    “ Sometimes serendipity can come from the most unexpected places, ushered in by the most unexpected people. A short play about being open to possibilities in all their shapes and forms. Sweet! ”

    “ When the girl and boy enter I found myself yourself holding my breath and hoping that the play doesn't take a turn I wasn't prepared for. The message at the end is one that is good for us all to hear and realize. I love that last few lines and being scavengers for love. ”

    “ A great little play that twists things around and leaves you guessing. The characters come out the other side with a very satisfying conclusion. A fun play for any ten minute festival. ”
