    “ Happy to have caught the Back Porch Theatre presentation of Nubs. Words sometimes cannot convey "the terrible" we humans go through --during the pandemic and always; life is often not easy. But this short play by DC Cathro has conveyed the essential in life. Sometimes we just need to focus on the positive. No matter how small and "insignificant". Bravo ! ”

    “ An absolute joy to read aloud. What a great reminder that the darker the cloud, the brighter even the smallest silver lining will seem.

    Cathro makes sure we all know what we've survived, what we're still surviving, and that so many people didn't. Yet, he avoids a bleakfest, instead painting the world in stark tones that welcome rescue... and then that rescue comes. Nothing majestic, which is what makes it so magnificent. There are simple things that save us, both from major disasters and our own seemingly minor foibles, sometimes at the exact same time. ”

    “ Nubs cuts to the heart of what is so important about lives and living them. We are so confronted with nothing but bad news on a day to day basis, that we have to find a ray in all that darkness that we can cling to. A hope that we can inflate with our own breath that will make all the bad a little OK, even for a tiny moment. Cathro has written us a new gem to bring out on those dark days, to inhale and to let it go right into each of our balloons. ”

    “ This funny monologue taps into the social anxiety the pandemic has exasperated. Also it reflects how many of us are making post-vaccination these little steps toward a sense of self-improvement and social involvement -- toward feeling like a worthy human again. A smart addition to any festival on the pandemic. ”
