    A frank discussion about sex, technology, and what does - and doesn't - qualify as romance as experienced from opposite genders. An interesting look at love in the modern age conflicting with old-fashioned values.

    A delightful play with adorable characters, the tone may appear at first to demean but it ain't so! This is sophisticated, stylized comedy. A perfect little folktale for children and parents alike. One of my favorites from the Midwest Dramatists Conference. Highly recommended."

    What if Anne Frank were still alive? I saw an excerpt read from this outrageous play at the Midwest Dramatists Conference. It left the audience stunned. So very funny and so very wrong at the same time. I would LOVE to see the entire piece!

    Beautiful and bittersweet, two adoring friends reunite to relive the best and worst of times and to relish in one more stroll through a long ago romance. A play about memory, time, and love. And what the best of friends will do for each other.

    Watching the character of the father is like watching a ghost come in and out of existence. And all the son can do is grasp at what little is left behind. A beautifully rendered short play that packs so much truth in a small space with devastating honesty.

    Because of who these people are, they cannot be together. And yet they dance around that possibility in an agonizingly sweet, sorrowful way. A seemingly typical relationship that turns out to be anything but. This was beautifully presented at the Midwest Dramatists Conference.

    This play starts tense and just keeps building as we quickly learn the very different ways these two characters cope with loss. A short play about the assumptions we make about people. We never know the truth about the wearer of the jacket, and that's how it should be.

    Seemingly light, poetic dialogue, comic timing, and vivid imagery mask the painful core of this deceptively dark short play. Its surreal nature was refreshing, as was the playwright's use of language. Well developed characters as well.

    A sweet but funny short play with lovable characters falling in love themselves. These two youngsters discover in a humorous way two important elements that make a relationship work - honesty and kindness - and that you must have both. But trust me, do NOT follow the recipes talked about in this play ;)

    Fun characters, quick dialogue, a unique idea, and a humorous, ethical conundrum make this short play a real gem ;) I truly enjoyed the one character’s attempt to make the other reconsider her decision – but nope! Two-hander with easy production values. Highly recommended.
