←Recommendations of True Colors

Theatre Zoom meetings have very much become part of our lives over the past two years and Julie has captured that brilliantly. It got me thinking almost nostalgically about the start of the pandemic when the panic buying was all over the news. The dialogue is great as you get to watch the characters go back and forth, each chiming their two cents worth in about the pandemic and what to do. The dialogue then whisks through an escalation of tense argument before nestling into a lovely ending. I think this would make a piece to watch and reflect on.

TRUE COLORS indeed. Julie's play takes us on a ride, in the early days of the Pandemic when so much was uncertain but hoarding was a certain kind of reality. The journey this play takes the characters and the reader is one that resonates deeply for me, and what the author has to say at the end via the actions of Morgan makes me love this ten-minute gem of a play.

A perfect encapsulation of the razors edge we've all walked at "work" this year, between crushing banality and morbid dread. What does it mean when we actually start to miss offices? Zaffarano populates this early-pandemic farce with delightful characters, finding humor in human foibles and trapping in amber the fleeting weirdness of it all. I hope it's something we'll look back on one day? Maybe sooner than later? Asking for a friend... A wry piece of Zoom theatre or an in-person slice of history, when theatres reopen.

A hilarious comedy where it all comes out in the middle of a quarantine work meeting in the most entertaining way! Well done!

I enjoy reading Corona pieces from various stages of the pandemic because it's wild to see what our behaviors and thoughts were like just 3 months ago, 2 months ago. It's uncomfortable to read because it's like a reflection of a world not so long ago but also funny because we're stupid in different ways each month.

Oh how quick we are to jump to conclusions under adverse conditions. But this look at friends and colleagues turning on each other while playing musical chairs is both telling and hilarious. Would love to see this staged with rear projections of the screens dropping off one by one. A great visual for a decidedly static (at first) telling.

Adversity can bring out the best and the worst in all of us. Julie Zaffarano puts that axiom to good use in this ten-minute play that shows proves it so well and with a perfect twist at the end. And it's a perfect play to be done both live and on Zoom.

Julie Zaffarano's "True Colors," a Coronavirus/ZOOM based play with more than a nod to "King Lear" and his dysfunctional family's property squabbles, is terrifically nasty, theatrically bitchy fun, with a wonderful twist at the end.
