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.

The past, the memory, the love - it stays with us and so prevalent in Weibezahl’s charming remembrance of a past that lasts as long as we do. One of the beauties of theatre is the immediacy of memory. And the playwright conjures it and gives it as a gift for us. Accept it as a present for all of us.

Reality, AI, chatbots - Feeny-Williams takes them all on and succeeds in her wonderfully satiric and human chatroom where being human is a liability. The trolls are out, their knives are sharpened and will two lonely people survive the onslaught? Timely, wistful, true and imagined - a play for our times and our overpowering need to connect.
