Clever, Absorbing, Relevant, Thought-provoking, Great audience engagement

See it if you enjoy interacting w/the actors. You're up for an immersive "day in the life" of white middle class drug addicts (true story).

Don't see it if you don't like shows w/no 4th wall. You don't like being outdoors or walking 90-min. You want insights into root causes of drug addiction. Read more

Absorbing, Great acting, Great staging, Clever

See it if It's a nice day out. The entire show takes place outside and there is quite a bit of walking.

Don't see it if You have social anxiety and are unwilling to participate in the show. Participation is minimal, though, so don't be scared!

Quirky, Intense, Immersive, Funny, Some parts were slow

See it if You enjoy immersive shows in non-traditional spaces. You like being outdoors. You like shows based on real people.

Don't see it if You don't want to participate: no hiding in the back row here. You have trouble walking. You're uncomfortable w/addiction themes. Read more

Clever, Refreshing, Dramatic-improv, Highly-participatory

See it if you are intrigued by the idea of immersive interactive participatory theatre, especially if you have never seen a good example of that genre

Don't see it if you want a scripted play or anything traditionally staged, or you would be terrified at being called upon to do improv acting Read more

Entertaining, Ambitious

See it if you enjoy stories about life and its challenges, musicals for children.

Don't see it if outrageous talk, complicated, consuming to some, get emotional about families, challenging

Great acting, Relevant, Absorbing, Thought-provoking, Intense

See it if You really want to immerse yourself into the characters, stories and streets of the show.

Don't see it if You're not comfortable with improv or being called upon, direct interaction with characters or can't walk a lot.
