    This play is wonderful. It mimics the story progression of "stoner comedies" with unique perspective, voice, and theatricality. There's tenderness, competition, and a potent sense of nostalgia and longing for the past that is subversive and overwhelming familiar. I want to see "Stoner Comedy" everywhere!

    I really hope I get to see this play produced soon. Loved how cinematic it is. A gorgeous meditation on friendship and self-discovery.
