We all have these dreams we dream for our children and there are those dreams and events that we think of being a part in someway and that there will always be more time for those times to arrive and come. Sadly that's not always the case. This beautiful play touches on a mother and daughter sharing a big day together and sharing a vision of what may be right now.

This is another story that on the surface appears innocent - a daughter trying on wedding gowns for her mom. But then as the layers are pulled off it's about rituals and dying and what it means to be a woman. My playwriting students adored it.

What an exceptionally moving micro play! Great roles in the stoic mother, the guilt ridden daughter and the lovely sales clerk. They are all so true to life and left me feeling teary eyed at the beauty that surrounds us. This is a must read and a must produce.

Life can be so fleeting. This beautiful short play addresses the joy of experiencing something you might not get to see later on. There is both joy and sorrow in this piece, just like in life. Three great female roles, too.

Perfect. Just perfect.

Weibezahl creates a pitch-perfect (there's that word again) lightness of tone to balance the twists and turns of this journey. There are some lovely surprises that play your heartstrings without tugging on them.

The roles are gifts for female actors and the story provides a great challenge and opportunity for costume designers.

Elegant, celebratory, with a subtle veil and a bright sheen... just like the perfect wedding dress.

This gentle yet surprisingly powerful short play does it exactly right by drawing us in for this afternoon of shopping with mother and daughter until we know why they're looking at wedding gowns. Robert Weibezahl's natural dialogue and genuine affection for these people makes it all the more meaningful to the very end.

Wiebezahl's play, GOWN, is the kind of play always in fashion. Why? It's a beautiful play. Our expectations of this sensitive, exciting moment in many women's lives will fulfill everything -- and will leave you crying. The play will touch your heart and that is what plays are meant to do.

This is such a beautiful play! It just completely floors me. I'm just a puddle now remembering how hard it was to shop for my wedding gown. Wow. What a gift this is! Great work!

Wow, just a quietly devastating little play. The twist is unexpected and yet completely plausible, and the ending, while sad, still retains hope and optimism. The playwright deftly uses all these elements to craft a beautiful little story. Bravo!

I highly recommend “Gown”. ROBERT WEIBEZAHL has written a heartwarming play, which will bring a tear to your eye and lump in your throat. A girl’s wedding is one of the most important days to her - but also to her mother. This play is so touching. I was so moved by the ending. The audience will be in tears by the ending! BRAVO!
