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

See it if You want to see two very interesting plays in their own right performed by some talented performers. One play about life and one about death

Don't see it if You are not comfortable seeing a play about human cloning and one about suicide. You want something light and fluffy. Read more

Absorbing, Clever, Great acting, Edgy

See it if Brandon Walker is great in 3 roles. Both shows needed this re-showing. Small intimate space makes one "WITH" the actors.

Don't see it if Both shows are two-handers. Both shows should be checked out re: info or old descriptions before attending. Read more

Thought-provoking, Disturbing, Absorbing, Dark, Edgy

See it if #1: Your secretly cloned kids come back to haunt you. #2: Your kid wants to give you a manicure, then kill herself. Sinister humor.

Don't see it if You don't enjoy dark comedy that is mostly dark but ultimately ridiculous. If you are willing to accept the premise, you will enjoy the ride

Absorbing, Great acting, Edgy

See it if These two one-acts are worth seeing. The acting is good and the scripts are engaging. Plays about the human condition...Smart and timely...

Don't see it if You are offended by the topic of suicide or cloning...

Great acting, Great writing, Relevant, Entertaining, Confusing

See it if You enjoy the mother-daughter relationship that so often affects the daughter so negatively. The “A Number” play was a bit confusing.

Don't see it if You want an up night!

Absorbing, Quirky, Thought-provoking, Intelligent, Great writing

See it if You enjoy The Twilight Zone. Both shows (but especially A Number) reminded me of TTZ episodes. A little dark, odd and timely.

Don't see it if You can’t appreciate downtown theatre done in a basement on a shoestring budget. I love it but...this ain’t Phantom!
