    This one packs quite a punch. At first we are witnessing a devoted daughter using humor as a shield as she tends to her comatose father. But as her monologue continues, POW, we learn the true nature of her devotion. Powerful work and a great showcase for an actor to demonstrate their range.

    Wow. This starts out as such a sad holiday monologue. But as it goes on, we see the strength and quiet rage Angie has for her "Pop." The last line is killer and this would be a killer monologue to witness. Eerily powerful.

    While this piece has elements of humerous dialogue you can't avoid the brilliantly crafted dark undertone that exists between this girl and her father. The piece is very well balanced and I think the characters is very well created. It would make a powerful audition piece or a great monologue for an evening of short pieces. Like the character in this piece, the play should not be underestimated!
