    An extremely witty and well-written piece that is purely original and heavily inspired; a perfect piece for younger actors and fun-seeking audiences! I loved every second!

    A perfect blend of Buffy-like fun and cozy mystery.

    If I had one word to describe this play it would be: FUN. Luckily, I have more. The perfect cure for someone who wants to escape from the ails in the world. There is a large cast but each character has their own unique quirks that make them stand out. And if you want a play with great woman characters, this play is chock full of em.

    As the play says “ If we don’t subvert all those tired old tropes they’ll just keep playing out again and again to no one’s benefit.” Great job.

    Completely in love with this piece. It’s fun and more than a bit campy but if I were still teaching, it would definitely be on my to-do list. Plays aimed at high school kids seem to either be too immature or far to angst-filled much of the time, but this one is a perfect balance of the camp and real characters that will challenge young actors!

    This play excites me so much I might BURST!!! Having worked in high school and middle school theatre education I have long bemoaned the lack of quality scripts for young actors where they get to play characters their own age. Along comes this hilarious, whimsical play with a large cast of mostly females (which rocks since they are the vast majority of members of school theatre programs) to save the day!!! Not only are there a bunch of roles for girls but they are 3 dimensional characters!!! Will be recommending to all my theatre educator friends.

    You have to love a play where the football players are the victims and the cheerleaders are their saviors. There's a lot of silliness combined with teen-speak, snarky dialogue that perfectly captures the teen spirit. I loved the constant element of surprise that awaited me with every page turn. Bublitz deftly steers away from the jock/mean girl stereotype that often peppers these plays and offers us some real teens: warts and all. The play is a wonderful tin-foil romp through the stars. Teen performers and young audiences will love this.
