    “

    A biting satire that takes square aim at each criticism of the Millenial generation and fires back on all cylinders. Funny, precise, and unafraid to get weird. Highly recommend!

    “

    A dizzying, Ritalin-fueled satire that takes careful aim at our current age of precarity without sacrificing an ounce of heart. Read this play today, before you get too old to remember what the struggle was like.

    A really great, funny and witty play that explores the trials and tribulations of Millenials in a compassionate and smart way. I can't recommend this play highly enough!
