What a playful and charming short play by HANNAH LEE DEFRATES. I am a sucker for a meet cute, and this ticks every box. JUST LOVELY.

What a powerful and vulnerable monologue that speaks to losing oneself. It's perfect. Who is a wife when she is part of a team but acts alone? Simple thought provoking.

Why do we let the words of others dictate our passions and our heart? RACHEL FEENY-WILLIAMS nails what it's like to put your passion out for the world to critique, With passion comes vulnerability and with vulnerability comes a chance to be hurt. Thank goodness brain, heart, and confidence work together to make things right again.

Darn that Marie Kondo! The relationship between this mother and daughter is relatable and perfect. Far more believable than any KONDO Method. Everyone should have a mother that is this warm, supportive, and ready to give love. BEAUTIFUL.

There is nothing more painful than two people, who one outwardly and one deep down, who wants love, but they're in different places... always the wrong time. I can almost imagine the raw and melancholy tune that will accompany these beautiful lyrics listed. This is the kind of tummy twister that captivates audiences.

BOOM!
The circus may be fading, but CHRISTOPHER SOUCY reminds us that we are still a part of it... just now in private and no refuge exists for the lost and broken. Sad, but a beautiful execution of truth.

I am always amazed when a talented playwright can take so few words and create so many emotions and evoke so much thought. I couldn't see how someone could write in a jazz style... then CHRISTOPHER SOUCY showed me it wasn't just possible... it could be art.

This is a powerful and tragic monologue for any seasoned actors in their 50s. So much pain. So much humor used to cover sadness. So much still to process. Wisdom comes with age, but so does regret. BRAVO, ADAM RICHTER. This is a killer piece.

EVERY Broadway musical lover will ADORE this infectious short play... or should I say... musical by RACHEL FEENY-WILLIAMS. She takes all my personal favorite shows and treats us to clever mashup with a very knowledgeable game show contestant. My biggest question is... How do I sign up to BE the next contestant? READ THIS AND SMILE.

I was lucky to see this performed on Back Porch Theatre. Years of undiscussed pain and trauma begin to move toward repair and healing in this tender and powerful monologue.
