    The capacity to do good in this world, even for those who perform miracles, is finite. Aly Kantor's powerful "Tearjerker" shows us that even those with extraordinary abilities have their limits. It's a good reminder to the rest of us.
    Audiences would love this thought-provoking and funny play about what it means to help.

    Kantor presents us with a long line of not-so-patient pain and suffering and a room full of onion peels. As this short, powerful piece develops, Kantor skillfully heightens our curiosity and captures the utter saturation of "The One" who could heal it all...

    Every now and then, a piece like this comes along and we think "I wish I had thought of that!" Aly Kantor hits all the right notes in this ten minute slice of super hero life and makes us wonder if we, too, would have the same issue that Nicky has. Would we end up feeling and living the same way? Some good smiles and some good fodder for deeper thought. Nice
