I saw this read at Valdez Theatre Conference and was stunned! I've always loved ghost stories and this one felt like it was designed for me. Diving into a world with the same mystical/legendary quality Interview With A Vampire was thrilling and I so hope to see this in full production!

I saw this piece at Valdez Theatre Conference and loved the dichotomy between the two time periods. The exploration of queerness, relationships, and femme perspectives in the dialogue kept my interest throughout. Really hope to see this staged in Chicago or elsewhere!

I saw this piece at Valdez Theatre Conference and absolutely loved it! The dark farcical ambiance is unlike anything I've seen on stage since Urinetown and provides a perfect ambiance for the introduction of an evil clown (Beans!). The dialogue packs a huge comedic punch and juxtaposes the struggles of the neurodivergent town mayor so well. So excited to see this again next chance I get.

I saw this read at Valdez Theatre Conference and was astounded at how much I was moved by a man made of old meat! A beautifully crafted story with a hint of magical realism that dives into grief in a way rarely done. Not to mention the stage directions made me snort-laugh at Spaceballs levels!

I saw this read at Valdez Theatre Conference and was struck by the wit and tension throughout. Thoroughly enjoyed the dialogue, language, and dark clouds of shifting power dynamics.

I saw this read at Valdez Theatre Conference and loved the structure of the piece and the fun quips throughout. A lovely, touching study of the depths of relationships.

I saw this play as a reading at Valdez Theatre Conference and was blown away. It explores so many questions pervasive in media today - duty to report as a journalist, shades of culpability, and how to approach the truth. I came away hoping I would be able to see it again as a full production soon.

A fascinating delve into the intricacies of power-play dialogue with discussions that need to be held on stage! Loved the intensity of this show and hope to be able to see it staged soon.

Hilarious and so clever! Amazing wordplay.

One of my favorite coming-of-age stories I've seen on stage. A beautiful play!
