"Mudflap Girl" is a compelling story about loneliness, cherished moments, the things we do to make ends meet, and how we do our best to stay connected to the people who matter most. It is also a story about how our values and perspectives evolve from decade to decade. The way this story was told kept the stage performance interesting and easy to follow, making this play easy to recommend.

I enjoyed "Strawberry Pie" because it inspired me to reflect on the harsh and unsafe conditions that some working people endure and on the lasting effects those experiences can have. The play was well acted, with each performer bringing honesty and humanity to her character. This is a thought-provoking story about companionship, resilience, hope, and the importance of having even one positive connection, or safe haven, in our lives. Jill Diane Turcotte
