    Like a mini time capsule of 2020, the big picture of what was going on is background to what Emily McClain wants us to focus on, the budding relationship between a delivery man and a young woman customer. The connection between them builds over the course of the play in a very realistic yet hopeful manner culminating in a porch stoop dinner for two as masks come down and expectations come up. It's really lovely.

    There was so much to dislike about the pandemic: People getting sick and many dying; social distancing and wearing masks; loneliness and frustration; fear and anxiety. We will all remember it. “DoorDashed” by EMILY MCCLAIN is a play about dealing with COVID-19. The ending is sweet.

    A play that beautifully and subtly shows an evolving friendship and more, through some very tough times. Both inspirational and suspenseful in its own quiet ways, this is a remarkable achievement.
