    A very refreshing, meta take on a common theatre subject, this play really takes a turn and expectations get shattered as the excitement builds. I really commend the playwright for writing this. It'll be a great play for a festival.

    A heck of a horror/thriller premise, executed with stagecraft that only live theatre can provide. The story is at once simple, a man trying to sort through a mystery using obsolete technology, bringing it to light in our digital world, and yet moves into both complex questions of reality and a very human grounding on what someone would do if they were confronted with this situation. A masterful piece and I would love to see this staged somewhere.

    Spooky on the surface, and it it just gets spookier the more you delve into this play. I particularly love the twisting narrative that leaves each character in their own little reality as the play progresses. To say more would be to spoil the fun. And the ghost stories they tell could be full tales on their own. I love horror plays that are genuinely scary, and this one is right there with the best of them.

    A spooky twist on a character driven two hander. Lia Romeo carefully builds the characters, and then teases the idea of something else going on. Simple, effective, and powerful, you'd be well served having this on your stage. Hitting so many emotions in a quietly riveting play.

    I really appreciate when playwrights tackle the horror genre in a thoughtful way, and this one achieves that and more. It slowly builds, allowing you to know the characters, while keeping a general unease that you can't quite pinpoint. The autism angle is worked in really well, and I was intrigued at how this puts you in Phil's position, while also giving time to the others to bring up doubts. All in a really theatrical setting. Great work!

    Saw this read at Moving Arts' MADLab readings, and was thoroughly impressed with this piece. I love when plays show me things I never knew, while keeping up a dramatic tension that holds my attention. I highly recommend this.

    This is a really funny piece, with five well-developed characters. Deriving its humor from a dark situation, this play teases out the laughs while also making you care for those involved. It's a great show!

    A powerful piece showing the complicated situation of abortion, with all the nuances and considerations that accompany it. Playwright Grissom pulls off a delicate balance of both tender moments and no-punches-pulled drama between the two women, both with their take on the subject. A great two-hander that asks questions but provides no easy answers.

    Based on a dark, spooky lore of Americana, this play doesn't forget that the characters are the important part of theatre. Tying in legends far older than the 60s, while still grounding it during the Summer of Love and thereabouts, this is a great piece that makes you worry for the people involved, and still bringing in theatrical horror magic.

    I really liked this play. The characters are all well defined, and I was intrigued with learning their relationships to each other. Family secrets abound, with each one revealed in a clever and thought provoking way. I'd really like to see this staged.
