    Bluestein-Lyons' time travel holiday comedy is sweet in all the right ways. I especially like that the characters who time travel to the past realize they don't feel the need to guide the others in order to affect their future.

    Great title, great situation! The characters in Hilary Bluestein-Lyons' short play spring to life effortlessly. And anyone who has had the experience of trying to travel in a snowstorm will be instantly on tenterhooks to see how this drama turns out. There are just enough twists and turns to keep audiences guessing, and the ending is sweet and satisfying. What a trip!

    For me, this charming script is all about the intersection of a phenomenal setting and lovable characters whose relationships pop off the page! I am obsessed with the brilliant trick the playwright plays, luring us into the timeless liminality of a dated roadside diner and slowly, slowly revealing the nature of this tricksy, charming setting! The message at the center of the piece is heartwarming, leaving me with warm, fuzzy feelings...and affection for my younger self. A sneaky sci-fi delight!
