    JULLIAN BLEVINS’ short play, “Tipping”, is a wonderful depiction of how two strangers, who at first find their personalities so different, discover something about themselves and each other that makes them “in line” with each other.

    Loved this. So much good conversation between two characters who continue to surprise you with the twists and turns that occur. Nothing like a little existential rom-com for the soul. Totally enjoyed it!

    TIPPING is filled with conflict. Pain. Humor. Blevins takes these two opposing characters and then turns the tables on us. Actors could make a feast out of these complex roles leaving us more than satisfied. So well done!
