Praise for The Date

I really liked this play. It gave the actors a chance to really stretch their different acting skills, as it bounced believably between funny ribbing from your friends, to shock, to horror. And the special guest character at the end really killed each night (pun intended). I get the vibe this was written as a Zoom play, but we did it live and it still totally played. The kids really enjoyed both being in it and watching it.
