A lovely nod to Baldwin and perhaps an extension of his ponderings on a 'higher power'-brilliantly left to the reader's interpretation. There is an essential struggle underlying each part that seems to endless flow into each other. It's gritty yet hopeful and everything in between. A good play should take us somewhere and Debbie Lamendman doesn't disappoint- the interplay of sound and movement is sure to make a spellbound theatrical experience.

The power of connection and literally save us. How important it is to be seen at the most vulnerable moments of our life. Thank you Alli Hartley-Kong for this piece that illustrates that the hurdles of life can be a part of the journey, not the destination.

Nostalgia City- with all the modern twists and turns. A very fun show that has high energy and something for everyone. Love having these iconic characters come to life!

Talk about writer's block! Watching a play being written from the inside out is a fascinating idea. The dialogue moves seamlessly creating a fluidity that allows us to experience the inner creative world of the writer. Very relatable, clever, and a nice addition to a festival!

So much fun for a production team to explore and bring to life! It is so much more than a work call gone wrong and it leaves you intrigued to the end. What a fun twist! Love the blend of stage and technology in this one- very creative.

A true human experience- it has all the levels. This meeting of chance turns into a deeply moving event. I appreciate the focus on humanity over any particular religion and the unity in holding space, rather than trying to "fix" or talk people out of their emotions. It was wonderful to see this play in the Two-Hander Slam and I enjoyed going back and re-reading it. Thank you for this piece Michael Adams- this world needs more compassionate witnesses!

I'm currently in a production of Back Cover and working so intimately with this piece I can tell you Emily has something really special here. This coming of age story has heart, humor, and does a great honor in its tribute to those lives lost in 9/11. Such an important message about the power of storytelling. This would be a perfect piece to use in an education setting to introduce this monumental historic event to young audience. I cried every rehearsal. Thank you Emily.

Love the challenge to industry standards. Brava at pointing the finger directly at how women are cast to play, certain limited roles based on appearance only. Being an actor this play hits home and depicts the competition aspect of casting that often goes unspoken. Love it- great piece. Very powerful to see performed.

The tension is amazing and it leaves the reader wanting to know more. As an actor, my mind is reeling with all the directions to take this psychological drama.

I hope those that have different interests from their friends read this and know that light inside them should never be dimmed for others (adults included) Yes! It makes you root for that creative inner child and also I'm pretty sure this kid grows up to be an artistic director. Love it! ❤
