  • This short, poignant play reminds us how hard it is to be a parent and how hard coming-of-age can be in a world full of hypocrisy and double standards. I liked the characters and their heartfelt interactions. The love between the father and daughter permeates the entire piece.

    A widow of a certain age contemplates whether she should jump back into the dating pool. She is visited by her former self at various ages, and the results are hilarious. I had the pleasure of reading this play and seeing it staged at Theatre Three's 24th Annual One-Act Festival. It is a fun read, but even more fun to see staged. Bravo!

    This psychological thriller is well-crafted and suspenseful. The characters are believable and the dialogue is biting and moves the plot forward with rapid speed all the way to the stunning finale. I would love to see this staged.

  • Cindi Sansone-Braff: Above and Beyond

    So many themes are packed into this short play, from following your dreams no matter what the cost, love of family, isolation, and the fear people feel when things seem out of their control. I loved the characters, a married couple who love and support each other, but are doing the long-distance thing, and by that I mean, she's an astronaut up in outer space and he's on Earth during the pandemic. This would work on Zoom as well as on stage. I would love to see this produced!
