In "Miracle and Her Minion," Scott Sickles delivers two well-drawn characters for young actors looking for juicy roles. Bud and Miracle are funny and heartbreaking as they navigate the pitfalls of unrequited love and one-sided friendship. But don't let the YA spin fool you - these characters will resonate with adult audiences as well, and both parts would be a lot of fun for adult actors looking to get back in touch with their high school selves (for better or worse.) Totally theatrical and producible.

Sickles channels heartache and heartbreak but delivers more pointed points about love of self and fellow humans.
Love the visual of Bud and Miracle both concocting their own love spells. Sickles is just as adept at writing deep YA characters as he is delving into some truly wicked characters (whose hearts are there, just usually buried DEEP), and in Miracle we are lucky enough to get a little bit of both.
I got distinct John Bellairs (very much a compliment) vibes from this piece, full of magic and every day ordinariness, which is just as magic, if not more.

A fantastic and magical piece for teens about the need for love and the inability to be vulnerable as our true selves. Well done.
