From the beginning, we are hooked. The writer's subtle set-up of the story leads us down a path we didn't expect to travel, but we go willingly, and in the end, have a whole new appreciation for the semicolon.

Generations of woman can relate to POPCORN THIGHS and the battle of self-image. Partain delivers a lovely, well-paced character arc and a realistic resolve. Any actor looking for an audition piece will find this monologue filled to the brim with opportunity to showcase their skill range.

I love a good monologue with a moral to the story and this one delivers! A poignant yet comical absurdist piece that speaks to our human need for emotional intimacy!

Suilebhan's suggested staging and lighting design was the perfect backdrop for this play - darkness with occasional illumination - and offers both a visual and allegorical message that enhances the strong, dramatic storytelling. Weaving the past into the present offers us the chance to immerse ourselves in the moment and leave with questions that challenge our own beliefs.

This biographical story about a journey through the darkest of times, delivers a blast of light on the opioid crisis, and how one man survived his personal hell as a heroin addict. Vovos takes us on a riveting ride of despair and self-loathing - a brilliantly crafted character arc - to a place of hope.

When Wyndham created the character of Max, he created a voice that not only taps our emotions and empathy for his crisis. A SOUP KITCHEN COOK subtly weaves a deeper message into the storyline that any audience needs to hear.

A superb bit of storytelling! Wang delivers a tale that captivates and allows us to experience the past along with her.

Hansen gives us a powerful piece of writing. His well-crafted characters and their conflict confront us with a high dose of realism and a razor-sharp message.

A poignant and beautiful glimpse into the power of love and hope ! Cross captures the essence of our times in a quick minute!

I have had the pleasure to both read and see a wonderful live performance of this captivating play that delivers more than comedic moments and a taste of 20th century noir with diner coffee. I highly recommend this play to any theatre ISO of a script that captures a slice of the past and a real-time feel of the timeless complexities of human nature.
