Review Quote:

“”The Liar” has a big vocabulary of comedy.  Zipping past are sight, verbal and sound gags.  There’s banter — and scenes of unspoken comedy.  It’s sexy.  It’s sassy.  It’s loopy, corny, stupid, silly, frothy, and fun.” Warren Gurds Green Bay Press Gazette.

When I was charging for producing my plays it was a flat fee of $50 per production, no matter how big the audience… That seems like a money making opportunity for someone.
