Bad Neighbors

10-MINUTE: The five members of the HOA board in Westdale are here to help protect your property values and field your anonymous complaints about Paul's short-shorts. Follow the deed restrictions and we'll all get along just fine—unless you're from Avondale. We hate those guys.

    Oh my God, I laughed my head off reading this. Like an exercise in herding kittens in a waterfall, no one stays on task in this hilarious 10-minute play by Ave Love Hanna. And we are rewarded with a blazing fast look at a Home Owner's Association Board that disintegrates into chaos. Like a train wreck you can't look away from, this play should be seen by everyone!

    Absolutely laugh out loud HILARIOUS! An HOA meeting devolves into chaos with characters and conflicts anyone who has ever stepped foot in a planned community will viscerally recognize. The dialog clips along at a breakneck pace and it is just funny, funny, FUNNY!! Do this show! Your audience will be roaring!
