A highly theatrical comedy with laugh-out loud dialogue, TINY EMPTY NEST is that rare piece that gives older actors roles of substance. Relatable and poignant, this three-hander also will thrill your design team!

I finally got a chance to see this play and it was worth waiting for, but it was busting from the small screen, demanding to be given all the theatricality intended. I can't imagine the impact it would have fully alive on stage! The play covers so much ground, which only makes it painfully apparent how much ground there is to cover and how little progress we've really made in doing that. It's still available to watch; do it!

A wonderfully wrought play about the decline of the humanities (sad face) and humanity, a brew of hypocrisy, dubious morality, and patriarchal double standards that plays out in the perfect location: a struggling academic institution. Eppich-Harris clearly knows the world she's writing about, and Valerie's turmoil is heartbreakingly real.

This play is delightful especially in the way it deals with the most deepest questions with the lightest hand. Such a fun read but not without substance. Bravo!

OMG this play. So beautiful, smart, moving, and real. Highly recommend!

This play has everything going for it: great female roles, familiar people, relentlessly astounding theatricality, great story, humor, playfulness, and poignancy. Once this gets on the school/college and community theater circuit, it may never leave!

Had the privilege of hearing some college students perform this one and now I understand why it's gotten so much attention! It's a great premise with lots of laughs that will no doubt continue to have long life because it's so classic. And how many plays can you tag with "Victorian Comedy"?

Full disclosure: I am not a Shakespeare fan but I was RIVETED by a reading of this play (and another full disclosure: I was ten minutes late to it and worried I wouldn't be able to get into it), but it was so amazing, I got sucked right in. Okay, that was my reaction! But the writing is incredible, a brilliant prequel to Romeo and Juliet that has contemporary resonance, a kickass female lead, and that adds layers to the story we all know so well. Out of words but !!!!!!!!!!!!!!.

This parking lot pandemic pivot is just the kind of play I'd want to see right now, when I'm sequestered with people I love who might also be driving me a little crazy. It's beautiful and simple and reminds of some truths that deserve consideration right now. The deceptive simplicity of it is what would make it work so well outside, but I hope if we return to theaters, The Parking Lot comes along.

Omigosh, what great fun!! Weaver pays homage to a beloved genre with cleverness, wit, and all the required hard-to-guess twists and turns. The large flexible cast makes this a play for schools and community theaters--one their audiences will love!
