    I have always thought of menus as items you just want to get out of the way when dining so you can move on to pleasant conversation or a refreshing cocktail. Well, now I really think this way, and I was eerily reminded by Cindi Samson-Braff that choices in life can be intimidating and stressful, despite the benefit of having the power to make one. Choices about death and preparing for it are a part of life, and this short play brilliantly highlights this grim fact. Very thought-provoking and original!

    I don't think I've read a show like this! I think it was amazing how Cindi manage to take the thought of death and make it in something interesting. What if you had the choice of how you would let this earth? In my eyes, that is BRILLIANT! Great Job Cindi. I love the humor of this story as well as the overall story and theme behind it!

    A short concisely written piece that answers a few questions in a short amount of time. And then asks an even bigger one. I love theater that makes the reader and audience think. And this piece certainly does that. Well done.
