←Recommendations of Tipping

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!

What happens when two complete opposites connect? MAGIC in the capable hands of JILLIAN BLEVINS. TIPPING reminds audiences of the layers within each human, no matter what the outside presents. The banter, the pacing, and characters... all perfection. This short play is a gift for actors.

"Tipping" is a powerful play that delves into the complexities of human emotion and the struggle for self-discovery. The play examines the theme of despair and the struggle to cope with life's challenges. It also explores the impact of unemployment on one's sense of self-worth and purpose. Additionally, the narrative touches on the need for release, expressed through one character’s unconventional approach to dealing with misery. Blevins hints at the complexity of human connection and the potential for empathy even in unexpected circumstances.

Blevins shows real compassion and insight here. Liked the twist at the end and the connection which seemed elusive. Congratulations.

Wow! I hate to use a cliche, but this is a fantastic play!

I love how the premise of this play is introduced and I love how we get to know these two characters. Both are engaging and it's interesting how their roles switch near the end. A lot of laughs and well-written roles for men and/or women. Well done!

"big Misery Fart" is inspired indeed. This play has me thinking about the song from Damn Yankees, "Two Lost Souls." There are a good many people who can relate to the two inhabitants of this play's world. Some of the most important things in life can happen when you're waiting for someone else to do their job.

Our mismatched bar denizens make for great interplay, and their final moments are truly heartfelt.

Superb bar story. Love the character names, their hinged and unhinged interaction (cursing vs. non-cursing), the cool unexpected tipping point - aka the law of accretion, and the miraculous resolution. When Badass trespasses into sacred bartender space, the play begins to soar. Blevins shows again that she’s a wily psychological dramatist. In some ways TIPPING feels like a full length condensed down and fast-forwarded to its most perfectly dive-bar moment. Can’t wait to read the companion pieces that go with this fine play.
