Pat is at it again! This time bringing hope and joy to future children! What a sweet origin story for Pat to help create!

This literary murder mystery would be a perfect library fundraiser production! I can see the audience being encouraged to dress up as their favorite literary characters and really getting in to this funny and intense play! It would be a blast to execute (pun intended) as well! Through all of the antics, the message is clear, there should be room for all kinds of stories in the library! Middle school students would have a blast watching and performing this, especially!

I was wondering when the title would come into play and I wasn't disappointed! The absolute earnestness and urgency of this moment they share is palpable. But the beauty is, no matter how dark their moment is, they are together and that is reason to celebrate. Truly an unconventional Christmas play, but ultimately highlights what the holiday is about, relatable to today.

Great history lesson as well as a fun scene for actors to tackle. Especially if they might know a few magic tricks to add to the piece! And Amber will likely show them all up eventually! Which is highly satisfying!

Ah, when theatre, even edgy theatre, becomes dead eyed and repetitive. It is quite an interesting thought to choose EQUUS as your alternative to A CHRISTMAS CAROL, however, we see from this insider's perspective it might be a little selfish and creepy in its execution. As a lot of theatre can be in the wrong hands! Poor Sandy. Sandy is a true witness without power in this artistic seasonal vortex.

Wow. The truths in this play are very hard and very honest. And like in life, there are no easy answers. But just having the conversation is important enough. Very powerful. Very difficult to witness.

The multi-lingual word play is delightful and I can see this delivered in a fast paced comedic way, the way a couple that is very familiar with one another's quirks would converse. So relatable, even though I know little to no French. But so much fun.

Dale the reaper is a great character and I am definitely looking forward to seeing that periwinkle ascot! We all have mistakes and regrets in our lives, but if we continue to ignore them, like AJ, we will never become better humans. The scene with his patient Sean is particularly poignant and moving.

This play shook me to my core. It comes in hot and never releases you until the very end. It's true that hurt people hurt people, but Douglas made a career out of being a hurtful monster and justifying it as love. The triggers are pulled metaphorically as well as literally for Timothy and Douglas, as well as the audience, are left with the mess. Absolutely heartbreaking and important work.

I was literally wiping tears away as I read this...from laughing so hard! The lengths Mary and John go to to set up Tom's entrance cue every time are just so brilliantly weird! I will never order an unsexy pepperoni pizza ever again. Actors will be fighting to be cast in this piece!
