Took a role (Trust) with some hesitation, sight unseen. WELL. Read through the piece at first rehearsal. Suffice it to say, SO GLAD I accepted! The script is much stronger than your "typical musical", with fully-fleshed, multidimensional characters, and considering the subject matter, manages to be both uplifting and incredibly sad. If we do our jobs correctly, we're going to have to scrape the audience out of their seats at the end. Added bonus: time/juxtaposition/formatting of scenes in his script, is helping me w/issues in a play I'm writing. WELL DONE, MR GREEN, BRAVO!

AN INCOMPLETE LIST OF ALL THE THINGS I'M GOING TO MISS WHEN THE WORLD IS NOT LONGER is a script that I found engrossing and permeable. It's a play that I could visualize while reading and would be so excited to see what an artistic team and cast would create on stage. A play about death and the end of the world that truly subverts expectations. I laughed out loud, was moved emotionally and will continue to think about this beautiful work.

Reviews

Philadelphia Weekly

“
[An Incomplete List...] has the windedness of a post-rock song, and its creator, Dante Green, is reckoning with some similarly weighty subject matter — death, life after death, experimenting with hallucinogenic drugs — through a mix of dance, song, and dialogue.
