"I've been going to see Bare Bones plays at Sandra Jones Campbell's studio, produced by Lojo Simon, for quite awhile and each play has been thought-provoking, enjoyable and well acted by a cast that often includes locals Ava Burton and Deb Conroy. Last night's play didn't disappoint. Great fun theater for $20 is a bargain. If you haven't checked it out, I recommend it." -- Michael Waldman
