COIN PUSHER was a stunner at Baltimore Playwright's Brew in 2024- in just a few short pages, we realize what's lost with a gambling addiction. Marshall Logan Gibbs effectively captures the voices of different generations, and both the grandmother and the granddaughter communicate in distinct languages and poignant missed messages. This play is an aching short look into what's really important in life.

This is a piece that will wrench at the heartstrings for all sorts of reasons! Marshall has created characters that you can hear as real and allowed the audience to be a fly on the wall as the innocent perspective of a girl questions 'grown-up things' while the grown-up doesn't see how their addiction is affecting their life and their relationship with their loved ones. It's a powerful and emotional piece that offers plenty of wonderful (albeit sad) moments.

MARSHALL LOGAN-GIBBS hits the nail on the head with his short play”Coin Pusher”. Unfortunately, some are addicted to gambling and don’t recognize how their obsession affects themselves and their family. We need to take stock of our priorities.
