    I had the pleasure of directing this play as part of FESTIVAL OF TEN at SUNY Brockport. The actors and I had a blast diving into this complex (but maybe not so far off) world Newsham created. The characters jump of the page as they toss and turn and pull and tug for what they believe is right and for each other. A crowd favorite and an idea that will stick with you for a long time.

    I had the pleasure of seeing this play done as part of FESTIVAL OF TEN at SUNY Brockport. It was the perfect opening show of the night, inviting the audience in and setting the tone of fun, weird, and warm. A smart and cute twist on familiar characters. Sure to please any crowd!

    Great slapstick! Love the meta bit at the end.

    This play moves! Jane's direct addresses have a powerful lilt. The relationships and connections she forms in her musings and the scenes are rich. The movement and spectacle the script calls for would be wonderful to see.

    Expert storytelling splintering off to examine the core. Very relatable to think back and examine a family moment after which nothing was the same.

    Love this script! Many moments sparkle with camp and dazzle with fugue. Patti with the chair at the end... what a perfect exit.

    I admire the refined pace of this script. It's left me thinking a lot about halfness and full.

    In a short span, Prillaman nails the voices of these 4 characters. Moxi has some hoot-of-a-lines and the force behind Trent and his entrance - hysterical! We bounce along this ethical journey to a satisfying, intelligent point.

    So very nicely crafted! Chilling to see how each piece grew out of what was there before.
