Now she wants revenge—or to get her cell phone service turned back on. Part thriller, part screwball comedy, part inspired by events that have undoubtedly happened to YOU.

What the critics are saying about The Veri**on Play:

“Kron’s writing is quick and smart and filled with attention-getting cultural references” – Elizabeth Kramer, Courier Journal  Full Review

“A smart and nimble script that meshes pointed satire and call-to-arms populism with surprising ease, The Veri**on Play wins the hearts and minds of the audience with unashamed low-brow humor and shoot-the-moon energy.” – Keith Waits, arts-louisville.com  Full Review

“a lively creation that turned a personal consumer outrage into cartoonish fantasy” — Peter Clark, Louisville.com Full Review

“At the heart of this play is the very contemporary question of what it means to be a struggling individual at the mercy of wealthy and powerful corporations who have been deemed too essential to the fabric of our society and economy to fail.” — Erin Keane, WFPL  Full Review

“It’s a fast-paced, gut-busting, customer-service satire set in a dystopian world — our dystopian world, really — where all the old civics lessons have been bent, folded and mutilated: Once we were citizens; but now we’re all just customers.” – Marty Rosen, LEO  Full Review
