A fascinating character study. I feel like I really got to know Billy (and his mom and Jimmy) during these 20-some pages. A snippet of a moment in an American life and in time.

I admire the use of a “dream” space to tackle and prepare for a very real situation and unfortunate battle to be believed.

This script evokes a great sense of being trapped in space. I liked the reveal of the double meaning of the title.

“I mean everything I say. No subtext.” What a wonderful line from a script filled with wonderful words. Reading it, I was completely swept up in the tone and cadence. The scenes in the waiting room… so good!

Resonated on many levels, this script reaches for connection.

The texture in Scene VI is stunning.

An examination of and a call-to-action in and of itself. This script uses song, immersion, technology and ritual to examine important topics like gun control and race. Powerful on the page and I believe it would be even more so live. The moments of connection are beautiful.

Stylistically strong - I like that all characters are played by 1F performer and the imagery called for with the use of the prop.

Omar is the best! A fun mash-up of times.

Very charming story of what could have happened. The characters and lessons learned leave a heart warmed.
