Am I the only one who wants to see this little diamond sparkle as a denouement for a larger piece? I wanna see what happened to make Jordan hand Flannery this glass of wine. :)

Riveting. This mile-a-minute psychological thriller has it all -- great writing, modern characters, thoughtful staging, and a dramatic question that won't quit.

Am I the only one who really - really - wanted this to keep going? :)

Fantastic comic sketch. Perfect amuse bouche (before the real thing?). :)

Bone chillingly effective.

What if the audience's evening began on the sidewalk outside the theater? :)

O'Grady gets everything out of the way of these powerful concurrent narratives -- the structure is simple, the lines come one at a time, the language is comfortable in the 21st century. It speaks volumes.

The rhythms are perfect in this look at the moments when life's biggest choices creep up on you.

Phenomenal. Vansant expertly leads us into one story (incredibly perceptive and dead-on work), reveals another, and that's when you realize she's dropped three huge societal questions in your lap. This also has the most effective use of projection I've seen yet. Good luck with your conversation with the folks you came with on the way out of the theater.

Intimate, raw and communal all at the same time. If you're looking for something inventive to kick off your night of queer shorts, this monologue is a great candidate. It kind of ends like an amuse bouche, right?
