←Recommendations of Hope

This one minute gem by Hovanesian breathes new life into this word and leaves us with that feeling that maybe it's possible for the world to change and we move it into a new direction where we actually care as human beings

I remember this piece from the Boston 2020 One Minute Play Festival, it stood out to me amongst the plethora of faced paced short plays. Now reading on the page, in this time in our world, I find the play even more potent, hopeful, and eloquent. When a 1 minute play makes you feel this much, you know it's exceptional.

Our Company Member Lindsay Eagle directed this perfect little 1-minute play for the 9th Annual Boston One-Minute Play Festival in January 2020, and it was an absolute pleasure to work on. Poetic but still very accessible, clear, concise, and deeply inspiring. Actors loved performing it and audiences were pretty universally moved by it. Highly recommended.

Spare and precise. And there's just enough tension and conflict to make this play even more soothing.

A poem, really, and with all the layers of meaning in every word. Savor it.

Just perfect. Read, read again. Read a third time. Thank you.

I read this tonight because I guess the universe was telling me I needed to read this tonight.

Beautiful. Necessary. And BEAUTIFUL!

A lovely and, well, hopeful one-minute play! Well done, Greg Hovanesian!

A wonderful, uplifting one minute treasure of a play!

I got to see this very short play produced at the One Minute Play Festival and it made me cry then. Somehow, it feels even more necessary right now (yup, I cried a second time upon reading.) Poetic and beautiful.
