    RACHEL CARNES had my head spinning, laughing out loud, and wondering if sanity had left the universe. “Binders” is a sci-fi parody with a crew of what-can-you-say out-of-wack weird altogether wonderfully absurd characters. I love comedy and the actors in this play will have a grand time performing as the audience laughs from beginning to end. Fun and more fun!

    This quirky spoof on Sci-Fi is such a fun ride! So many lines made me laugh out loud, and yet the story fits right into our well-founded fears of climate change and life on a planet where Covid is not under control. Minimal set and maximum impact of dialog. Hop on a star ship to Mars! It’s all in the binders.

    So much to love about this play! An absurdist, sci-fi play, with three people leaving earth for Mars. Hilarious dialog with line free line so funny that you want to pause to think about them, but you also can’t wait to see what these characters will say next. Underneath this dialog are true feelings of loss, fear, and despair. Well done.
