Funny, Intelligent, Relevant

See it if you like straight plays. It's not amazing, but it's a good new play about relevant and interesting issues. That's far too rare nowadays.

Don't see it if you're looking for a harsh drama. It was funnier than I expected. It worked well, but the loudness and humor might throw some off.

Banal, Funny, Disappointing

See it if You have a free night & a cheap ticket. Or if you have a particular interest in stories of the educational system and underprivileged youth.

Don't see it if You want to see a play that treads on new ground. It's a perfectly fine play, but a familiar one and not a particularly original premise.

Absorbing, Funny, Great acting

See it if Ike Holter is an incredible writer and his cast lived up to his words. He's incredible, as was the whole thing.

Don't see it if You don't like plays that deal with high schools.

Disappointing, Dizzying, Excruciating, Overrated, Slow

See it if you don't mind overacting and a slow moving play.

Don't see it if you can't stand over acting and loud blaring music for scene transitions.
