Proposals is great humor that pulls at your heart strings. I performed in this show as Clemma Diggins. She is an insightful character with a sharp tongue. Her moments as narrator come at the right time to add suspense and in some places a bit of comic relief. Her entrances allow the other characaters plights to be built up but not to go over the edge. For example, the bird funeral could get ridiculous, but fortunately Clemma shows up and like a chorus leads us through the action with out having to see it. This is definately a fun show, worth reading, performing and seeing.
Amazing!

I was in this play production at my local college! Proposals is an amazing tribute to "disfunctional" families of the 1950's. It's hilarious! I, myself, am a member of generation-X, but found Proposals no less histerical! I can only imagine how one of the 50's generation would find it! It is definatly my faveorite Simon piece!
