“ What an incredibly fun and sharp ten-minute play! Smart and clever and just a joy to read. Austgen has created characters that would be a dream for any actor to play.
Can't wait to see it on stage! ”

“ Austgen's voice is witty and sharp and this ten-minute play is perfectly crafted, just like the crafty scheme of one of the coworkers. This play is a great example of human comedy--giving us three very real people to, at different times, root for and boo and cheer and groan. People are funny--but Austgen treats them and all their confusion with love and compassion. ”

“ How often do you relate to three diverse characters? (If you do, you probably have spent time in a cubicle.) All three have a deep want/need and as a carrot is dangled in front of them, they must re-examine what they’re wishing for. A great short satire on our workaday world. ”
