Wink

See it if You like supporting "first draft" works that are repetitive & slow moving (park bench, office, etc). You like 1950s "scene change" music.

Don't see it if You want a well-acted fast-paced drama; you hate many line flubs in shows. Flashing lights at end are painful to the eyes. 1 hour 45 min.

See it if Worthwhile LGBTQ drama but the script is barely credible in that the star falls for the homeless youth so fast. Joshua De Jesus is very good

Don't see it if Joshua De Jesus is a charismatic actor but is miscast as Wink who thinks he's non-gender-specific. But Josh's Wink is definitely a boy-man

See it if you are open to characters wrestling with gender identity issues. The acting and the writing are superb and involve audience members.

Don't see it if you are not interested in dealing with the topic of gender identify especially among homeless youth.

See it if you believe that love is love, have in interest in LGBTQ issues and are open to thinking outside the box.

Don't see it if you are homophobic or don't wished to be challenged by gender norms.

See it if You are really into LGBTQ themed theater, and don't mind seeing a play that needs more development and focus

Don't see it if Your looking for a fully developed play that consists of five well rounded characters, as this piece only has two.

See it if you are fan of Hollywood fiction and enjoy watching shows about human connection

Don't see it if you are overtly critical of new work or uncomfortable with transgender issues.

Also The acting was great, smart staging. My only complaint was at a pivotal moment in the show where they could have made a difference and really spoken out about how people are affected by sexual assault, they chose to take the cliche and easy route.... Read more Read less

See it if you enjoy really fine theater

Don't see it if you are looking for something light and fluffy

Also fabulous acting, great script, a really sensitive and insightful presentation of a difficult situation. Good canned music, appropriate for the happenings.... Read more Read less

See it if If you are into homless and gender Social issues ...Is Heartful

Don't see it if Not into social and gender issues

See it if you like controversial topics and appreciate great acting

Don't see it if You don't value diversity

See it if interested in topics of the LGBT community especially younger members who are genger questioning and/or homeless. Like relevant drama.

Don't see it if U are uncomfortable with LGBT issues. U are not into profound drama plays & only want lighthearted entertainment.

Also Play highlights the growing # of gender questioning LGBT youths in identity crisis seeking gender liberation without labels. It also focuses on homeless youths in this community who need care & support from non-profit social programs as well as compassionate friends.

All the above are brought out by the eponymous Wink who is the subject of the play when he encounters a famous actor with a painful secret that needs redemption. They formed a soulmate connection via a common love for doo-wop music (good music!)Actor decides to do something phenomenal for Wink but must contend with relationship questions by a program counselor, resistance from his self serving homophobic agent, & trusting a female press rep. to announce his big plan.

Good story structure & plot but far fetched re:actor & housekeeper's incredible "secret".
Must edit BORING stretched scenes with encounter & support cast squabbles & deliberate ineffective excess stagetime for Wink's silliness! Develop Actor & plots better!... Read more Read less

See it if Very moving tale of how two lost souls can create a family. Great acting.

Don't see it if You have no empathy for people down on their luck
