Notes: | By Hope Bough - "Indy Theatre Habit", 2009 "Nor is ["A Very Phoenix Xmas 4"] all fluff. One short play has a little girl charmingly but profoundly discussing death and the afterlife with a compassionate snowman, for example. ("Death of a Snowman," by Daniel Guyton)." By Lou Harry - "Indianapolis Business Journal", 2009 "Best of the bunch is Daniel Guyton's "Death of a Snowman," in which actor Michael Shelton gives the best performance I've seen from him (and I've seen some fine ones) as a snowman discussing life and death with a young girl (Amanda Lynn Meyer)." By Elizabeth Musgrave - "Gotta Go!" Newsletter, 2009 "[Michael] Shelton and Amanda Lynn Meyer team up nicely in "Death of a Snowman," a poignant moment between a girl who has lost her mother and her snowman, who explains the circle of life in the coolest way possible." | |||||
Synopsis: | A girl and her snowman discuss the afterlife in this existential winter-time dramedy | |||||

Synopsis: | Gary is a homophobe. The play explores his prejudices in one of the funniest, most shocking tragedies of all time.
