10/15/24: We love a ten minute play with a musical number! Guardian To Be is as farcical as it is poignant, with well drawn characters and a heartfelt sibling relationship at its center. I appreciated the ways that this play builds in strangeness until arriving at its satisfying, grounded conclusion. Kudos to Julie Zaffarano for this treat of a short!

What's crazy about this play is that Julie Zaffarano captures with such precision what every single parent goes through when selecting a guardian for their children.
OK, maybe not, but the difficult conversation would be much more fun if it had the singing, dancing and unfettered, delightful chaos that "Guardian To Be" contains. This is a fun and heartwarming play perfect for any short-play festival.

There are some strange extremes some people will go to in order to rest assured that their kids will be in good hands after they shuffle off this screwy coil. Julie Zaffarano has come up with a doozy: a potential guardian with an odd sense of place, humor and... well, their musical skills need work. I got to share this in a reading and it was hard not to laugh at the most inappropriate time. Fast-paced, witty, and even touching in all the right ways. (10/12/24)
