    THE WOLVES of the skating world, EDGE CALL takes you deep inside the competitive world of figure skating and doesn't let you go until it's wrung you out. Deeply etched characters make you both wonder why anybody would ever do this and exactly why they do all at the same time. Compelling work!

    Audrey Cefaly brings her masterful command of language and emotion to a most personal, haunting, and gorgeous tribute. This play is a testament to what it's like to love someone not only with addiction but who is your other half, who shares your DNA. Like all Cefaly plays, it will break open your heart--be prepared.

    With a keen knack for natural dialogue (so many great lines!), Emmet Cameron charts a compelling hour among an unlikely trio that explores what it takes to maintain relationships and when it's too much to ask.

    Fantastic! Smart, fast-moving, funny. A play that's about everyday office stuff and so, so much more. Simple sets, complex characters, and an inside look at the way a word can change everything in today's world. Loved it!

    As someone who faced Em and Belle's situation, it was refreshing to see the choice examined in both a thoughtful and entertaining way. So many people probably never consider this, and this play epitomizes what theater is for.

    I read so many plays for contests and if this one crossed my path, I would definitely pass it on for being original and current in the most inventive ways. This play is a breath of fresh air--relevant, smart, FUNNY (so funny), and written with a voice that sings. Loved it!

    In real-time, Rachel delivers a pressure cooker of powerhouse roles for three women and centers them in a tale usually reserved for men. In doing so, she allows themes of late-stage capitalism and wish-cycling blindness to resonate with truthful undercurrents about feminism, sexism, and women's relationships to other women. The result is a fast and fresh evening of theater. Bravo!

    So great, so relatable, and so true. Vince backs us into the privilege males think they have when it comes to demonstrating their feelings and it packs a wallop. Great job!
