TEN MINUTE: Julie would love to have a great first day working the Customer Service desk at Target, but maybe not as much as flirting with Frank, the employee assigned to train her. As the two discuss a possible date their personal lives become more and more clear, which leads to awkward territory.

    This is a coming of age piece about Julie and a cautionary tale about Frank. RACHEL BUBLITZ creates believable characters that have full lives and real flaws apparent in just a limited number of pages. A rollercoaster of emotions for both the reader and audiences. I should have known that big drama happens in the Customer Service department at Target.

    This could be the beginning of a beautiful friendship or a total train wreck. These two people find themselves working the Customer Service desk as the result of difficult life circumstances. Both are credible and to a degree sympathetic. And yet their connection doesn't feel quite right. This is a richly textured and nuanced piece.

    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!
