Jennifer Jasper’s PRESSING MATTERS is a dream come true for those who love storytelling. Jasper offers up six plays of varying scenarios populated by quirky-but-believable characters that occasionally tug at your heart strings and tickle your funny bone. Two people spell through the stages of their lives in et-y-mol-o-gy while mothers pass on their circumstances and memories in Inheritance. Free Range is a futuristic look at child rearing, and Oscar Clyde Denman presents an inside look at a child who struggles to cope with problems as she matures into womanhood. Thanksgiving in July is a retrospective of a relationship about to undergo a major change, and in Destination Unknown passengers wait to embark on the final leg of their journey.

With precision and authenticity, the talented cast (Ito Aghayere, Molly Carden, Saum Eskandani, Jenn Harris, and Genesis Oliver) easily glide from character to character, often in the same play. Director Adrienne Campbell-Holt keeps the pace moderate allowing enough time to savor the situation. And Jasper adds just the right amount of humor and pathos to make us hang on to every word. Put PRESSING MATTERS on your things-to-do list; you won’t be disappointed.
