    At the end of the day, we must not ask after the power players behind Big Button. The real evil isn't destruction wrought in a mundane office. No, the real enemy is Big Foil and their dastardly plans enacted by the mysterious yogurt corporations. That's all to say, I snorted a few times out of laughter while reading this short play, and I have a feeling you will, too.

    The last page of this play hit, and I started crying. I haven't stopped yet. I don't know what else more to say than that this short hits on something special. Any piece of writing that can make someone truly feel something, anything, is special. Oh goodness. I imagine any performance of this would see at least one person in the crowd having a similar reaction as me. How wonderful art is.

    I have a box underneath my bed where I keep the sweaters. Sometimes I pull it out and breathe in its air. The scent has changed completely, yet I pretend it hasn't. I put it back in the box. I put the box beneath my bed. It's hard to let go. But it surely isn't hard to relate to or enjoy this piece

    A deeply touching play that left me misty-eyed by the end. It is terrifying to be haunted. Sometimes we want nothing more. And sometimes we have to recognize that a ghost can be a blessing. A lovely short

    Often the best silliness is the silliness that takes itself seriously. And this play? This play is peak silly. The sort that makes you want to dress up in ye olden garb while donning a cat headband and drawing whiskers on with marker. I can see this being a hit with high schools, colleges, and professional theatres alike. Simply wonderful. Now I must be off to channel my inner Brave Cat and swat things off flat surfaces!!

    Listen. As an absolute sucker for puns, this play is like catnip for me. I want to watch it. I want to direct it. I want to giggle at it while also getting invested in the great underlying drama. I can't stop grinning. A heck of a time, and Mary Anderpurr is a real treat for an actress.

    The sweet awkwardness to this play is the exact sort of thing that makes the world a brighter place to reside in. It's real cute, y'all. When I got to the last lines, I went, "Awwww" out loud. Lovely.

    Are there ever any easy answers? Are we ever looking to heal from the past or just find some hidden magic that'll undo it all, even if we'd never put it like that?

    I'd love to see two skilled and hungry actors tackle the main roles in this show. It'd be a real treat to be in that audience.

    I'm so sorry, but "craft herpes" took me out, and I needed a minute to stop giggling. There is, as others have said, a nice play here. A call to action, to bravery. To partying and joy as defiance. Sometimes I hold back from going to Pride events out of fear that a horrid person will target them with the sort of violence America excels at. Maybe this June I'll reread this piece and try to have a bit more courage. :)

    There are so many funny moments in this script, and yet every moment of comedy smashed into me with such strong horror and revulsion. My jaw dropped to laugh, but all that came out was an atheist's cry of "Christ." An excellent short play. An indictment of this country's latest sins.
