“ The dreams of an actor, longing to play a role that continually eludes him, never the bride, not even the bridesmaid, or even an usher, but the guy at the wedding who is charge of making the punch. Oh how I relate to this role and how I relate to this monologue. This monologue, the space of minutes, details the hopes and dreams, both shattered and ever present of every actor with a story to tell, of the role that escapes them. ”

“ Matthew Weaver riffs on Busty Keaton's Seven Chances with this YA farce. Equal parts poignant, silly, thought provoking, and laugh out loud funny. There's fourth wall breaking and weird commercials. . Highly recommend this piece for a youth centered community theater, with some great roles for slightly older actors. ”

“ It is sometimes hard to deal with a plethora of issues in a good ten-minute play. Usually we find one theme and narrow in with laser like precision, but what playwright William Goodwin has done is taken one big issue (the opioid crisis) and used it as a catalyst to focus on the very real horror of a family trying to reconnect. The symbolism of the dead spots while on the phone is a powerful and striking metaphor. ”

“ A long time ago, I worked in evangelical Christian Radio, pressing play on recorded screeds from the men like James Dobson and women like Phyllis Schlafly. I had no idea who Phyllis Schlafly was, except an older lady who argued against things I didn't think were so bad. I moved away, both in a religious sense and a political one, from those days, but the Eagle Forum was often on my mind. This short play though, enlightened me, to Ms Schlafly's life in a way that was unexpected, enlightening, horrifying, entertaining, and funny. Highly recommended. ”
