There's a lot to love here. With another round of smoothing, this one's ready to take audiences on a roller coaster of comedy, shock, tragedy and hope. And absolutely loving the "Aisle" framework for multiple vignettes.

Jillian Blevins' work is sublime. Here, it's from character to dialogue to lighting to choreo(ish). :) The description of Doxy's age is perfection and I'm now now in love with describing character gender by their pronouns -- because a drag Doxy would be equally delicious!

No one escapes unscathed in this delightfully clever four-hander that turns on hilarious frustration. So much range for a director as well as the actors -- anything from playing it straight to going all the way over the top. Lots of fun.

Adorable.

A piercing, riveting story of hope, ambition, disappointment, betrayal, fear and the involuntary changes all of that leaves in its wake. Your heart will break, then soar, then break again in this deeply felt story that wields real power from its unsentimental telling. The final line of NO JOY, NO LUCK will rip your heart out. And just to say it: Amy Tan was wrong. This work is exceptional.

I didn't want this scene to end. Would love to have a longer visit with these two characters.

An exceptional noir monologue - dotted with other characters and graced with the smoothest scene transitions. So much to play with here for the scenic and lighting designers as well as the director. There's a clever middle twist that sends you down a sure-footed path... until it doesn't. Your best actors will be fighting to play this twisted lead character/narrator.

An outstanding use of theater to explore both sides of a no-win dilemma. The audience is treated with respect and is assumed to be fully capable of understanding both sides. This will affect audiences in the best possible way -- prompt them to examine the "truths" that have developed in the aftermath of Sandy Hook.. and what, if anything, they want to do about it.

America is doing Capitalism wrong. And Aly Kantor gives us a sharp and vivid look at how our techno-pharma future will brutalize the most vulnerable among us.

There's a magical realism woven throughout this carefully crafted La Rhonde that's apparently still in development. The guidance for scene transitions is especially compelling. Definitely worth a read.
