Great acting, Quirky, Funny, Slow, Entertaining

See it if you enjoy dysfunctional families dealing with problems including relationships, finances, health, employment, death and other insecurities.

Don't see it if you expect a fast moving production - many scenes here and some repetition. Could be trigger for those dealing with same or uncomfortable.

Confusing, Clever

See it if you enjoy family tragicomedies. ***address given on receipt is wrong. It's not 505 1/2 Waverly Ave. It's 18 Putnam Ave***

Don't see it if looking for a show with good production value, script with no fat. hour 45 min w/ no intermission Read more

Some strong performances, Inhospitable space, Worthy, Poetical, Shapeless

See it if you want to support talent & plays that focus on the middle class African-American experience.

Don't see it if you want an intermission if a show goes 2 hours, professional caliber design, or a temperate theater.
