“These two wildly different short plays led to one great fringe experience. Both take you on a journey from start to finish and left me thinking and talking to my friends for hours after… Strong writing and acting and the story behind them (written and produced in 50 hours) is really cool. Sound design also strong in both… Highly recommend!”

Excerpted from a certified written review“I thoroughly enjoyed these two one-act plays that oddly fit together in the same bill: avant-garde, experimental, sad and completely absurd, but in a good way… I liked the use of the space, and the lighting and sound design added to the overall experience. Great performances across the board.”

Excerpted from a certified written review“A captivating and outright strange double-feature with two very distinct tones and emotional arcs… Electric performances coming to you from a surreal realm that’s very worth the visit. Each play offered a twist that I didn’t see coming.”

The comedic timing of the ensemble is on point. The humor lands consistently and leaves you wanting more from the world of the play.”

Excerpted from a video review“Today, in our day and age, we’re all dealing with a lot of anxiety, and both of these plays handle that subject matter so well. Coming to the theater is supposed to be entertaining, but it’s also a way to relate and connect, and this show really does that.”
