Reviews
"A charming character piece. Here, two old women get bumped from the ever-popular ceramics class into an improvisation course with a failed sitcom writer. It represents the best of what this brief format can reveal: surprising characterizations unfolding in original situations."
--The Albuquerque Tribune
