A tight little short play that works on both horror and drama. Theatre works best when it reveals character, and this piece does just that. It even works in a bit of humor, but above all, it works as a haunted piece. Theatres do have a spooky charm. Great work!

A very imaginative piece that is simple in its execution, but complex in its impact. Playwright Prillaman sets up two characters with time to get to know them, and literally plunges a third into the fragile dynamic. Even in this extreme environment, we often find that change and disruption to our routines to be the biggest obstacle.

In the playwright's note, Walker writes that she is "tired of the outrage." This play remarkably reflects that point of view. It's easy to write an anti or pro-gun screed that masquerades as a play. This play isn't that. It provides no easy answers. No comfort. No manufactured outrage. What it does provide is real characters. With their points of view. And their flaws that go deeper than the surface issue. Are guns the problem? Walker doesn't claim to have that answer in her work. Instead, she asks questions, and asks us to ask questions. What a challenging work!

Horror takes on many forms; it's not just jump scares and actors in costume. Playwright Prillaman explores the creeping horror that can manifest in unlikely places, such as expectant motherhood. Expertly written, where you get to know the main character before the rug is pulled out from under you. That is the real achievement of this piece, and for a theatre with this sensibility, they will find this will be a memorable production.

The dialogue appears meandering, but that's the point. The subtext flows in and out through what they say and don't say, that the ending suddenly becomes crystal clear in the end. This is a great piece for actors and for an audience to decipher and come to the same epiphany that I did. Great work!

A very intriguing play that takes the concept of dating "rituals" to its extreme. A sci-fi play that doesn't need fancy effects, just a strong sense of theme and a fantastic what-if scenario. And it's really funny!

A charming little play that reminds us that sometimes you have to look past the first impression. Would be a very funny edition to a ten minute play festival.

Fast paced, always engaging, and showing hidden depth in every line, this is a great piece! Allegorical in theme, but also providing characters that are flawed and relatable. The mystery of what exactly is going on will keep you on the edge of your seat, and the conclusion will stay with you long after the curtain falls.

Lots of twists and turns in this one. Playing with three different time periods and multiple mysteries, the playwright expertly weaves a tale that keeps you guessing where it is going and where it will end up. Also shows that ghosts come in many forms.

A lively comedy with some deep undertones. You can tell the playwright had a lot of fun writing it, and yet I'm also struck by its conscientious themes. This is a very interesting piece, and I encourage others to read it.
