UGH! I didn't think a play could totally encapsulate the stress of a group project with the annoyance of group texting! I was so tense this whole play. And it was hilarious! There are so many options for designing the text voice characters, too! What a great piece for students!

I love Jac's use of an old, funny fable, playing the long game to show Ida she will be there for her when she is ready to smile again. This is such a great way to get young audiences talking about hard things and emotions and how to be there for people when they are going through those hard times. They can even dive deep with the questions and ask the audience about why they think Gert was acting how she was. After all, as stated in the play, "We all grieve differently." Gert is grieving, too.

This play is like if the classic play VANITIES had more blood and sex puns...which, might have made VANITIES a little funnier, to be honest. Because this was hilarious! Every character will have such a fun time with their roles and the open interp on Blenderface is just such a gift. This whole play is a gift. And this is my thank you note for it!

As frustrated as I was with Jen through this whole play, the last line disarmed me and made say "Aw." It's hard when parents see one thing for their children and the child sees something entirely different. But even when it seems they are speaking two entirely different languages, as long as they TRY to communicate and be there for each other, there is hope. This play ends with hope. I like that.

What started out feeling like WHO'S AFRAID OF VIRGINIA WOOLF, slowly morphed into NINE PERFECT STRANGERS. This is a wild ride through loss, dealing with life changing mistakes and family dynamics. And, of course, the love of a dog that connects them all in different ways.

Wow! This is such a whirlwind of a play. The satire is biting, yet extremely within the realm of possibility for our future. The camp "leader" makes some great points, but still points toward a very oppressive solution to oppression! You will think while you laugh and hopefully this play will be a glaring example of where not to go in our march toward feminine freedoms!

This is very much a 1971 marriage! I mean, this poor woman couldn't get her own line of credit in '71. So many women jumped at their first proposal, thinking it was "freedom." It's sad and funny at the same time. But, come to think of it, this arrangement still happens today. A two minute play that really has me thinking!

This feels very much like a British farce. The deadpan delivery of devastating news while everyone shrugs it off and continues about their mundane conversations. All except the Daughter, the voice of reason. The voice of the audience? It's all very surreal and funny and culminates in an existential breakdown at the end. One that, I believe we are all on the edge of in all of our lives. Just like the characters in this play, we only break down if we allow ourselves to look over that existential edge.

This is such a sweet little play. A great vehicle for a young actor to show off their skills. The symbolism of the music and flowers are just touching and make for a fun design aspect.

This play hits on so many important aspects of self criticism teenagers and adults go through. A great piece for an evening about body positivity. If only we all could find an Anne in our lives!
