Dave Osmundsen: The Back Porch Test

A young woman feeds her boyfriend some less-than-savory food and drink, which he manages to tolerate... but there’s a twist that I don’t dare spoil! In addition to well-drawn characters and zippy dialogue, this play is a surprisingly poignant piece about the role of honesty in courtship. A thoroughly delightful, highly amusing, and very sweet one-act play.
