    “ I saw a production of this play in Santa Fe, New Mexico recently and was intrigued by the plot and the mix of characters. The four adult characters were all doing life assessment and not entirely liking what they saw. But they forged ahead, mistakes and all. It was a pleasure to see a sold-out show and a crowd absorbed in the play and hanging on to every word. ”
  • What Mom Said by Andrew Mayo

    “ I saw this play recently at FUSION in Albuquerque and to me it was the star of the show. The gentle (and sometimes not so gentle) back and forth of the two sisters was entertaining and funny. The audience enjoyed the play and laughed heartily. I had that pleasant experience where I felt that the playwright was totally in control of the material and I wouldn't want to make a single change. ”

    “ I saw this play at an eight-play festival in New Mexico and for me it was the hit of the festival.

    The story is told at a slant and I didn't realize until the very end exactly what was being said and done.

    A stylized, gripping, well written play with a message with a punch at the end. ”
  • Headed Out by R. W. Schneider

    “ This is a delightful play if you enjoy dark comedy and intellectual banter (which I do). Act Two (the alternative) is completely different from Act One, but has some clever continuity of dialog and action. I'm not sure which one I prefer, though both are plausible and understandable. This is an "ideas" play but the characters seem like real, somewhat complex people. I would love to see this play performed. ”

    “ This play is funny. The dialog is skillfully written to make the most of the gentle humor and overt humor and sheer amusement on almost every page. I enjoyed all the different ways it entertained me. I got the impression the playwright was enjoying herself when she wrote this. I would love to see it produced. ”
  • In This House by Deirdre Girard
    23 Jan. 2022
    “ This is a compelling play that takes us to surprising places. The four characters are all strongly developed and they manage to draw us in even when they're doing things that are not admirable. The South Boston setting is vivid and believable. At the end, I was cheering all four of them on. ”
  • Sound Mind by Dana Hall

    “ This monologue is a good melding of comedy and melodrama, showing the character's personality and spunk in the end game: Sam is promising to be a handful even in the afterlife. ”
  • "I love parties" by Kate Cortesi

    “ I adored this monologue in the Hear Me Out Monologue Competition 2021--so much so that I wanted to read it and adore it some more. (And it's a pleasure to look at it on the page--its layout is different. Even the stage directions were fun to read.)

    Bravo for fully capturing a character and giving us her life story in just a few pages! ”
  • FINDING HELP by Marj O'Neill-Butler

    “ I love how this play takes three characters and makes us care for them and believe them and see multiple facets in them. An endearing play. ”
  • Dusk at Nine Joy Street by Ellen Davis Sullivan
    23 Feb. 2021
    “ This is an excellent play, with the story unfolding nicely, gradually revealing more details about the three grief-stricken people. The characters are vivid and poignant. The play keeps you guessing until the very end, and the overtones linger. ”
