“ This brilliant play, which I saw twice at the 2019 Samuel French Off-Off Broadway Play Festival, explores the gamut of emotions experienced by four characters on a tandem skydive. Each character reacts with varying levels of dread and exhilaration, based upon what they know and how they approach life. The characters, because of the sensory deprivation provided by the situation, are together yet alone. And there is a profound emotional impact at the core of this play. It is also completely hilarious. Hirsch is excellent at hooking his audience with laughter, then hitting them with existential dread. I loved it. ”

“ What a roller coaster ride of a short play! It has incredible movement, force, the pacing is unbelievable, a total blast for actors, a director, and designers. I love plays that push the boundaries of what we think can live on stage, and Hirsch swings for the fences with this one. Also, not for nothing, it made me laugh and cry. ”

“ An unexpected comedy that's heartfelt and funny, physical and theatrical, poetic and highly imaginative. If you hear anyone diss ten-minute plays as just simple entertainment, not as important as full-lengths, as nothing but forgettable skits, then let them read this incredible play by Hirsch. ”

“ A sensational read. I can only imagine this short play would also be sensational in production, too, as it would be so much fun for directors, actors, and audiences.

Hirsch reaches sky-high levels in developing character (not just one, but four!), utilizing visuals and action, and creating life-altering consequences in "A small breach in protocol at Big Rick's Rockin' Skydive Academy." ”
