"For our first production in the park, I was looking for a play that would showcase the remarkable talent pool we had. I had seen the Showtime movie and loved the way the characters were developed and the variety of characters. The pieces are strong and well written, an actor's dream...centerstage with no one else. The pieces allow for either sex to perform most of them. The response was overwhelming with people asking where we found such talented actors and where did we ever find such a powerful script. They were talking about the actors and pieces long after the show was over which was my initial goal. I wanted them to leave talking about the actors and the show rather than asking how they learned all those lines, etc. Our production was a huge success and opened the door for future productions in the park. I recommend this beautifully written piece to every group. It's powerful, it's controversial, it's funny, it's a challenge." -- H.V.P., Director, Stonington Players, Groton, CT
P.S."It was the easiest purchase I have ever encountered. One step online and it was done...scripts, the right to produce, everything."

"This play has laughter, tears, fears and fun, with a large measure of thought-provoking material added in. Our audiences, as well as our actors, were challenged to look at life from both sides." -- D. B., Manager, Marion (IN) Civic Theatre

From Actor to Director
Having been in the initial cast, it was very different for me to direct this play. The material was more challenging than the material my students encountered in the past with the previous teacher, but I felt many rose to the occasion. It was important to have lengthy discussions on an individual basis with each actor prior to him/her attacking the role(s). One parent said it was the best show he has seen in the school in the last three years!
