←Recommendations of Tidal (formerly Renovations)

Villanueva skillfully moves the audience from relative lightness to true existential dread in this haunting little piece. The repetition here is moving. Theatre artists of all stripes have a lot to sink their teeth into with this one.

A beautiful piece about the struggle to let go and move on from the materialistic things we've long collected and invested ourselves in. A reflection on what is truly important that is ripe for analysis and perfect for production.

A fantastic metaphor for letting go of garbage that we don't need. Wonderfully imaginative, a marvelous seaside piece of theatre!

It would be a treat to watch this short play for young audiences. There are great opportunities for physical action, visual design and sound design. The characters have clear voices and choices, making them even more interesting for actors.

The story also would greatly interest its target audience, as it could be seen as an adventure, an environmentally conscious tale, and more. It could be a real conversation starter.

Crabs are wonderful and make for fun roles, and the science and environmental information in this piece will definitely get audiences asking more.

This Theatre for Social Change play for young audiences is quirky and cute, no doubt. It could also make a difference for kids who live near shores, encourage them to stand up and give voice in support of crabs and other sea creatures -- all of Earth's creatures on land and in water. The smallest actions, like not taking shells or trashing the shores, can make a big difference! From a design perspective, this play would be a fun challenge -- sound and lighting effects of waves, shell-costumes, oversized human trash bigger than than the human actors. Highly recommended!

This play explores timeless and timely themes for all audiences, with humor, empathy and a flair for character. I so enjoy the visuals here and imagine how easily viewers would connect to and respond to this work. A perfect contribution to any festival of plays on our relationship to the environment and its future. Lovely.

Every shorewalker needs to see this play. What starts out as a quirky, physical comedy between sea creatures becomes very high stakes as the tide rolls in. A beautiful piece for young audiences about the care of our planet. It manages to show us the results of our actions without one word of preaching.

Solid comedy with great characterization. A treat for all ages and it has a message. Villanueva is definitely in her element. Love the ending.
