“ A hilarious comedy a same sex couple sharing the news with their parents that they'll be having a baby. They're determined to assign gender roles and it's frustrating, but also so funny. The line in response to Kate's career was just fantastic. A story of family bonding and moving forward. Well done! ”

“ Warm and funny, with a hopeful message, this play takes on what is a divisive issue for some families and shows a way forward. Never underestimate the of ability of grandchildren to awaken the angels of our better nature. ”

“ Hoke develops this play with equal measures heart and head — It's redolent with warmth and humor, the balance of safety and the chiding, teasing familiarity of family — while being just so beautifully constructed and polished. As a reader, this is a satisfying, meaty play, the perfect blend of drama and comedy, and I'm sure it would be an exciting playground for a creative team, full of bold dynamics and timely conversation. ”
