    An examination of what love is, brilliantly scrutinized through the stories of the various characters.
    I loved the musicality of the dialogue, along with the imagery woven throughout.

    A fantastic look at love through a unique lens that shows us where it can take us with humor. Well done.

    "Show me all the parts of you that you do not love so I know where to begin."

    At once hilarious and earth-shattering, THE ELVIS ADMINISTRATION has a charm that is utterly unique. The musicality and poetry called to mind Charles Mee, but Walters has a voice all her own. She somehow manages to perfectly pair the poignant with the hysterical. With repetition riddled throughout, this play explores the universal vulnerability inherent in loving another creature.
