I am very excited about this play! Not only is it well written, it also consumes your heart. Polly has gone through a tremendous amount of destruction. She has layers of scars that are slowly and carefully removed through the play. She is a fighter and is reaching for happiness which has been just out of her grasp her whole life. There is a universal truth you feel in your heart as you read it. It rings true, very true. I've been an actress for over thirty years and I can tell you it's a wonderful gift for an actor to read something that has that truth. I also really love the part music plays in the play. Music can hit us hard. It can change our moods. It can take us right back to an experience we've had. It wraps us in meaning. Ms. Stinson uses music in all of these ways.Actor or not do yourself a favor and read The Mixtape. I promise you you will think about it long after you finish it and it will change you. I look forward to reading much more from Paula M Stinson.
