Funny, Ambitious, Confusing, Quirky, Great writing

See it if Playwright Eddie Vernovsky definitely has a way with words. The dialogue in this piece is rapid fire and engaging, and most of the actors

Don't see it if give it good life. Vernovsky still needs some help with the bigger structural elements of the show. The pacing felt off, and each scene was Read more

Clever, Insipid, Disappointing, Banal, Quirky

See it if you want to support new works - here there is the grasp of a good story, written with true-to-life current speak, that needs development.

Don't see it if a modest production with uneven acting and lots of tension that just doesn't take you anywhere would leave you wondering about the message.

Overrated, Quirky, Indulgent, Disappointing, Confusing

See it if you like alternate theater performed in a minimal environment.

Don't see it if you want to see a more traditional play where you can relate to the characters actions.

Incomplete, Intense, Confusing

See it if you want to see a play apparently still in development. That has significant potential, but is very incomplete

Don't see it if you only want a show with fully flushed out character development and thoughts, or alcoholism, suicide and cancer are too triggering. Read more

Incomprehensible

See it if you know someone in the production. Stammering dialogue was neither poetic nor illuminating. Character and plot development nonexistent.

Don't see it if you need understandable characters with rational motivations. I didn't care about any character except to wonder who was most irritating.
