Time doesn’t heal all wounds. Especially the ones you suffered in childhood. O’Neill-Butler captures a past and a present in a succinct and knowing manner. Heartfelt and unusual roles for senior actors.

Filled with surprises, happy and poignant, this is a play that begs to be produced. The role of Melody is a gift to actresses and the guards who letdown their guard are flesh and bone and nuanced. Charming and sweet with the knowledge of what can be robbed from you for no reason at all. Abstract art. Abstract life.

What a moment! Succinct and very scary in a New York minute. Floyd-Priskorn just captured our world.

This has one of the best touché moments that I’ve seen in a play. Read it and laugh. It’s A great addition to GI60’s Anniversary Production.

I love fairy tale mashups especially from the view of unknown characters. Floyd-Priskon gives us a fleeting glimpse of an unknown lady in waiting and shows us that you don’t need a Prince Charming to live happily ever after (although good hair is helpful),

Cats and catastrophe and Covid. Birds and babies and blues. And love. Imperfect, wild, tame, and (sometimes) bliss. A tale of creating, recreating and finding what is needed and wanted. A play that includes Covid without it being centerstage. The relationships take that honor. Gorgeous, imaginative play.

It’s easy to judge Abel. Even easier to judge Lydia. Sickles’ chance encounter makes you rethink, tropes, appearances, and the necessity of tea but he never makes you rethink the quality of kindness.

“The future is not fixed.” Heyman’s poignant play embodies the truisms that you should just love your children - who they are - and who they will become. Trust them to figure it out because they will. And when they do, they will want you in their corner. A play that will speak to so many teens who are struggling with identity. This play will make them feel seen.

While no community theatre will admit this is them, I suspect a lot of backstage snickers. I have an abiding love of local theatre and Floyd-Priskorn deftly portrays their charms.

Espey has devised a clever mystery. But it takes second place to the rich inner-workings of gifted, stressed, female teens. As they grapple with the loss of their friend, they must also discover who they are and who they should be - if there were nobody else in the world. A rich play with a chance for female teens to shines.
