    “ REALLY ADULT is very down to earth with believable, natural dialogue between the two characters. You can't help but feel sorry for Julie in her innocence as she discovers the truth about her new colleague. I enjoyed this play! ”

    “ Really Adult captures both one's regret at what may have been and one's hope for what could still be. A charming, touching slice of life that leaps off the page. ”
