It's amazing how quickly a lie can become a rumor and build into a monster to destroy already fragile lives. This whole play I was wondering what the truth was. I didn't know what to believe. Therein lies the danger. When you don't know what to believe, you make snap judgements that can ruin reputations and lives. Hilda's Diner really is a mystery story set in Post WWII America. The nation's nerves are shot, but they are ready to rebuild. It's hard to know who to trust and who might be a hidden sniper. A great journey!

Wow! Hilda’s Diner is a wonderfully crafted, intense, period piece, revolving around the devastating effects of war, and family dynamics. Each scene grabs your attention, leaving you wondering which characters you can actually trust.

I spend a lot of time in this era in my mind and writing on paper. This moving and heartwarming play captures the essence of post-war America with grace and authenticity. Set in 1946, it explores the lives of those touched by war, both on the battlefield and at home. Dana Hall’s "Hilda’s Diner" play is clever and uses overlapping dialogue and a set that is both a home and a diner, creating a dynamic and intimate atmosphere. I was there throughout and enjoyed this read. Great play Dana!
