    Lovely, touching, insightful play. My heart jumped up with the last crack of the bat! A relatable and evocative play.

    I saw the shortened version -- and crowed with laughter. I am excited to at least quadruple my fun by seeing the full verson.

    I saw a wonderful production of this play at the Dalton (GA) Little Theatre yesterday. Trust me when I say I've seen scores of twisted holiday plays, and this has to rate right at the top. I was howling throughout!!! Clever, well-wrriten and, in its own perverse way, touching,

    loved reading this.
    I loved its eloquence, passion, compassion, and theatricality.
    I was engrossed the entire time reading it, and I imagine the experience with this play would be even deeper experiencing live on stage.
    I found the ending touching, surprising and well-earned.

    These short plays wonderfully and comically and dramatically portray five important life cycle events -- in ways that are humorous, poignant and surprising. The characters are connected by the empathy they elicit. It was exciting to read these plays, I imagine it's even more glorious to see them on stage.

    I had the pleasure of seeing a virtual reading of this play recently, and it takes an intense and thought-provoking look into the ways we self-identify -- and how that self-identification affects our relationships with others. Smartly, sharply and bravely written.

    A family drama that is spirited and well-crafted. It was gripping from being to end -- with the question of why rather than who and how. With the backdrop of an Israeli family, this raises specific details about their pain -- in a way that applies to many families of different faiths.

    After having read, seen, and heard many Zoom-related plays, I am quite taken with MOVIE REEL which conveys the mood and spirit of the day in a passionately lean way. It is a play that offers abundant staging possibilities, as it is a play that is open to various interpretations. To me, it would a fascinating showcase to see this play enacted by four different sets of actors/directors to see how they interpret the same material. The play is short, the dialogue clips along -- it would lend itself to this.
  • Old Goldilocks and the Two Bears, a 10-minute play

    A delightful and unique take on the Goldilocks story -- as an elderly American backpacker finds refuge in an enchanted part of Spain.

    This is a gripping "love story" that had me racing toward the end to see what this couple was going to choose to do with their futures. I found myself entranced by the lean, efficient dialogue -- and the couple's "cool" desire to connect. I took a deep breath at the end. This was a real treat to read.
