    Arianna Rose is not only a gifted playwright but a gifted composer too, and this wonderfully unique and hilarious ten-minute musical about a frustrated yet cunning pet painter in Cuba combines Rose's many skills to terrific effect. I loved listening to Rose's music samples with lyrics by Chandra McClelland (found under "Supporting Materials"). This would be so much fun to see on stage!
