←Recommendations of Countdown

"Countdown" is such a sweet and funny short play for two actors! The awkward glory is all too relatable, and it is expertly balanced with genuine tenderness and the comfort of being with someone you know and trust to take care of you. A simply lovely play that would absolutely delight audiences.

This is a thoroughly engaging short play with much at stake and lots of beats for two young actors to play. The interruptions add humor and suspense, and Danny’s admission to Rachel makes the awkwardness genuine. This would be great for a New Year’s Eve night of fun theatre!

"Countdown" is a funny and tremendously sweet comedy that gets all of the awkwardness and urgency of a burgeoning romantic relationship between friends just right. It's almost as if Rushing adapted "American Pie" for the stage in a simple 10-minutes. Rachel and Danny are adorable characters, and will be just as adorable when they're performed live on stage. An engaging play!

New Years Eve is one of the most loaded evenings of the year, especially for 20-somethings. Throw in an attempt for a first-time sexual encounter, nosy friends, and a lack of condoms, and you have a delightful, if brief, romantic comedy that hits all the right notes as it counts down to the inevitable, but earned, conclusion. Sweet, funny, and touching.

This is so sweet, and crafted with a light touch. Best friends Danny and Rachel are ready to re-evaluate their relationship and make love for the first time (his first ever) on New Year's Eve. But complications ensue: her nosy friend Taylor, his nosy roommate AJ, how can you not watch NYE on TV, no condoms in today's pair of pants. Blackout and a kiss just when the ball drops, and fortunately there's a CVS just two blocks away.

A sweet play with authentic dialog about two friends trying to take their relationship to the next level. We feel their urgency and frustration with the constant interruptions as the New Tear counts down. This play is a perfect inclusion for a holiday evening of shorts.
