←Recommendations of Bridge

This piece is an emotional roller-coaster if there ever was one! The characters are relatable and their stories feel real. Even down to the twist at the end. Though it isn't what you expect, it's the ending you want to see. Tibbets does a beautiful job of handing some very touchy and heavy topics with grace and leaves room for the audience to make their own opinions on the events the characters go through. A very powerful play that I would love to see performed one day.

Noah walks a very fine line with "Bridge," exploring the heavy topic of mental health with grace and expertise. His choice to examine the isolation that comes with severe mental health struggles while finding connection at the same time made me pause was a moving one, leaving me to recollect on the hard emotions that come not only with needing and receiving help, but with being the one giving it, as well. "Bridge" serves as a reminder of the little things we can do to help each other, even if it just means listening.

In ‘Bridge,’ Noah Tibbett sensitively explores the devastating impact of mental health struggles and suicidal thoughts. The play captures the tumultuous emotional states of its characters while offering a glimmer of hope amidst despair. A small but significant gesture of care and connection between Flint and Ember provides a poignant reminder that even in the darkest times, there can be moments of understanding and compassion.

Chance encounters, or maybe not so left to chance. The structure that Tibbetts provides here is a strong bridge indeed for us to witness to the stories of these two individuals. The empathy shown is strong and convincing. The scenario feels raw and authentic. Sometimes we may find ourselves at these crossroads, staring into the abyss, and one wonders, will there be someone there for us at those times? This play examines this in a thoughtful and moving manner.
