    I got to see and stage managed this at the Boston Theater Marathon and I’m still thinking about how funny and clever this play is. Also this is the right way to do a monologue/solo performance 10 minute play. This legitimately is a 10 minute and not only a long monologue. A great opportunity for a comic actress!

    I saw this play as part of the Boston Theater Marathon, and it was one of the funniest of the two-hour set. A Rosenstein-and-Guilderstern-type look at what one of pop culture's most famous girlfriends is worrying about offstage while her man is saveing the world onstage. Great idea, great execution.

    I had the opportunity to view this play as part of the Boston Theater Marathon XXIV. I was engrossed with Lois from start to finish with this comedic piece, but we need to get her back on a call with her therapist. I want to hear more about Lois' adventures with Peter Parker.
