This is an Edward Hopper painting come to life with seemingly simple brush strokes that really reveal great depth. You know these people, and in this short time they are brought to life. This is intimate theatre at its best.

Having just been through my first Code Red drill at my new school job, this searing monologue hits with an unforgiving punch. Not for the faint-of-heart, but it cannot be ignored.

Chris Gacinski gets us to the edge of our seats from the first beat and carries us through to the end. This character study of a driven-to-extremes man who struggles with both money and morality forced into an impossible choice and keeps the audience in suspense to the last minute.

A strong piece that comes from the heart, and in the hands of a good actor this would be a knock-out at any monologue festival. Eytan knows how to get the most out of his characters. Bravo!

Our memories can be manipulative things, and the stories we tell ourselves can be adjusted to make amends or carry hurts and pains for a very long time. This play is a deeply-felt work with vibrant characters who see their past and present at the same time; at times battling each other but also singing in harmony. This is an ambitious play that will touch you in ways you don't expect but also resonate. Bravo, Doug.

A delightful and poignant character study. The lyrical quality of the dialogue between Phil and Mel works very nicely and makes them believable, thoughtful, and fanciful. And not for nothing, it's nice to see a showcase for older actors.

A powerful study in contrasts with two people at polar opposites forced together with no rescue in sight. This would make a great addition to any short play festival.

Eytan knows how to build suspense and take what could easily be a cliche and turn it into a great tale of horror. You may think you know how it will turn out, but you can’t put it down. It’s both fun and scary: the perfect combination.

This is a cautionary tale for the over-eager and anxious writer who trusts his heart more than his head. Chris Gacinski has a poetic touch that lends itself very well to this tale, and his effective way of creating all-too-believable characters and situations will both charm and teach the reader. I look forward to seeing more from Chris; he has a bright future in the craft.

This is one of the most honest depictions of two people coming to terms with their feelings for each other that I've read in a very long time. It touches you because of the plain-spoken and realistic reactions by both Tony and Gabe, and the story is one of those moments that does not require elaboration or explanation. It just is, which is what makes it so good.
