Such heartbreak expressed so succinctly and beautifully. Hageman brings to life in such a short moment that deep seated will to keep going through loss and pain and tragedy, when everything says that we as humans wouldn't be able to.

What fun! I always enjoy plays or stories that build from other material and this one does not disappoint, and it made me laugh in a very good way!

Sticks in a pin to the addictive nature that social media plays for us all! Well played.

I had the honor of hearing this play during the "Nevertheless, She Persisted" readings here in Seattle this month. Powerful and so heartfelt. One the deserves to be seen and heard by all.

I had the honor of seeing this powerful and oh so tragic monologue during the "Nevertheless, She Persisted" readings here in Seattle this month. One that is not easily forgotten!

I had the pleasure of seeing this charmer of a play during the "Nevertheless, She Persisted" readings here in Seattle. This was such a powerful piece. Funny and spot on in its revelations that secrets can only harm when kept, and sometimes can be a funny reveal when pulled out of each of us. Live your own life and pursue your own dreams regardless of what the rest of the world tell you.

A comedic horror play about AI and the addictive nature of social media as only Carnes could bring to life. This cautionary tale makes me want to log out of all my online accounts and turn off the notifications right now (actually those are already off and it was one of those most satisfying actions taken in quite some time). I learn a lot about the art of playwriting whenever I read a new play by Carnes , and this one was no different.

Fast paced and just truly scary. You can sense Deray's love of the horror genre in this piece and he paces it so well. Half the fun in any horror play, or movie, is the set up and we get a great one with Cooper's tale that may or may not be true, but it sets the tone for the rest of the play. It would be great to see this live with all the sound effects and lighting.

Great terrifying short play by Deray which left me shaken as I finished it. We all want answers for everything, and this play doesn't give them which is what frightens us most--the unknown and unnamed which is out there just beyond our door on any given day.

Whenever I read any play by Wyndham, I feel I have another piece of the real world handed to me on a plate. The thing I feel he does so brilliantly is getting into the heads of these characters one by one and presenting such a palette of personalities of these so called "every day" people, but each and every one one of them someone you've seen or walked past but hardly ever noticed. Mike is one of these people, and I'm sure I've seen him eating the breakfast buffet at some motel along the highway.
