I love when I'm entertained and also learn something historic. It's like that extra something that elevates works to a higher level...taking us places we never knew we wanted to go and couldn't go on our own. I love how Grace's professional experience of life informs the context of her transition from this existence to her next. I love that she found herself in a position, during her transition, to share with us and did so with humor and, well, grace! Well done Jennifer!

I love it when I'm reading and forget I'm reading. The imagery provided is so vivid, if I wasn't already a vegetarian, Sapio might have spoiled hamburgers for me for quite a while. I totally went along for the burger ride and enjoyed every delicious...and disgusting...moment.

Perspective is everything. I love this piece. It shares a POV I would never have expected while reminding me that I, unlike the street, have no excuse not to take action against injustice. Bravo.

A poignant look at personal grief in the modern world. Makayla's emotions are palpable as she navigates the quick-moving waters of sibling responsibility, racism, and loss.

What a beautiful bit of emotional whimsy...lovely, sweet, and sad. I adore the way the bedtime stories mirror Jack's journey through the stages of grief to a destination of healing. There is no explanation of what happened to Mom and the story is complete and satisfying without that bit. I would love seeing this staged. I could also totally see this as a full length film. Bravo!

I had no idea where this journey of brothers was headed. I love being surprised and I was, pleasantly. Enjoyed the mixture of childhood brother dynamic with adult brother dynamic, what remains and what has changed. A cleaver bit of weaving. Really enjoyed.

With "I'LL LOVE YOU 'TIL THE COWS COME HOME", Greg Burdick delivers a powerful image of marriage, Alzheimer's, life, and death with painfully raw honesty. Peeking into the lives of this struggling couple, in the late stages of the disease and their marriage, is like stepping into a hurricane...quickly growing out of control, highly destructive, and then suddenly the calm. But the damage is done. Bravo!

A surprisingly textural journey for the reader and the main female character. The physical manifestation of transforming shame (the shame cards) into something beautiful (art) in the story mirrored the transformation of shame in the actual story (the affair) into something beautiful (having it all). I found this intricate weaving of theme by the playwright both compelling and authentic. Would love to see this one staged.
