It doesn't matter whatever she's writing about , I always find Floyd-Priskorn's plays so witty and funny and this one is no exception. Even though she is dealing with such a topic as depression, she understands that so many times as humans we are carried back and forth between emotions that sometimes we have no control of and there are times we may end up in the Darkness, we should only look out for those who are around us who we can lean on and hopefully find our way out of that pit into a brighter path.

Oh, those who carry their Christian values on their shoulders and in their classroom. Every time I see a Christian stand up for his rights like this man or those who sit out a pride game in the MLB because it goes against their faith, I say, how so far off the mark Christians and Christianity has become--so far off the mark they should really just call it something new that perhaps is little more diabolical in nature since it's really veered off what Jesus actually had intended into a diabolical pit of hate

No one does funny like John Busser and this set of three plays about masked killers and the rules that all of them follow in these horror movies is rich gold mine of comedy in Busser hands. Great stuff and like the playwright suggests, these would make such "filler" pieces on a fright night of plays.

What a beautiful monologue. All of us have those dreams and desires to be something or be some body and for an actor I'm sure that there are so many who would have a role that was their dream role. Eric's story is one not just for those who wish to play Hamlet or be in Shakespeare or any other role on stage, Eric's monologue is for everyone who still dreams and those, we hope are for most everyone as they go through life.

Covid definitely played havoc with so many of us--our lives being upended for nearly two years and what is so wonderful about this play is that we have Shirley and her grandmother Mee-Maw thrown together and we assume it is because needs extra help and watching after, but Covid really played havoc with the generation in high school when it hit and we may never know the full extent of how those truncated years affected the youth, but in Shirley we see that damage brought to life and how wonderful that Mee-Maw can give back in helping her granddaughter.

It's good that the arrival of Jesus happened the it did because this funny play makes me think that he would have never gotten his due if he came today what with all the way the world is and everything online and right at your fingertips.

There is nothing stronger than a mother's bond with her child and if this mother also is queen, then that bond extends to her subjects, all her children, all her concern. This beautiful piece takes you through the moments after Marie Antoinette's death as she reflects back on all her life which have those golden moments, but all of those moments where she feels like she failed as a mother and as queen and sadly for her those two can never been separated even in death.

Just like the Jose Feliciano song, love can come from the most unexpected places and this beautiful monologue speaks volumes about that possibility of just being in a position where you can see it and lean in to it as Pippa does with her neighbor. As she shares her tips of how to manage a garden if you're a beginning gardener, Pippa lays bare her soul of all that comes with love including the initial joy and sadly that loss and the grief that comes from it losing it. You'll never look at gardening the same way! Or squirrels.

We all read those little blurbs in our news that on this date such and such happened. Things that were great or not so great, but just a bit of history to remind us that we have not come as far as we had hoped or thought we had. I love this play and the way Plumridge gives us two plays that happened on a particular site and how in the end, connectivity is something that we depend upon as humans and that connection from our present to the past that will carry us into our futures.
