    “ I just realized that I haven't given this a rec. yet. But I saw this live a few years ago, and my god is it funny! I love the concept and the writing is well constructed; with the double layers of the hapless dating service operators, and the singles who are definitely not ready to mingle. It's witty, funny, and worth producing! ”

    “ Who wouldn't enjoy having some confidence building as you're on a first date, especially if dating is not your thing or your confidence is low or so many other reasons that WingTips would come in very handy in this world for sure. Funny and great commentary on the world of online dating. ”

    “ Randy Hunt's play "Wingtips" explores the perils of online dating through a really unique premise. A cringe-worthy first date highlights the anxiety and awkwardness many of us have felt in that situation, but Randy Hunt cranks it up many levels to hilarious effect! I can't wait to see this performed! ”
