“A 15-minute romp by Denver’s Nicolette Vajtay leads off a near-farcical jolt that would satisfy any aficionado of Christopher Durang’s or Neil Simon’s plays. In it, a distraught writer (Elizabeth Kahn) faces down her anonymity with a frenzied search for “chi” and other New Age solutions to realign herself with the universe and facilitate a career and personal rebirth. Happily, and in ways only found in romantic comedy, it works.” Posted by Terry Gibson
