    A charming and touching “meet cute.” No playwright is better at imbuing quirky objects with deep significance than Arianna Rose, and ALL THE PEZ is no exception.

    This brief romantic comedy is so sweet, just like the pez I remember from my childhood. Arianna Rose treats us to an awkward encounter that ends up showing promising signs. I would love to see more of these two and the pez dispenser.

    A delightful short play that combines humor and heart to engage themes of identity, acceptance, and the power of unexpected connections. The play successfully balances lighthearted moments with more serious reflections on loss and self-discovery.
