The play definitely touched a chord in me about a parents' beliefs and a child's own which may not align with the parents in the slightest and this was so true for me growing up. The beautiful thing about this play is the path that is taken by Carly and Lil in finding that understanding that a blessing doesn't have to be anything but that, and a mother's love for her daughter something that is always and will forever be regardless of that daughter's feelings about the unknown are vastly different.

A nightmare scenario that could be oh so real even here in our own country. I love the tension that builds as Casper talks to their partner about the new life that the'll be leading as essentially outlaw after their citizanship is revoked for being gay. For me, this used to sound so far-fetched that this could be a possibility but after jan 6 anything that sounds like a nightmare has become just a possibility that it could happen and just like Casper and their partner, wiped away from existence with the stroke of a pen.

Such a beautiful play about pride and the about the privileged lives some others live in this world, but not Beneatha just because she's black and everyone who realizes that privilege is a real thing gets the difference of if in her situation she had been white. Would those cops have treated her so poorly. Powerful monologue and such a call-out to so many of the wrongs in the world that should be fixed.

This monologue says so much about the way of the world in it's short time span that you feel you've absorb so much more wisdom about the wrongs of the world that Eileen has faced and yet overcome to create her successful business. A world that treated women like second class citizens that never gave them credit they deserved (still learning to do better on that one) and how much just a word of praise can mean to a child who never received any. Beautiful monologue.

Funny monologue and saw this beautifully performed on Back Porch Theater by Miranda Jonte. it says so much about so many things and situations in the brief time, and you feel so much for the Val in the situation she finds her self stuck in.

We all grew up thinking we should be the princess or prince and sometimes there are those of us who who don't want to see the spotlight or have any attention drawn to us and are content with just the lot we have drawn in life or on the stage. Fan C Cuts will make you laugh and rethink the classic fairy tales in a way that is so refreshing.

Great line--"At home I would say he stinks." Funny monologue about renewing life once again when you thought the road you were one derails you for a strange detour. Romantic and funny. I saw this performed excellently on Talking Horse Monologues, Season 4.

Saw this performed beautifully as part to the Talking Horse Monologues Season 4. First dates are always such a hard thing to even prepare yourself for and when it comes to opening up about yourself under those harsh settings, it can be eye-opening but also enlightening about the true wonder that a person can give to a friendship or relationship when they just they can honest about themselves with you and you in turn do the same thing.

The myth of the vampire goes back to the beginning of time and the power struggle between thrall and vampire just as long. Sickles weaves a powerful and oh so haunting tale of two such beings that is as much about vampirism as it is a reelection of the abusive relationships that still permeate our world oh too often. That last scene will have everyone holding their breaths as the lights fade around Quinn, wanting to move from your seats and steer her off stage to a better exit.

Glad this was the featured play of the day for me. A story about the attraction between two people and when there is meteor shower it makes into one great story of love and magic.
