    I had the opportunity to see this play's world premiere at Portland Center Stage. With humor and grace, Szymkowicz takes a gentle approach to developing out deeper themes of love and loss and longing, in this character-driven ensemble work. It's an accessible piece, centering on a friendly narrator who drops us in on the lives of likable townsfolk. We'll be seeing more of this play soon.

    The portrait of a town becomes the portrait of the portraitist in this poignant and joyful and exquisitely designed one-act. A deceptively simple exploration of romance in many forms, but layered with true emotional complexity. Lovely, lovely, lovely.

    There is an undercurrent of longing that permeates this play. It drew me in immediately and I couldn't leave. It has some elements of Under Milkwood - knowing what the characters say and then knowing their thoughts. And when there was silence, it spoke volumes. Love-lost, new-as-spring-love, fractured-love, wishful love, terrified-love, forever-love are so poignantly explored, audiences will relate, care and be moved. It's a beautiful ensemble piece.

    A lovely, dreamlike, wistful play. Taking place in the spaces between- the silences between people, the view between flashes, the memory of tastes and touches and the scent of an individual- Kodachrome plays with and evokes the evanescence of life itself. I hope to see it in production!

    This is a beautifully-written dream of a play I loved from the opening monologue: worthy of comparison to OUR TOWN and ideal for companies that want to take a risk and do something that'll touch every audience member.
