  • Daniel Prillaman: JOIN THE MOVEMENT by Rachael Carnes
    “

    I've never been part of a MLM but I honestly can't imagine Carnes' interpretation is too far off, right down to the blood and sacrifices, but hey...we all have to do a little dirty work to feel this good! This is a hilarious and relentless little short that artists (I feel costumers in particular) and audiences alike will have a field day with, and Alison's struggle with staying or leaving is a gem to watch as the others slowly let more and more of their true nature slip.

    This play will resonate deeply with anyone who has ever received a Facebook message from some high school acquaintance that starts "Hey Hun, I've got an AMAZING opportunity for you!"
    Carnes builds a completely believable world that starts with annoying wine-drinking MLM women and spirals to the inevitable conclusion of ritual sacrifice. It's totally hilarious and brilliant. Read while wearing your favorite pair of leggings. #blessed

    This is a hilarious play! Carnes is so intentional and clear in her rhythms, giving actors and audience alike an abundance of clues. Join the Movement sweeps you up in a whirlwind, the same way character Alison is swept up by her peers. A cheeky short play about leggings, this piece lampoons consumerism and is a fine study on the infectiousness of group-think.

    A hilarious comedy where the leggings are the secret magic of living one's best life and eternal youth. Drink it in. Very funny!

    This is the leggings play to end all leggings plays. I have a leggings play, too, that also involves dressing and undressing on stage, but it's nowhere near as uproarious as this. I agree with Asher Wyndham's assessment of Carnes' unique voice and comic excellence. Bravo!

    A goofy, smart spoof on conformity and group-thinking and behavior in our age of capitalism and commercialism -- a subject that Carnes seems to be exploring. If you give me 1000 scripts without names I'd be able to find the script by Carnes. A singular voice in American comic playwriting. I look forward to an evening of short plays by Carnes! Don't miss out on this exciting playwright -- read her now, connect with her, follow her development, PRODUCE HER WORK.
