Recommendations of At First Sight

  • Lolly Ward: At First Sight

    A thoroughly heart-wrenching and heartwarming play that takes you through every nervous step toward confessing your true feelings. I got to see this at the William Inge Festival, and the audience was right there with it, bursting into laughter and wiping away tears.

  • Samara Siskind: At First Sight

    This gentle and utterly endearing play is a true lesson in patience, perseverance, and the power of a moment. Vince Melocchi’s characters are so well drawn, I felt like I was eavesdropping on a long-overdue reunion that culminated in a monologue that cut straight to my heart. So intimate. So romantic. So sentimental. Thank you Vince, and Facebook.*

  • Rachel Zake: At First Sight

    This piece is honest, relatable and incredibly well-written and presented. We've all had that moment of wondering "what if" and "what is that one person up to today?". Rekindled connections and secrets confessed allow this piece to tug at our heartstrings and allow us to to find joy and laughter in what we all recognize in ourselves.

  • Paul Smith: At First Sight

    This is an utterly charming, heart-warming and very suddenly a very emotional play. Vince Melocchi effortlessly takes us into a meeting of a couple who, after many years, have re-connected on Zoom - it is a meeting of souls who maybe should have always been together. Uncomplicated, honest and beautiful writing. I heartily recommend it. Beautiful.
