    The language, the nuance of rodeo lore, and even the dialect pull you in. This short-play makes it's point clear but drives doubt at every turn. Well written, stylized and worth a read.

    Mary Sue Price beautifully builds tension in "That Midnight Rodeo;" an audience will immediately feel something unspoken is hanging heavy in the air.

    Along with the tension, Price shares Cindy's history and her and Bo's current situation are shared, all of which impacts a decision that Cindy needs to make. Strong writing from Price here.

    I absolutely loved the fact that the author used a funny stasis for such a heavy topic. I think that was really the best part of the play because it really allowed the readers to understand the point that the author was trying to make. It was really effective, it’s like the play was a trojan horse. highly rec this one
