Member Reviews (6)
See it if Enjoy terrific performances by a wide range of women in a fun and quirky new script.
Don't see it if You don't have an open mind or aren't interested in seeing the world through the eyes of eccentric characters.
See it if You are in the pocket of surprise, wonder, quality acting, creativity, surprise, did I say surprise?, and in general Clubbed Thumb.
Don't see it if You like your theater to grind forward steadily from beginning to end with out diversion.
