    A great play. Each of the characters are vivid and clearly drawn. The play is full of surprises, and humor, and each character has their own satisfying arc. This is a fantastic ensemble play hinting at the mysterious.

  • Philip Kaplan: WORKS FOR ME by Jerry Polner
    “

    In this dystopian absurdist comedy, Claire is unemployed, along with most other Americans, because no one has a full time job anymore. She has to deal with her overbearing mother, her jealous girlfriend, the pushy wife of her father and her new job, motivating all the temps. This is a very funny, and satiric play.
