What a ride! Fast paced and held my attention the entire time. The subject matter was extremely topical and acting was very natural. I felt as if I was eavesdropping in their condo! Narration and background music added to the ambiance. Well done team Terminations Fee! ... full review

Loved this play! The writing and acting were amazing. I laughed a lot and the time flew by. It tackled heavy, relatable themes but kept it fun—a perfect dark comedy. I left feeling good and still thinking about it afterward. I could watch Sara and Ron all day!... full review

ASHLEY KARP certified reviewer June 25, 2025
With ingenious script writing, a well constructed heartfelt message about love, loss and life accompanied with an exquisite performance from duo Ron Placone and Sara Kay Godot, Termination Fee is one of those pieces that you remember long after the shows end. Ron's writing is so poignant to today. The overlying theme of couple's struggle because of the all too relevant troubles of our current health care system, then one of the only 'logical' decisions by one of the main characters that death would be the only way they could garner enough money for one of them to survive happily, is a scary yet could be factual story in today's day and age.

Termination Fee is a well written, well acted, and well designed dark comedy. You will simultaneously laugh and be frustrated at the American Healthcare system. There's also a beautiful story about reconnecting and finding happiness in the world set under the backdrop of a difficult topic. ... full review

ROY SCOTT certified reviewer June 21, 2025
A powerfully acted production that not only thoroughly rips America's garbage healthcare system a new one, but allows me to feel a certain type of way so that I laugh-so-I-don't-cry but also cry-so-I-wanna-do-something. Does that make sense? No? Well, Termination Fee does make a heck of a lot of sense. The jokes are poignant, relatable, and relevant to the moment. The timelessness struck me, because some lines felt almost like they could have been written just that morning, months ago, or 10 years prior. The story set out what it aimed to achieve, and is exactly the art we need in our culture today, given the hyper-capitalist, hyper-exploitative nature of our systems - especially for-profit healthcare - that are designed to tear us down phys... full review
