LowellArts recently performed this play and it was a lot of fun. Great parts for kids to play and a fast-moving narrative that keeps everybody engaged. This is definitely a fun play for you to consider for your own TYA or children's theater experience!

I love the 70's. I love noir. And so, I wasn't surprised that I was hooked very quickly while reading Love's brilliant "Moonlight Over LA." What speaks to his talent in composing this elegy set in the seedy underbelly of 1972 LA is that it never lets you go. The soliloquys to the audience are insightful, composed, and sometimes brutal. The characters are just so well drawn that I had no problem picturing them with glee as I consumed the story. It is my extreme hope that I get to see this staged someday... it's going to be spectacular!

An incredibly touching story of girls in a very fragile situation in the WWII era. But there's no constant fragility on display here. These are strong women, all in their own way. The characters are very engaging and draw you in immediately. There's the typical humor from Kantor and the historical references are just pitch perfect. This would provide terrific roles for high school actors to perform. The ending was just such a great moment and made me tear up a little. I thoroughly enjoyed this one act!

A funny five-minute with a nice etiquette lesson to boot. Very enjoyable! The scenario is unfortunately too recognizable from my time at airports... and all other public places these days, it seems. Excellent satire on where we are these days by Riffel and how it might be better to go the "honey" way. :)

Tremendously funny 10-minute. Had me smiling and laughing the whole way. Pokes holes in the wrong things about "faith" in all the right ways. This would definitely be an incredibly entertaining 10-minute to see staged. Good GOAAWHHD it's true!

A lovely monologue reflecting on loss and what family means to us. I've thought a lot recently about how little things from our lives have bigger meanings in terms of the whole meaning. Weibezahl's monologue definitely reflects that, and it was a joy to read. It would be an excellent monologue for the right performer to bring to life.

An excellent piece! Confessionals are always great for drama, and this one is no exception. The tension builds nicely, and the twists are effectively done. This would definitely make an excellent addition for any 10-minute festival that would have it!

Oo, this was a really good set up! I have family members who have been through similar situations as described here, so everything rings true (unfortunately). An all-too-common problem these days for landlords in certain states. If this work leads to something else, can't wait to see it, but in the meantime, just this 10-minute sets the stage very effectively and leads to quite a bit of pathos for the characters in a short burst. Definitely recommended!

A very funny comedy/horror piece with an entertaining twist at the end. Loved the dialogue between the characters... kept the piece moving forward well. An exciting ten-minute for the right kind of festival... no sacrifice for them if they make this part of their schedule!

Very funny short play that kids will definitely get a kick out of (and there's some very funny jokes for the adults too!). Loved the contemporary twists and the allusions to other fairy tales. Young (or young-at-heart) performers would have a ball performing this and audiences viewing them would appreciate their efforts, I'm sure. A lot of fun!
