Some of us 'let our characters talk to us' but unlike Robert, none of them have shown up at our home! Great concept, your opening captured my attention, and I was instantly invested. The feedback that Callie offers Robert, in regards to the reviews she read for "his" book, was a powerful meta moment and the talk about representation was powerful. Bravo Sam this play really drove home the profound impact authors can have on their readers.

Kudos to Ryan Bultrowicz for this absurdist powerhouse play where you find yourself projecting meaning onto the appearance of the onion. It evolves with conflict that is existential in nature adding to the wealth of possibilities for actors. This one has it all humor, mystery, and intrigue as the women spiral around trying to understand the motivations of the onion. - The onion may bite but it ain't talking! Loved it!

Such a cleverly devised concept with pacing that hits the ground running! 
This dark comedy gives you all the existential vibes of No Exit yet maintains its originality and suburb world-building. What a gift to actors to have such well-developed characters. This piece has something raw and authentic that makes you feel like you are in the driver's seat the whole time, eagerly waiting to see what happens next. Bravo DC! 

This is an emotional roundhouse kick. Personal history mixed with historical events makes this memory play so powerful as we understand Larry's life in hindsight. The characters are so vivid it may serve them to be housed in a full-length piece; there is undoubtedly enough intrigue to support this. Karp has created such a loving piece. It is relatable in its universal themes of love, acceptance, grief, and how we find ourselves over time. I did not see the end coming- because I was so captivated along the way. Thank you for this!

The power of vulnerability reveals these two seemingly different people may have more in common than they thought. The stakes are high throughout as they shift from external to internal. A wonderful piece with themes of acceptance, hope, and connection. Seeing it staged was wonderful. The candles, the storm, the way the actors started so far a part physically and soon closed the gap over a series of questions. Very beautiful. Aly writes authentic and touching pieces this is definitely one.

Hard truths in this one! Wow super relatable and hopefully an eye-opener for the Paige's out there doing for others at their own detriment. I love the message that this family needs to pull together to make it. You feel the conflict around asking for help and trying to keep the image up of "doing well" even when we are not. Well done love the focus on female friendships and women 40+.

I was captivated by this conversation, loving every moment of it. The thought that magic is deep in our DNA is fun. Great work. DC is a wizard of banter.

I appreciated Kate's observation of Kai on the bus and subsequently Kai's complexity around his Jewish identity. I wanted to know more about what led Kai to say "it isn't important to me." It felt like that line was dripping with experiences just out of our view. The subtext of wondering 'am I enough' is relatable and especially universal. I wondered what Kate wanted from Kai and what it meant for their relationship- perhaps to know he could feel deeply. :) Great Work!

The importance of family, connection, and culture all come through crystal clear and are punctuated by relatable family dynamics and the awkwardness of a first date. This is a play that came out of the pandemic without being a 'pandemic play' it has nostalgia built in as we remember those days of fumbling around on zoom. Love the inclusivity in casting, the messages of acceptance, and the generational humor all hit their marks. Loved seeing it with Spoonie Theatre!

Enjoyed the dialogue and the dimensions of these characters. Jones is skillful at world building so much so you feel like you're on the date with Colleen and Ludlow. The mosquito monologue is a pleasure and Timothy creates levity in all the right places. Fun ending.
