←Recommendations of Where the Fireworks Come From

This play pulls on my heartstrings. I want nothing but the best for these two. Amazing work.

I really loved this piece! Not only because of the beautiful and relatable queer story, but because the way the characters spoke so uniquely. They weren't stereotypes or copies of what most authors write for teenagers. They were raw and real.

This play was simply beautiful due to the honesty and vulnerability that was expressed from real, 3-dimensional characters who are at a cross roads when it comes to the next chapter of their lives. I loved reading this and could easily feel the love, pain, and confusion radiating through each moment of dialogue. It encapsulated the nuances of figuring out sexuality, growing up in a small towns with broader plans, and what to do while trying to bridge the two together

This story felt like a very lovely, honest depiction of two small town kids on the precipice of a huge change. Figuring out your sexuality is hard, especially as teenager in a small town with big plans on the horizon that do not involve introspection. This play left me feeling a little lighter and a little more hopeful, and it has a gorgeous visual metaphor that is worth waiting for.

a lovely story of what it's like to be young, queer, and at a major crossroads in life. beautiful, real dialogue with distinct, three dimensional characters. I 100% recommend!

lovely

I love this play, it really captures the energy, spirit (and butterflies) of what it feels like to be Queer at a certain age. Excellent dialogue, and wonderful storytelling. Thank you, Michael!

A heartbreaking exchange where the fireworks in question are fired from the characters themselves. Big changes are coming for Tony, and now Gabe offers him a connection that is more than just friendship. Tony is being pulled in multiple directions and the play makes us wonder which way he'll ultimately go. The dialogue is pitch perfect and the stakes are more important by play's end. A wonderful piece.

Beautifully written three-dimensional characters! I loved how both Tony and Gabe seemed so raw in their connection and their eventual vulnerability with one another really jumped off the page at me. Would highly recommend!!

I loved the vulnerability of Tony in contrast to Gabe's suppression. The characters were both so well thought out. I really enjoyed reading this.
