“
I love the unusual and darkly comic plot of this ten-minute play and its strong female characters. Would be a terrific piece for female actors to perform, ”

- Rachael Carnes:28 Jan. 2019“ What a refreshingly breezy read! Fun and confident, light-hearted and spacious and featuring something we don't see enough of: Excellent roles for teen girls! It is not surprising that this delightful play is among the most-recommended short plays on NPX. It would be such fun to produce, and is engaging, and appropriate, for younger performers. Perfect for a short play festival, or a drama class showcase.
” - Gemma Cooper-Novack:14 Jan. 2019“ The combination of the somewhat absurd scenario and the strong, realistically portrayed sisterly relationship makes this play hilarious and oddly moving! Also a great idea for school festivals. ”
- Lainie Vansant:5 Oct. 2018“ Code-switching, cat-saving, and bologna on a fishing pole - this play has it all. It's light and fun, has good roles for Latina women, and leaves the audience/reader wanting more. ”
- Scott Haan:11 May. 2018“ A wonderful little gem. In a perfect world, this is exactly the kind of play that NPX will help bring to people's attention, and hopefully cause it to be seen, heard, and performed, because it deserves it. Take just a few minutes to read it and you'll know exactly what I mean. Maybe enjoy some bologna while you read. ”
- Emily Hageman:9 May. 2018“ Absolutely adorable--and absolutely poignant. There is so much character and story leaping from these tight ten pages. The sisters are completely believable and sweet and the story is a charming anecdote that is likely to leave audiences beaming, chuckling, and shaking their heads. Wonderful roles for young Latina actresses and a beautifully executed little piece. A great example of a ten minute play well done. ”
- Jocelyn Wiebe:2 May. 2018“ This play is delightful and full of heart. It packs great characters, engaging story, vivid relationships, and a hilarious perception shift into a short play. It has been a perfect addition to our Notes from the Outpost play reading series at Outpost Repertory Theatre in Lubbock, Texas. ”
- Rachel Bublitz:27 Apr. 2018“ I loved every minute of reading this play! McBurnette-Andronicos captures the craze of childhood, and how much putting kids together to their own devices can make that craze that much crazier. I love the dynamics between the three sisters, and how well that was made clear, I am one of three girls and the specifics were spot on. Great short play. ”
- Claudia Haas:26 Apr. 2018“ This is just pure delight from start to finish. It’s at all times quirky and unexpected as we watch three sisters try to help their cat - wishing Putsy had at least eaten the evidence after “the kill.” A parrot who can recite novenas, a how-to primer on catching a cat with bologna on a stick plus three terrific roles for young Latina actresses awaits you. Read it, produce it, buy a ticket to it. ”
- Greg Burdick:4 Feb. 2018“ Just the concept behind McBurnette-Andronicos’ 10-minute “miracle play” is perfect enough, (a dead parrot, a seemingly guilty cat on the lam, and three sisters attempting to undo the carnage.) But she packs the story with four hilarious and memorable characters and high theatricality, making it a genuine gift for young Latina performers. I was smiling during the whole read!
