Charming and clever. CAN YOU HEAR ME NOW pokes fun at our own phone follies and foibles from a refreshingly naive perspective. Easy to stage. Fun to play. I adored the fast paced dialogue.

Yay for THAT teacher who teaches aesthetics with a just a little push in the right direction. While not everyone "gets it," that's ok, this short play oozes hope and warmth and endless possibilities to those willing to take a short drive and just try. Love it.

A funny yet reflective down-to-earth play which reaches far beyond its few pages. It leaves us with a sense of hope despite the chaos and confusion clouding our perceptions of the universe and ourselves. Loved it. Favorite line (but it was difficult to choose): "If reality is just a construct of perception, why don’t we just perceive a better reality?" Easily staged. Great fun to play. Will leave the audience elated and enlightened.

Love the Euripidean focus on Iphigenia and her end/beginning, her reinvention of herself. Aly Kantor once again presents us with a piece full of longing, wistfulness and hope. Clever banter, clear characterization; a short play which highlights the myth without ever being weighed down or losing its pace and energy. Lovely!

Leave it to Scott Sickles to create a character who announces they're unable to survive and then watch them thrive, despite themselves! As Sickles does, seamlessly moving through genres. He instills in his character modesty and humanity and renders him/her universal. Sickles and the super cold read by Miranda Jonte of Backporch Theater held my attention from start to finish. Fine work. Bravo.

A fun fast paced romp through the circles of customer service hell! Hysterical. Great fun for performers and audience alike.

Caught the Tiny_Theatre reading of this short play. A great blend of the modern day world and Irish folklore. A mini classic!

It was a real privilege to grow up with these two young women. Kantor's voice is full of goodness, humor, and warmth blended with real pain, as she guides her characters through the inevitable tumble into experience and the corresponding loss of innocence...and yet, there's hope. I loved it. I appreciate the natural shifts in the young children's logic, the perspective of a kindergarten teacher, and the relative safety of the bathroom/toilet/stalls. A well-paced, timely piece. There is much to commend it. I want to see this on stage. Now.

If we only had minutes left....a delightful and funny but also harrowing look at a couple and the "tragic" push of an outside force, forcing change. Super pace, dialogue, physical action... Love the open-ended, non-ending of it all!

Christopher, you naughty boy, you! The stage business is clear enough to make for laughs yet open enough to leave a director free to make some fun staging choices.
