I guess the plays were good for having a sophomore in high school write them. That being said, I didn't really find them enjoyable. I think the only one that I really liked was Henry's casting call short. For the ones that Elise wrote, it seemed like her goal was to confuse and piss people off. Dealing with gay issues as well as the Issue of God is touchy territory to start with, and when its condensed into a one act play and the written by someone who is still developing her writing skills, this touchy subject comes of badly. It was a good first start that's for sure, but until she has more time to improve her style I would recommend that Elise stick to less sensitive subjects.
However, I would like to congratulate all of the actors. They did a fantastic job with what they had. I have to assume that it is hard to project a character in such a short period of time and I think that they all did it wonderfully.

thanks! I agree with that. Though elise is a talented writer, i was very hesitant about PPG because I was afraid that her portrayal of the gay dads would be a bit much... even offensive. and heaven.... if you don't know elise, that would certainly could get people. but it was a lot of fun to act in.
