    How often are we driven to seek greater meaning in random encounters? In "A Dave with Destiny," the discovery of a past connection puts the audience in Dave's shoes. Is this fate ... or just coincidence? An involving, fast-moving story.

    Saw a production of this play and it was a delight. A "man meets women" story. They find something in common and then whammy, a real turn about. Good short piece.

    A DAVE WITH DESTINY is an imaginatively quirky play that tells a sweet story in only five minutes! Great work to Ken Preuss.
