1M,2F. One-Act (12 min), "'Georgie Gets a Facelift' is a dramedy about a guy who loses his job, and about some of the bad decisions he's made involving himself, his mother and a girl scout. Not like you’re thinking, though." (Patricia Sindelar, 'The Omaha Reader', 2009)
**"In Daniel Guyton's Georgie Gets a Facelift, the blackest of black comedies, the suicide attempts of the title character (played by Joey Folsom) keep getting interrupted by the telephone and the doorbell. In these days of screened calls, the hero's compulsion to pick up the receiver seems almost quaint. But as directed by Chad Cline, Folsom, Stephanie Hall as a Girl Scout and LisaAnne Haram as Georgie's mom turn in crisply hilarious performances... Guyton's delightfully perverse script is the one that you'll remember." (Lawson Taitte, 'The Dallas Morning News', 2010)
**[Eric] Grant-Leanna... stood out in the evening's first one-act entitled 'Georgie Gets a Facelift', portraying a suicidal schlemiel." (Mark Robinson, 'Omaha Theater Examiner', 2009)
**The first offering, 'Georgie Gets a Facelift' by Daniel Guyton, gave Liz Mulhern a chance to shine as an airhead mother pooh-poohing the problems of her suicidal and psychopathic son." (Warren Francke, 'The Omaha Reader', 2009)
