←Recommendations of OCCUPY HALLMARK a ten-minute play

Sharp, funny and unexpectedly sweet. This short play sneaks up on you. What starts as a drunken anti-Valentine’s protest outside a greeting card store slowly transforms into heartbreak, loneliness, and the strange ways people try to protect themselves from vulnerability. Crackles with sarcastic humor and emotional moments. The play balances absurd comedy with real tenderness. Perfect for a Valentine's Day Short Play Fest.

A heart-felt ride through loss, coping, and the holiday bullshitery that we get slammed in our faces several times a year, Occupy Hallmark perfectly balances the inherent humanity in a heart break, and what happens when hope - in whatever costume it sneaks in through - arrives again.

Old school chums find each other years later and maneuver their way to an eventual meet cute. Well crafted tale with the inevitable twist at the end. Brava

This is an adorable take on Valentine's Day that is somehow both jaded and hopeful. It's sure to make you smile -- check it out!

A fun, charming Valentine's Day encounter. The two characters are well-drawn and Seinuk does a fine job parsing out backstory and creating believable and concrete arcs for both. It's also a very fun premise with some great angry protest lines. Very appropriate for any holiday-themed festival, or an evening of plays about (fractured) romance.

What a wonderful story about finding love in the most unusual of ways: two people who abhor consumerist romance, and yet find each other in an unlikely meet-cute way (or meet-weird). A charming comedy.

When it comes to showing and receiving love, to each their own!

Cassie M. Seinuk creates a pair of souls who clearly belong together -- Salty and Moose, neither of whom care for commercial expressions of love. "Occupy Hallmark" brings the two childhood friends together after a rough (separate) evening for both. They get to be a little crass, a little mean-spirited, and maybe make a connection.

"Occupy Hallmark" us all about the roots of love: being with someone who gets you, not being with someone who gets you the biggest gifts.

Charming and funny play with lots of subtext and two extremely likable characters, even when they're shouting at pedestrians. Would love to see more of these two characters!

A hearty giggle-fest with a touch of sweet romance. There's an unreasonable amount of hilarious, quotable lines that will surely be in my vocab come valentines day. Moose and Salty are delightful as themselves and as a duo.

I want to meet these people. Great characters! Salty and Moose forever! Fantastic.
