It is so true that, as Americans, we don't really understand what it means to live in a country that is fighting a war, to wake up and just have bombs falling in our neighborhoods. To see that sense of freedom ripped away from us. Natalia has fled the Ukraine and now fights for just the smallest bit of dignity of just trying to do the thing she loved doing in her home country. Dance and to experience that sense of exaltation she once had but sees that to dream in America can be nightmarish in and of itself.

Seems that Henry has a type and would like to continue on the road to another marriage and wife number 4, but his ex-wives might have a thing or two to say about that before he can make it down the aisle again. All I can picture is the painting The Death of Marat as I read this funny and creepy tale.

Marriage vows state that you are basically struck through the good and bad and Donnelly points out a very realistic truth in just how many marriages turn bad due to abuse, be it emotional or physical, and how the abused becomes trapped in a cycle of lies, deception and cover-ups to explain away their true fear and horror at being trapped. Just like in real life, the scars exposed in this play remain painful even at blackout because sometimes there are no real answers to be had in these situations.

This is so very funny and a very important reminder to really read up on any ballot measures when you vote as you may be voting in something that affects you greatly. Fortunately for us, we can sit back and enjoy the horror and comeuppance that this patient is getting and really dream that one day this type of human is no longer part of the playing field.

Sickles knows how to pull a punch and can do it with one page! I was taken back to my own mom’s passing and those six months I wasn’t able to talk to her on a daily basis as I had for so long due to her failing health. She never did not accept me. This is a huge reminder to for those who think it’s all about them, to let all of that go and see the true beauty of an individual for what and who they are.

I love a Parade—I’m reminded of the haunting quote by the person who watched all the people be taken off for various reasons causes and never raised their voice to complain or protest. I love a Parade is real life horror and one that could definitely be us the more we become divided against each other and feel our way is the only way. This religious right is saving up money for just this very thing. Raise your voice! Yell, don’t whisper!

How could I pass up a title like this and in the hands of Floyd-Priskorn, it's a winner all the way. I love the heart and soul in this piece and what a reminder for us all to remember, if you haven't walked in someone's shoes, then you can't really say anything disrespectful. Just like a saying I saw today in social media, someone today may just need a bit of kindness. I'm here to give this zombie princess a little of that and a friendly hug before she turns of course.

I'll never look at the Blue Screen of death the same! Dark play about suicide and a take that it so very original. Bravo!

Oh these white Christians. Who will save all of us who know better about the bill of goods religion offers and the awful price that is is paid by anyone who falls for their teachings or ideas. Gonzalez nails all that is wrong with the white Christian belief system where they think that their god is a white one who has OK'd them to think everyone not white is a piece of crap and not fit for anything except deportation, or to be shot or not clothed or fed or sheltered or killed without real remorse as God will forgive.

My partner is always asking me with group texts "didn't you read the text?" and most time I can't lie and just admit, no, or I got bored or intermediated by the number of messages and so this play had me laughing from the very start. I love the way there are two actors for each character, one for the person and the other for the text. Used in the right way, texts can simplify life, but lesson learned of the horror story that can happen when broken hearts come into play! Bravo emoji!
