What people say
"Mom, Look!"
"A beautiful slice of life play, and a reflection on death, having kids, the importance of knowing how to handle a teenager at the door, a new baby, and a kid handing you a playdough poop (sparkling with glitter!) all at once... Allen has created a charming play that reveals great depth in a short, gentle story.”
"MOMologues"
"I was very impressed by the human heartbeat in the writing and the raw and honest emotional commitment of the actors to the stories. They were clearly well directed. Overall, an exhilarating theatrical event."
- Derek Campbell, 2026
"MOMologues"
"This play forced my introspection and also forced me to consider the reasons for my discomfort. I believe that discomfort is exactly the effect the playwright intended to produce in audience members."
- Hank Nuwer, Fairbanks Daily News-Miner, 2023
