When a nice white PTA mom accidentally creates chaos on the town's Facebook page by creating a fundraiser to sell covid facemasks branded with the town's racist mascot, what's an unemployed ombudsman to do but call a Zoom meeting of all the offended parties? This twenty-minute one act spoofs a phenomena well-known to suburbanites: the political argument on the town's Facebook page.

Reading this play made me feel like I was eavesdropping on conversations that have gone on - and continue to - all over this country. Everyone has an opinion, everybody thinks they’re right and no one is willing to listen to another’s viewpoint, so entrenched in their own. Hartley-Kong creates realistic, knowable characters with dialogue that reflects that. An almost perfect summation of our mutual Covid nightmare. Brava!

What a wonderful play.
Perfect for everything that is currently going on.
Ms. Hartley-Kong really knows these characters and she is creative in her use of the Zoom format.
This would be a perfect play for any group that has older actors.
