From the show:
They’re coming for your souls. They’re coming tonight. That would be a scary thought if “They” weren’t a couple of greenhorn demons more concerned with socializing than doing their jobs. Lisa and Dave are siblings in a tight spot– if they can’t find a loophole in their infernal contract, they’re going to hell. Tonight. But with an increasingly eccentric cast literally breaking down their door, they’re going to need to think outside the box. SOUL SURVIVOR is first and foremost a raucous comedy exploring an obnoxious, bureaucratic hell. Any touching moments or examination of morality is purely accidental.
See it if You can enjoy something that’s completely ridiculous, over the top and unbelievable yet manages to explore some harsh truths in a funny way.
Don't see it if You’re not willing to set aside reality for a little while and let the absurd dark humor take you away.
Also This was MUCH better than I expected. So glad I went. It really spoke ... Read more Read less

Don't see it if you want great drama - a bit campy and not too funny though there are lots of good points surfaced most of them fell flat for me.
See it if A few funny absurd moments. Plus full Male nudity in first extended scene
Don't see it if A bit too over the top and jokes become tired. Off off Broadway quality
See it if You need some laughs
Don't see it if If you’re serious about you theatre
See it if Amusing show affirms the humanity of ppl w/ sobriety problems; condemns the selfish, shrewish squares who begrudge having to supervise them.
Don't see it if you prefer secular arguments to religious ones. Addict is cast as a holy fool. Show’s moral reasoning boils down to "because God says so."
Also Would feel a little like Kevin Smith's Dogma if perfectly executed. Fu... Read more Read less
See it if interested in a young playwrights attempt at a farcical approach to religion, selling of souls, heaven & hell. A few amusing moments.
Don't see it if easily offended by satirizing religion, gore, male nudity, substance abuse. I was not offended by the above, but was by the lack of craft.
Also The description of the show sounded promising...Unfulfilled.
See it if you understand the silliness of family loyalty no matter the costs and enjoy send ups of Heaven and Hell
Don't see it if you are a fundamentalist Christian or any other religion that believes in Old Testament justice or family loyalty at all costs
Also Much of the staging of this show, but not the writing, was developed t... Read more Read less

See it if You like weird, goofy, ridiculous comedy. And don't mind seeing a naked guy get stabbed in the eye.
Don't see it if Well it's not going to go well for you if you don't have a sense of humor or issues with nudity.
See it if You're up for a farcical, heartfelt meditation on the sometimes lethal cost of care-taking and literal deals with the Devil. Fresh writing.
Don't see it if You can't suspend belief, don't like tipsy demons, farce or Teddy Roosevelt as a soul repo guy. Cast is young, fine and all in, all shine.

See it if It's funny. It's pretty well written but sort of falls apart in the last 15 min. It's a young cast having a lot of infectious fun.
Don't see it if There's male nudity, there's a lot of cursing, there's some violence & gore, & it needs a bit of a rewrite. Worth seeing, but not essential.
See it if you don't mind nudity and violence
Don't see it if you don't want to ponder the soul and where it is.
See it if You might like the gratuitous nudity (male only). Or young actors acting their hearts out for you. Or your fruitless search for any meaning.
Don't see it if Too many awkward moments, laughs that don't come, props that fail. On the bright side, there's plenty of room for improvement.
See it if You are full of questions about contracts with our souls before and after death And might be looking for a loophole. It’s fun and good!
Don't see it if You are Not comfortable with questioning the punishment and reward system relating to heaven and hell And in between and finding humor in it
See it if You are not easily offended or put off by prolonged on stage nudity and references to hell.
Don't see it if Nudity, drug references and simulated gore and violence are not to your liking.
Also I found Mr. Dante Piro’s play spirited and original, though still in a... Read more Read less
See it if You literally enjoy toilet humor and absurdity with minimal stage props and characters who lack depth and meaning.
Don't see it if You are sensitive to coarse language, drug and alcohol abuse or to themes making light of religious beliefs.
