Emily Hageman writes this character in typical teenage fashion, but not over the top. The character is grounded and fully-realized.

The dialogue is raw, particularly with Lanie's story. These three characters brings authenticity to a taboo subject. The characters aren't putting on a show. JM Chambers makes these characters three dimensional to the point where reading the script felt like I heard their voices speak to me.

Full of energy and clear, everyone reading this piece will chuckle at how spot on it is, especially given the state of our world today.

Reading the premise itself was haunting. Reading the script was grounding. Given how recent the tragedy at Robb Elementary was, this piece serves as a kind gesture for all the lives we've lost.

The title is spot on! We see Billy go through the five stages of grief in comedic fashion and without missing a beat. This monologue flows smoothly which will give actors the ability to do it justice.

As a diehard Albee fan, this piece checked off all the boxes for me: it's absurd, super-meta, and the conclusion feels justified. I thoroughly enjoyed it!

Cute and down to earth! This piece will make anyone chuckle.

Simply remarkable! As a gay man myself in his 20s in 2022, this feels very fresh (despite it being over 20 years old). It's relatable ad funny! This play examines when we don't follow what our hearts tell us to do and the consequences that come from it. Brilliant! Would love to perform this one day.

Structurally, it's very reminiscent of Edward Albee's "Three Tall Women," but with a modern punk twist. Gives a solid message on honoring yourself no matter the circumstances. Bravo!

A beautiful display of two boys struggling with their own desires and don't know how to help one another.
