    “ Filled with illogic and absurd moments, Webb finds sense in the nonsense. Imagine That shines a crooked light on the nature of belief in our society and even when it is turns wicked, Webb gives us heart. The fast-paced, whacky moments build until you are so engaged, you’re rooting for everyone - especially the Alligator. ”

    “ Such a delight! A wickedly funny absurdist comedy that is at times brutal, tender, and desperate. In wildly theatrical ways, the play raises surprisingly dark questions about value in contemporary American society. ”
