This was just terrific. A "meet cute" before a catastrophic storm? Sure, why not? Eating "phallic snacks" to begin the bonding? Of course! I absolutely loved the back and forth between the characters here. The piece is tremendously funny, of course, but there's depth here as well. And, believe it or not, honest-to-god romance! Aly's one of the few writers to make me imagine having a romantic interlude with hurricane-force winds closing in and be absolutely thrilled with the prospect. Would love to see this on stage at some point!

Wow! I absolutely fell in love! Aly Kantor brings us a lovely, sweet short of two people from extreme ends of the adventure spectrum finding middle-ground. ANY PORT IN A STORM pleases from the start with characters so relatable I was talking to my computer screen trying to add to their conversation (or maybe I have a problem?). I particularly like the phrase "It feels like I’ve got a treasure in my pocket, and the pocket’s got a hole, and I can’t stop thinking about the treasure, or the hole." Would love to see this staged!

It’s amazing how much we learn about these two characters and how quickly we care about them in this sweet, charming romantic comedy from Aly Kantor. So it’s really not surprising how quickly things develop between them as the storm develops outside. At first the two seem like polar opposites, but as they reveal their fears the more connected they become. I have no doubt audiences will fall in love with these two and be rooting for them!
