  • Maximillian Gill: Missed Disconnections

    I love a rom-com with a good twist, and this tightly constructed, clever piece has more than one! The characters are a delight, and the cliched personal ads are hilariously fun. I was fortunate enough to see a production of this piece performed by actors who had an expert feel for the witty, breezy dialogue.

    This meet-cute does not go as an audience expects, and I love it. Siskind has written something awkward, cringey, but ultimately sweet for the digital age. There's also honest moments about the difficulty in connecting with others. I'm glad "Missed Disconnections" has such a strong production history, one that I hope will grow.

    MISSED DISCONNECTIONS is a super funny play about a meet-cute (or should I say meet-cutes?) gone horribly and hilariously awry. Samara Siskind gloriously utilizes the underutilized online forum known as "Missed Connections". I was lucky to see this one live with the Ludington Area Center for the Arts.

    Samara's scripts grab you so instantly and with such cleverness. She's a real master of the short form and this play in particular is so smart in how it constantly challenges your expectations of a sweet rom-com without descending into farce.

    Ben's dating plans go wildly awry in this delightful comedy of contemporary manners. The twists and turns and reversals of this most engaging narrative are a delight to follow. This play is most deserving of the honors it has received. I hope it sees many more productions.

    Charming and very funny ten-minute play about the current world of dating, Would be so wonderful on stage.

  • Tom Moran: Missed Disconnections

    A funny, engaging take exploring one of the more fascinating corners of Craigslist (RIP, more or less.) The shifting dynamics in the piece keep it entertaining as it speeds toward a conclusion that feels both surprising and inevitable.

    An extremely funny and engaging script! Not exactly a meet cute, but something far more layered and thought-provoking! Available to read in THE BEST TEN-MINUTE PLAYS 2023!

  • Robert Weibezahl: Missed Disconnections

    A charming comedy about looking for love in the digital age. Siskind's surprise-filled plot unfolds with expert skill, culminating in a conclusion that is both unexpected and inevitable. I read it in the "Best 10-Minute Plays 2023" anthology, where it clearly deserves to be. Brava!

  • Arianna Rose: Missed Disconnections

    A wonderfully clever and honest play about looking for love in all the produce places. Playwright Samara Siskind has crafted delightful and engaging characters who are entirely relatable. Missed Connections is extremely funny, with the added bonus of subtext about finding love in this digital era. No surprise this gem of a play is getting published and has had so many accolades already! Read and produce it some more.
