Clever, Intelligent, Quirky, Edgy, Entertaining

See it if you enjoy performance art that requires to to move around a bit and engage. Here there is some good singing, dancing, tales acting & video.

Don't see it if you want a cohesive story - these are small snippets that revolve around a theme, some in Spanish without interpretation.

Slow, Quirky, Indulgent, Entertaining, Clever

See it if you want an open mike/cabaret-type feel, experimental performance; interested in the gay experience

Don't see it if you don't want to move around to explore the space; are uncomfortable with sexual innuendo

Provocative, Quirky, Edgy, Ambitious

See it if ur up for a radical multimedia performance art piece that upends traditional views of masculinity/femininity via the lens of queer cowpokes.

Don't see it if u loathe avant-garde theater; u aren't interested in queer studies; u can't accept that John Wayne may not be everyone's paragon of virility

Experimental, Multi-media, Gallery-like installations, Lgbtq+ narrative, Loosely structured

See it if Themes include cowboy macho culture, closeted man seduction.. Ambiguous; Multi-media installation; way too experimental

Don't see it if flashy & loud at times; weak ensemble; words make little sense
