The things I love about this play are the characters, the genre and structure, and how queer it is. The main characters, including the dog Hoover, are specific and very human. Their earnest reckoning with identity and trauma is both compelling and makes me empathize with them. The use of SCOOBY DOO as a structural touchstone is genius and helps make the content more accessible to both queer audiences and the cis-hets. I especially love that this play centers young queer people as whole, complicated humans. I'd describe this play as fun and ruthlessly contemporary.
