See it if You enjoy heartfelt stories of family dynamics and small town legends.
Don't see it if You don't like loud unexpected noises. You are unable to climb stairs (to use the bathroom).
See it if you like being engaged in other people's lives. Father & daughter reunited. Ghost plays important part.
Don't see it if you don't care about family dynamics and quirky friends.
See it if you enjoy a well-crafted show which has an unexpected twist, easy to understand characters, and a happy ending.
Don't see it if you are afraid of guns, don't like cowboy types or ghosts; don't like a play in which the main characters lack chemistry.
See it if you're a Texan (I am)-it's very true to life, including gun culture and the death of small towns. Odd that playwright is from Schenectady...
Don't see it if you're intolerant of guns, you want a printed playbill or you're looking for a deep message. Ending needed more punch-didn't ring quite true
See it if you enjoy smart comedy writing with simple plot.
Don't see it if you're disappointed with lack of special "ghostly" effect.
See it if You like good acting, you like plays that deal with family, you like plays that deal with our economy and how it affects everyone
Don't see it if You don't like plays, you like frothy theater
See it if You like comedies with a bit of drama. Small intimate venues with a small cast.
Don't see it if You are offended by drinking and swearing.
See it if you want to see a coming home / reuniting with family story, with a touch of the supernatural. Good writing and acting, nice set.
Don't see it if you want a very active or intense play, if you must have 100 percent realism, if you don't want to see a simple story.

"A rollicking good ghost story…It’s also a very fine coming-home story, reconciliation story and small-town-hero story — another spunky, funny work by Josh Tobiessen…Mr. Weiner is electric here, a talky bundle of stuck-in-the-past…The director, Wes Grantom, gets Mr. Tobiessen’s script just right, disguising the twists and jokes adroitly and drawing fine performances out of everyone. If there is a ghost living in Walter’s store, it’s a well-entertained one."

"Skillfully directed by Wes Grantom, everyone has a great time playing these characters with almost perfection; a talented group and a great ensemble…The play, though filled with charm and heart, has a few awkward moments that still need to be worked through to make it fully realized and flow freely...Moments need to be deepened, and transitions need to be ironed out, but the play has a great core; connections and relationships are all there."

"There is an abundance of humor, warmth and wisdom in this small show. Ghosts and guns play their part, but it is its well-drawn and beautifully played characters that make it a go see. Director Wes Grantom does a great job of bumping people into each other at just the right moment and playwright Josh Tobiessen knows how to spin a surprise like a master."
