This is awesome! Fast, sharp and funny dialogue that kept me laughing until the end. Actors would have so much fun with this one. I'd love to see this staged.

What fun! Are the stories true or is the mother using them to make the trip a little more attractive? We'll never know. I want to know more! Well done.

A beautiful look at how what was once considered scandalous became the norm. The love the character has for their mother shines through. Well done.

Oh, the stress of gift giving! LOU JONES clearly explains it from the cat's point of view and makes you wonder exactly how it's humans feel about the nightly gift. A fun little piece!

A naming tradition I can relate to! The family stories are often remembered differently or as in this case, denied they ever happened. A nice look at how we hold on to family folklore and make them our own.

Such fun! A new legend has been born and CHRISTOPHER SULLIVAN has delivered it to us. I love how a family story to cover certain behavior blossomed into reality for Phil and Lisa. This short play would be a welcome addition to any short play festival.

The particular fun of a family holiday filled with memories, old and new. It's wonderful to see a family that grows and yet holds on tight to each other. It would be a perfect addition to a Holiday play festival.

A powerful play that exposes the opposite side of family stories. Sometimes we repeat tales so long we forget they're about real people. Strong and important.

What fun! A family tradition is nothing to sneeze at especially one that comes with warnings. Well done!

What a powerful piece. When I began reading it, I thought, "Oh, funny" until it became less so and a true mirror of what so many of us are dealing with on a daily basis. The fear, the anger, the worry. Ave Love Hanna has written a brilliant commentary on what we're experiencing with great skill. Well done!
