Also A play about three individuals brought together by circumstances. This piece is unfocused, rambles and doesn't come to any conclusions. A hard workout for three able actors... Read more Read less

See it if you like stories about random encounters that change the trajectories of people's lives, stories about neighbors, small theater spaces

Don't see it if you don't like heavy-handed discussions of race/gender/sexuality; you don't like bad poetry that attempts to be meaningful.

Also Play was confusing and heavy-handed. The jogging at the start/end and the poetry interspersed didn't add to the meaning. At least one of the charcaters uses a number of slurs that don't edify the story and aren't earned by the plot. Nothing against the actors, but the writing made it unbearable.... Read more Read less

See it if you like episodic acting scenes that circle around ideas--all at a very loud volume, with provocative announcements​

Don't see it if you want clarity about whether this is a comedy or a serious show about race and social issues. Acting was excellent but play made no sense.

See it if you want to see an actor from Frasier almost trip constantly on puddled canvas everywhere. If you like cliche stories about racism and jogs.

Don't see it if you need a clear, coherent script not saddled with unfocused characters and unclear writing.

Also This play was confusing and troubled from start to finish. the entire set and auditorium were covered in canvas (for reasons that are unclear), the actors enter and start jogging in place (again, unclear). Then the story unfolds in ways that defy sense of logic. All three characters are disgusting people so there's no one to root for or learn anything from. There is also a lot of talk about Nokia phones to a point where I was laughing at the word.

Ultimately the play introduces too many ideas and thoughts then gets bogged down by them, tries to make a statement about racism but ultimately says kind of racist things.... Read more Read less

See it if You want to see a play so bad that it's kind of good. I'm definitely still talking about all the absurd things that happened.

Don't see it if You want to see a fully realized production. The "set" is a couch &box covered in canvas that extends to the seats as well, for some reason.

Also If this were purposefully a comedy I would have given it 100 because it's so ludicrous. Instead it's a deadly serious drama that you laugh at. The writing comes across very amateurish and throws hot button topic on hot button topic. There's racism! There's homophobia! There's addiction! There's the aftermath of a stroke! There's a religious zealot! There's abortions and miscarriages! The acting is pretty bad with the slight exception being Dan Butler leaning more into a reprise of Bulldog. The "set" as I mentioned is a joke. The lighting is non-existent. All in all this was pretty terrible but see it for a good laugh.... Read more Read less
