At first I thought this was going to be a poolside, modern version of Dangerous Liaisons. But Mitch's story of finally having his first love, and having it be such a huge and literally shooting star of a summer romance is just so beautiful and relatable...I mean, we all dream about a famous person falling hard for us when we're young! This is a summer romance that will stick with audiences for a while. I adore the "first pancake" metaphor! I use that one a lot, myself!

Indeed. The reading and talkback of a new play can be brutal. But sometimes, it seems the ones talking back are just talking because they have the forum to do so. For the most part, playwrights should take the same attitude as Bill at the end. I mean, look where it got him! This would be a great "warm up" before an actual reading and talkback, so people might look within before they offer changes to a new play!

Yup. This is actually a great play to read/perform before any playwright endures a reading and feedback session. The respondents all have their own personal baggage they want to toss into the playwright's pages. This play is quite validating in a way. Playwrights, read this and rejoice that you are not alone. Theatres that offer readings with feedback, read this and learn something!

Awwww. Seriously. Awwwwwwwww. This is true love. I feel warm, nostalgic and all those good holiday-family feels from this short piece. This is a Christmas Card in all the best ways.

Hilariously over the top. This play will get tons of laughs and feel uncomfortably familiar. It's like social media during the holidays come to life!

This meta short play is so fun. Olive is a terrific character and actors would fight for this role at auditions! Or would there even be auditions? Is the play still happening now? Great laugh at the end as well!

It would be nice to have a protector like Andrea...but not one that literally takes over my life. This short mystery/thriller would be a fun challenge for an actor to take on.

Wow. This is such an original story. So very powerful. The ride will surprise you at every turn, even to the last page. But through the tragedies of these intertwined lives is beauty. We are all connected, even more than we know. This will have audiences gasping, sobbing and holding their loved ones even closer. An absolutely epic mosaic of life and love.

This is a tale of psychological horror that, until now, I didn't realize is a huge fear of mine! I won't be able to shake the feeling I get from Marcus' calm and wicked way of manipulation. Absolutely terrifying. Pete is literally getting something he wished for, but not in the way he had hoped.

Sometimes it does feel like theatres hate playwrights! This is so relatable and frustratingly so. If you're a theatre gatekeeper and this DOESN'T feel relatable, I know some playwrights that would LOVE to share some scripts with you!
