“
An absolutely delightful comedy full of word-play and physical humor that highlights why listening is perhaps the most important part of a relationship. I liked how Saari displayed Charles' subtle (and not intentional!) misogyny, showing that society really does teach men some harmful things-- but that they can be unlearned. A very positive play overall with lovely, bubbly, and realistic characters. ”

This is such a fun and different premise. And the fact it takes place in one of my favorite places on earth, Marquette, I just had to read it! The ritual scene will be so hilarious and I can just imagine the fun staging to introduce Deb's character. I would love to play that part, for sure. But the most important thing is the message that men should listen more. And I hope this is encouragement to those who need to hear it most. ”

“
This play feels very grown-up, in the best possible way. Despite its slightly fantastical premise, it feels like a play about real people trying to grow and change and be better, that gets at some pretty relatable themes. It's easy to blame our circumstances on some outside force like a witch's curse, but we can't truly change unless we own up to our flaws and try to learn from them. Also, as a native Michigander (from the lower peninsula), I'm a sucker for any play set in my home state! ”
