- Girl's Night Out by25 Feb. 2021“ This is a touching, fun play. Nicole Amsler’s characters are distinct and their interactions believable. Most women in the audience will easily relate to these friends who struggle to find even one evening to share a drink and catch up. The bond between Lena and her mom, Muriel, tugged at my heartstrings, and as “Girl's Night Out” wrapped up, I wanted to join them at the table to share a Cosmopolitan and hear the rest of their conversation. ”
