to the setting. A great story with lots of heart and very sentimental.

Portions of Logan Butcher's charming two-hander will call to mind Annie Baker's "The Flick," as the larger themes of his play are craftily nestled inside the drudgery of working at a fast food restaurant. Co-workers Christine and Tristan both traverse sweeping character arcs in sixty brisk minutes. The dialogue charges, whether it's conversational, confrontational, or achingly tender and romantic. I had the good fortune to see the play produced virtually by the members of "The Quarantine Series," based in Houston, Texas. Their actors embrace and maximize the capabilities of the Zoom platform, paving an admirable road for distance theatre.
