    Fun, funny, and above all authentic and true to the characters. The writing absolutely sparkles. Would love to produce this one day.

    A fun play about dating revenge for the men who stand up our friends! The bond of sisterhood triumphs over any app!

    Who doesn't love smart, nerdy young women who are 1. allowed to be sexual beings and, 2. about to exact revenge on a jerk!? This play is full of emotionally-fueled, authentic dialogue that speaks to the experience of being a woman in today's weird, half-virtual dating pool. Best of all, at the core of this story is sisterhood and female friendship - without nastiness or competition. These are the kinds of roles that girls want to play - and the kind of roles they deserve! This short is full of laugh-out-loud lines that lead us to a satisfying conclusion! Wonderful!
