    Thank you, BRENT ALLES, for a necessary short piece about how early girls are taught they're not enough. If only every little girl and boy had someone like Uncle to help them along. Well done.

    A wonderful monologue that utilizes one place as the touchstone for a life. BRENT ALLES draws us into the character's journey and all the while, showing how we return to the place where it began. Lovely, touching and giving hope. Well done.

    What a sweet and gentle short play. When Maggie showed interest in the top, the feeling shifted from indifference to interest. Hopeful and lovely.
