Margie's Interview

    “ “It’s okay, Baby. Papa’s gonna get you some food.” This may be one of the greatest character transformation lines I have had the pleasure of reading. It is spoken during an elementary school interview, which is so zany it had me laughing out loud. I can only imagine how much fun this would be to watch onstage, especially with real props! I loved it! ”

    “ For every academic who forgets that there are some things in life that can't be learned with a book or a video, comes this sweetly funny play by Kate Danley. Playing against the stereotype of a hardened outdoorsman (or woman, in this case) a lumberjack looking to impart wisdom teaches an elementary school principal the satisfying art of ripping through wood with a chainsaw. Fast and funny, this play will bring the house down (or at least a desk). Great stuff. ”

    “ Funny. Skillfully builds from a seemingly innocuous opening to a rip-roaring conclusion that Kate Danley has cleverly thought out in her introductory note for practical performance. Nice tone of farce throughout, and should play in no more than ten minutes if that. ”
