    What's not said says more than what is said in this brief but powerful piece. If you want a lesson in subtext, this is the play to read/see.

    The language, the nuance of rodeo lore, and even the dialect pull you in. This short-play makes it's point clear but drives doubt at every turn. Well written, stylized and worth a read.

    Mary Sue Price beautifully builds tension in "That Midnight Rodeo;" an audience will immediately feel something unspoken is hanging heavy in the air.

    Along with the tension, Price shares Cindy's history and her and Bo's current situation are shared, all of which impacts a decision that Cindy needs to make. Strong writing from Price here.
