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

See it if you are interested in issues faced by military veterans, drug users, fractured families; fine ensemble acting in an intimate space.

Don't see it if you aren't interested in the above; don't enjoy intimate productions with limited space and scenery,

Entertaining, Ambitious

See it if you like family dramas that are realistic, but a little off-center.

Don't see it if you can't laugh in the face of dark topics (like suicide, drug abuse, death). You need everything to end happily, this is open-ended. Read more

Ambitious

See it if You want to support well-meaning young theater artists.

Don't see it if The writing is a bit scattered, spread out over several subjects that it doesn't quite tie into the dramatic action.

Confusing, Disappointing, Cliched, Intense, Ambitious

See it if Small theatre with big ideas, actors starting to make their mark, some good moments... Some large ideas are in there... but hard to find.

Don't see it if You like watching people scream to be intense — this show has a ton of it. And a lot of Fucks. A lot a lot. So many it's a crutch...

Disappointing, Cliched, Excruciating, Decent acting, Mixed writing - needed editing and to drop melodramatic lines

See it if you want to sit through 2 hours of angst with some funny, sincere moments eclipsed by a lot of unnecessary panting and shouting

Don't see it if plays where nothing happens (neither plot-wise nor character-growth wise) don't appeal, nor do plays with potential that still need work. Read more
