See it if you want to see a suprising challenging, incredibly well-rounded play. Every aspect is flawless-writing, acting, set,sound,lighing,directing

Don't see it if you can't be quiet and listen, you are racist, homophobic, you are closed-minded or you are easily offended by sexual themes, you hate pop

Must see, Relevant, Great writing, Great acting, Ambitious

See it if It’s just damn good theater. One of those things that reminds me why live theater will never die.

Don't see it if You can’t deal with nudity and explicit sexual content. Anything else that you don’t like means it’s doing it’s job. Read more

See it if You are interested in the most cutting-edge theater in town.

Don't see it if You’re sensitive to conversations about/displays of racial trauma, kinky sex, racial slurs, or assault.
